The Monkey

It really was excellent; thanks for posting it, Ric. It's weird, but if anything, I'm feeling MORE sad today and I feel like it will continue for a while. I'm very surprised about how his death is affecting me. Particularly, as I've said before, his reflections on life and death resonate with me in a way I find difficult to articulate.

Can anyone think of another businessperson whose death has been as significant? I cannot.

Johnny Drum.

I only recently read his Stanford speech, and it really resonates with me.

That makes me sadder than I thought it would. I wonder if he would have traded it all for more time. Something tells me probably not, but, wow, not a guy I wanted to see die early.

Jesus. I can't even imagine paying off my godforsaken mortgage. Basically my apartment is a place I rent from the bank until I need am forced to "sell" it to a junior analyst from Goldman.

I like this thread. I wish I could do casework like some of you magicians. Maybe I'll learn something to help my meager skills.

Chipmunks walk the plank!

Free 3GS and $99 iPhone 4 are actually pretty nice deals, imo.

lol. Contraption pics please.

I like the idea of Siri, but I think people will look and feel stupid talking to their digital "assistant."

Let's just say it's not easy being a Jets fan.

Congrats Chris!

Fuckin' internets.

Yeah, we are going to stop yahoo mail and go to much stronger passwords. However, is there any way to determine if this is an actual case of hacking or just spoofing (sorry if wrong terminology)?

Need some help from you guys. My wife's Yahoo! account appears to have been compromised, though I'm not sure. Here's what's happening: her Yahoo! contacts are all getting spammed by email purportedly from her. She's received lots of emails from friends alerting her and a ton of bouncebacks to her Yahoo! address. I checked her sent mail folder and there is nothing unusual there. Further, her contact list has not been deleted. We've changed her password, but I'm trying to see what else we should do and also see what the root cause is here. I know this happens all the time and could use some advice about how to proceed. Thanks gang.

How useful is a Mac Server at home? Put another way, what kind of cool stuff does it allow you to do that you otherwise could not?

Heh, the wifi on this bus sucks.

Thanks, Steve. Nothing a little trip out west won't cure.

Got diagnosed with Lyme disease...again. Nothing serious and glad it explains the joint pain and flu feeling, but jesus, enough already. Fucking ticks.

I'm really just talking about the anti-competitive behavior of a possible tying arrangement.
