Loogies from the Dungeonmaster…
So as everyone knows, sometimes emails are sent with fake from addresses. And sometimes I get replies from those emails that I never sent. This one is the best I've ever got:
DUE TO EXCESSIVE FLOODING OF JUNK MAIL AND WEAK VIRUS/TROJAN ATTEMPTS BY IDIOTS, THIS EMAIL ADDRESS IS NOW INACTIVE. ALL MAIL SENT HERE WILL BE RETURNED.
----------------------------------------------
IF YOU ARE A FRIEND OR CLIENT YOU SHOULD HAVE OTHER MEANS OF CONTACTING ME.
----------------------------------------------
IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE IDIOTS, GET A LIFE! YOU CAN'T EVEN HACK A LOOGIE. YOUR WEAK ASS PRIMITIVE MIND NEEDS TO BE REMOVED THROUGH YOUR NECK! HEY, WHO KNOWS MAYBE ONE DAY WE WILL MEET AND I CAN SHOW YOU!
----------------------------------------------
MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA AND WATCH OVER OUR TROOPS AS THEY MOP THE WORLD CLEAN OF SHIT LIKE YOU!

John Gruber Is A Funny Funny Guy
So I read daring fireball by John Gruber and enjoy the little snide comments about the current tech item of the minute. So the current news item is the new photos of this previously unphotographed tribe living in the amazon.
John's Comment:
Someone needs to let these people know about the upcoming new iPhone.
Funny funny shit. Nice to see that he can recognize the frivolity of the same industry that he works in. Good job.
If I knew then what I know now….
Getting all my tax stuff together and over to my accountant and I was reviewing everything. Being that my father is a CPA he sold some of my apple stock off this year to diversify my IRA a bit.
I bought Apple stock on 10/24/2000 at $10.44/share. I sold it this year at $190.28/share. Nice.
Now if I had only bought more than the few shares I did, as I bought under 100 shares. Oh well.
Apple Fingered Me
So I have had this iPhone for a little while now, and I have gotten pretty used to it.
I also have had this MacBook for a while now.
On the MacBook, you can use 2 fingers on the track pad to scroll. Obviously, 2 fingers going down on the trackpad scrolls down. Two fingers up scrolls up. Amazing. I use it all the time. Love it.
Recently though, I have noticed myself thinking 'lets scroll down' and my fingers 2 finger scroll up. My mind says 'wth' and my fingers do it right. You know how it is, it happens quickly and you you think nothing of it. It just now dawned on my it is a result of the fact that the MacBook and the iPhone do OPPOSITE motions for scrolling.
It is kinda frustrating. Opposite paradigms for the same thing. Both make sense.
