Asymptomatic

For all you saucer-eyed barbarians, I’ve discovered the ultimate Sushi Eating guide.

It’s an attractive idea, but it’ll never happen.

It’s not as hard to believe it’s December as it is that the holiday season is upon us again. There are only 23 shopping days before Christmas, and I have zero gifts in mind, much less acquired.

Pat recently sent out email to everyone telling them to use Wish List Live. While I appreciate the support, I wish I would have had time to do all of the upgrades I wanted before everyone was force to use it. Oh well, I’m working on it as fast as I can. The new changs look great, primarily because the IE-only table design of Wish List Live version 1.0 now looks better as a CSS-enabled Firefox and IE-friendly version 2.0.

The Christmas season brings out the best and worst of everyone, oftentimes making for wonderful stories in the years that follow. The following story is an old one, and has been retold so many times over the years since it happened that I’m sure everyone knows it, but I hadn’t bothered to write it down for posterity. May the participants in this farce remain merry after my public retelling of their story - it ain’t pretty.

I’m becoming more annoyed with DVD production companies these days.

Nearly every Disney DVD has about a half hour of previews before the feature starts. Many of the discs don’t let you push the menu button to skip directly to the menu. It’s not possible to skip over the FBI warning or the INTERPOL warning at the beginning of many of these DVDs.

You can buy a blank writeable DVD at Staples for less than a dollar now, and still these movie DVDs cost $25 and up at the botiques. They jack up the price of the box citing the 43+ hours of extra features. Have you really ever bought a disc because of the extra features?
