I don't care for Atlanta's airport. Instead of the hub-and-spoke terminal formation commonly found at airports, it uses a spine-and-rib formation. The tram takes you along the spine and then each terminal is a pair of perpendicular ribs. So if you'r…

How about a change of pizza? Like these pizza cones: http://www.instructables.com/id/pizza-cones/?ALLSTEPS Also, the word "pizza" is starting to look weird.

I reluctantly set up work Outlook on my iPhone this week. When I look at my work calendar items, there is a "Notes" field that has the information from the meeting request. I'm not sure if it would include attachments or not, though, since I don't h…

Oh yeah, and don't confuse it with "Il Postino (The Postman)" because it's not the same movie.
-
I haven't seen the Kevin Costner movie version, but "The Post Man" book on which it's based was good (Then again, I did read it in high school, so maybe my judgement is suspect). It takes place in a future where the federal government lost control,…

Sorry, I guess no more people can join now that the draft is scheduled. And I can't un-schedule it.
-
OK. Draft starts in 72 hours (I can't change it), so you have three days to join our league.
-
Cool! The first game kicks off at 8:30 p.m. ET (5:30 PT) so if any one else wants in, feel free to join!
-
Well, once we get enough people and the league starts, we can trade and stuff, but I put it on auto-pick because the season starts today so there's not enough time to have a live draft.
-
OK. This should link should let you join the league: http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/register/tos?league_id=864626&password=quacker

I'm trying to mouse with my left hand today and it's messing up my brain. Every action, not just mousing, is very deliberate now -- like I have to fight years of muscle memory, even though most things should be the same, like typing. Why is it weird…

My screen is also cracked, though not quite as severely. I think I was told $199 to replace it. But it still works, so I'm just going to wait for the next version to be released and upgrade. If it works OK, you can put a piece of clear packing ta…

I'm at 15%, oldest message is from August 2004.

Wow. It's been a while since I've been on UHX, so I'm still getting caught up. My stand up desk is just a side table (IKEA Lack, specifically) on top of a regular desk (no brand). I have hardwood floors and find that I can stand longer if I wear sh…

I've started to log in to Facebook only when using Safari's "Privacy mode" or Chrome's "Incognito" window. There are too many sites with "like" buttons and other Facebook hooks that I'm not interested in having plastered all over my "wall."

Did that iMic make it to Portland? Any luck getting it to work with the iPad?
-
1. Yes. 3. Heard about it in high school. 4. It was required reading in a class I didn't take. 5. I remember other people talking about reading it. But I didn't.
-
Hey, Alan_Frogtor. I finally dropped the iMic in the mail. You should get it next week sometime.
-
Cool. I found the one I have. E-mail me your address and I'll drop it in the mail this week. curt.merrill@gmail.com
-
I think I have one that I'm not using. I'll confirm when I get home this afternoon/evening. How soon do you need it? (It will take a few days to get from ATL to PDX.)
-
I feel like I go to Portland enough to no longer be considered a tourist, but I ride the tram every time I'm in town.

According to an analyst interviewed in the Economist. The best time to buy a plane ticket is on Tuesday at 3 p.m. ET (noon PT), 8 weeks before your flight. http://www.economist.com/blogs/gulliver/2011/02/when_buy_airline_tickets I'm guessing that …

Most Canadian bacon in the U.S. is a ham-product. But real Canadian bacon is back bacon (from the back of a pig instead of the belly).

I'm surprised no one has mentioned James Bond, yet. The confident, martini-drinking womanizer who can also kick some ass when called upon (even if it's using crazy gadgets that someone else -Q- came up with). I mean, what other secret agent will g…
