America’s oldest continuously running movie theater could let its heat run a little more continuously. bring gloves to the RobeyTheatre.

America’s oldest continuously running movie theater, down the road from Feral Farm, is showing a CoenBrothers film! http://ping.fm/bWCje
leaving your laptop computer at home is like leaving your car in the garage. do you duct tape your mobile phone to the kitchen wall? #twech
a laptop on a desk is like a convertible with the top up: pricey, pointless, and probably less comfortable. (@MYKLbiz #twech)
why do people buy a laptop computer, then never take it off their desk? would you buy a $1000 gas range, then build a woodfire in the oven?
so much of my best thinking happens on the open road. #gypsy
over the past couple years, i’ve been building and assembling spokes, one or many at a time. thinking it’s time i resumed work on a hub.

sometimes, the price of a good Philly cheesesteak includes sitting in a boring neighborhood sports bar.
being an amateur watching an expert is boring; the ignorant eye cannot comprehend decades of experience.
Having spent the last few weeks in a house with satellite TV, we can only hope the endless “channels” of talentless entertainment, and dumbed-down edutainment, merely reflect what the networks choose and afford to produce, rather than representing the actual taste and demands of the viewing public.
Are you paying $60-100 a month for this “service”? You can do so much better by cutting that cord. Let’s all ditch our cable and satellite and fiber “TV” services. When we start doing this in droves, media companies will take notice. Then watch as more capable producers appear and aspire to fill our demand for better quality programming, cutting out the middle man and distributing media to customers more directly, via the internet!

if the battery in you laptop or other device expands and bloats out of shape, the maker should replace it, even out of warranty.
fixing yesterday’s mysterious problem by reformatting the hard drive, then restoring from the latest backup.
the Finder lists only 131 GB of files on the hard drive, but Get Info shows 241 GB of space used. what’s filling that extra 110 GB?
overnight, 100 GB of free hard drive space on my li’l MacBook Pro was reduced to 8 GB. trying to figure out what filled it, and how.

installed 8 gigabytes of shiny new RAM in my 13″ MacBook Pro. now testing it with MemTest.
the way i run a multitude of apps on my Mac, and leave many dozen tabs open in my browser, 4 GB of memory is not enough.
