That was this morning, after I spent a couple of hours Sunday trying to get my goddamned new wireless printer to print something wirelessly…
Printing at home is quite possibly the single remaining broken experience of computing. Enterprise-grade printers — mostly from HP — seem to work consistently and with little fuss. Printing at home is a total nightmare.
I opined a few...

I spent 30 minutes syncing my iPhone after I had to force quit three times because my goddamned iTunes library kept getting hung up while “updating.”

While I’m in a tech-rant mood, did tumblr really take the better part of a year to make updates to their iPhone app that arguably make it worse than it was before? Did that really happen or was it just a dream?

iPhone 4 Video on Tumblr
Apparently, tumblr has no idea what to do with an iPhone 4 video in portrait mode. It cropped it or offset it or somehow handled it strangely even though the preview images are fine. It also pixilated the crap out of an HD video.
WatchI just bought the Elias Animal Cards app for the boy. They’re pretty great, but I want to show you two things: first, the sound that a unicorn makes, which isn’t at all what I expected; second, the unicorn’s unimaginary cousin the horse looks and sounds as if he’s just been violated.
I had a dream last night that I was incarcerated in an Alcatraz-esque island prison, but we had daily furloughs in which we were bussed to the Time-Warner Center at Columbus Circle in Manhattan to work at Whole Foods.
On one of these furloughs, I befriended George Clooney, who was a busker whose specialty was juggling nine balls. He said he would teach me how to juggle nine balls as well. I was...
I don’t think I’ve done the call letters for a while, so here goes:
essdogg on twitter, tumblr, Flickr, ping, Words with Friends, and probably some other stuff.
I also have an account for links and stuff in my actual name on twitter — shandonfowler.
On all of the porn sites, just look for Dr. Deep.

Democracy Is Awesome
Nikki Haley has won the South Carolina GOP primary runoff for governor. A GOP win is virtually a lock to win in November. Approximately 350,000 people cast ballots in the runoff. There are 3.5 million potential voters in South Carolina. So, approximately 10 percent of people in the state just had a voice in who will be the next governor and only 6 percent cast a vote for her. Super.
For those of you who aren’t parents or haven’t gotten to this one yet, you’ll be pleased to know that the Disney Peter Pan is gloriously politically incorrect. Easily the most offensive scene is a song-and-dance number by Neverland’s Indian tribe that’s titled “Who Made the Red Man Red?” Um, triple exclamation point in parentheses!

Commemorative Coins for Utah’s Firing Squad →
penllawen:
Utah is the only state in the U.S. that has death by firing squad. Oklahoma allows it only if lethal injection and electrocution are ruled unconstitutional. However, firing squads are used in Afghanistan, Belarus, Ethiopia, Indonesia, North Korea, Somalia, Yemen, and some provinces in China.
Stay classy, Utah. You’re in great company.

Hell yeah. I can also have an orgasm fully clothed. Big deal…
Ladies, amirite?

Okay, confession time. I can’t figure out how to take off a bra at all.

FYI: Kids Shoes
All of those shoes you’re not supposed to wear as an adult if you care remotely about what others think of you? Crocs?Tevas? Stride-Rite velcro sneakers? They are ALL fantastic shoes for kids. Don’t blame me — I didn’t make up the rules. I bet it was Dora. That’s totally something she would do.
I totally Beckham'd reading this.

The U.S. made one of the most remarkable second-half comebacks in World Cup history, becoming only the fifth team ever to gain a tie after taking a 2-0 deficit into halftime. But this result should have been the first time a team had ever won 3-2 in the World Cup after going down 2-0 at halftime. Maurice...

Surprise NYC trip
Found out today that I get to make a short visit next Thursday-Friday (24-25). I will have a good portion of Friday free and I might-could hit a museum and some other things food-oriented and wish-I-still-lived-in-NYC-oriented. Anyone want to nerd it up?
