Oct 29: Musings about blogging, Jason, some other junk and a t-shirt
There are sometimes that I find something interesting and consider blogging about it. But then, I remember a conversation I had with my friend Jason in which he discussed his disgust with people who post a link to something with no comment or other original content. Today, I stop feeling bad about this due to some of the recent entries on his blog (example 1, example 2).
Side note relating to example 1 above: it's great that OSX is finally getting virtual desktops (although, I dislike their calling them 'spaces'). It's one of those things that I could never go back to not having and OSX, being a UNIX and all, should really have them. OSX's lack of virtual desktops has been one of my major complaints. Now, if they would just open the source...
Anyway, the real reason I started this post (and had the associated Jason-induced guilt) was to point out this great shirt in the latest batch of Threadless tees:
It's called 'Best Mime Ever.' Genius!
p.s. Genius is one of those words that I have to look up every time I type it because it never looks right to me. Even now, having just looked it up for the preceding paragraph, I'm fighting the urge to do so again--it just looks wrong. I think that I want it to have an o somewhere.
another p.s. I posted an entry with some photos from a recent wedding over on my biz blog.

Heh; very funny. In fact, I hesitated at those posts for the very reason you point out. That conversation stuck with me, even though I/we haven't always acted on it.
Don't give in!
That's basically the reason I effectively quit blogging. I'm never in the mood to generate anything original. I had actually decided that this was ok, and that I could just post links all the time, but then reason got the better of me.
Re: Virtual Desktops: Consider this the obligatory "But you could do it with third party software!!" retort. I haven't updated to 10.5, I might just wait until I can afford a new Intel Mac, or at least until 10.5.1 comes out. In a somewhat related topic, I am considering installing Ubuntu on an oldish Dell thats been gathering dust. I used a Debian LiveCD to recover a laptop that wouldn't boot, and it was so fun I want to play with it some more.
Best mime t-shirt design ever, I might have to buy one.
I have to say I don't mind an occasionally link to something the poster found but doesn't want to recopy. Check out Myke's blog. and click on the Uncle Jay pictures. Very funny take on the news.

I don't like the t-shirt because of the suicide implications. Although the humor of the mime is not lost on me.
