…despite the peer pressure.

Damn, I wish I’d written this - it exactly sums up why I still use Windows and will for the foreseeable future.

But really, when it comes down to it, the main reason I still use Windows is this: I’m stubborn and lazy.

And why I don’t use a Mac and probably never will:

Oh, look at me! I do graphic design! I wear woman’s jeans and hang out in coffee shops! I’m a DJ! Well good for you. My computer is not a fashion statement. It’s a computer

Which is incredibly timely as I was just talking with Mike and he could hardly contain his Prius driver like smugness as he related to me how he gave up on Windows and now is working on two Macs. Meh. Kool-Aid drinker.

Made the jump to Firefox 3 - I was hesitant to upgrade until I was sure my add-ons would be compatible.
Well, they are. Listed below and all work just fine.

• Adblock Plus
• Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer
• Gmail notifier
• Gmail Space
• Google Toolbar
• NoScript
• PDF Download
• PicLens
• Picnik

All working like a charm.

… and learning roller-coasters; ok I *think* WordPress can do everything I want it to do.
Now I just have to get it configured - end even with my very good friend, the internet, this may take some time.

Snarky comments about technology leaving old men like me in the dust are not appreciated.

And get off my lawn.

I tried, I really did.
I finished the site redesign, did a whole 3 column CSS layout, Photoshopped a new header picture, loaded a open source portable image editor and HTML editor on an encrypted thumbdrive and promised I’d post and update on a regular basis.
But I fold. Real life is really time consuming. So I’ve decided to make life easier for myself. WordPress away.
Let’s see what I can do with this.

…things like the war, addressing the economic situation, crime and all the assorted other concerns of the public, it’s nice to see them start into the real issues.

Like regulating how loud television commercials should be.

Way to go guys. Good use of time and public funds.

Nice post about deconstructing the original cover photo for Grace Jones album Island Life - one of my favorite seminal New Wave album covers. Linky.
