What I’m reading with my coffee

Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like if you’re going to make a major media announcement about the new look of your homepage you should make something truly different. The new beta Yahoo page just moves things around. (Probably so that the banner ads show up mid-page instead of at the top where they can be easily ignored, right Yahoo? Bleech!)

Steven’s response to my “deep thinking” blog:

Deep thinking? You’ve got a “deep thinking” blog? What is this world coming to? Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can think deep thoughts at will and blog them. There is a pestilence upon this land. Nothing is sacred. Even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress at this period in history..

Nothing like starting your morning with a Holy Grail reference. 🙂

Speaking of deep thinking, I’ve added The Volokh Conspiracy to the blogroll. Reading that blog will give the old brain a good workout!

Hmm I think I’m going to have to spend more time this summer doing reflective activities. Walking to the local library yesterday evening (where I picked up a copy of Small Pieces Loosely Joined, can’t wait to dig into that!) resulted in a few thoughts that turned into that post over there. Don’t worry, I’ll keep all my reflective, “deep” thoughts over there, it’s a more appropriate place. But if you are interested, you might want to click over every now and then.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to write up some documentation. That should keep me from having any more deep thoughts for awhile.

    Thanks to Cam World for pointing out this $399 computer from Walmart. When did Wally’s World start selling PC’s with no OS?

    Oh, want to know what I learned today? When you remotely install Symantec’s Corporate edition AV product, make sure the user either has Outlook closed when you do it, or restarts Outlook immediately after you do it.
