Communist China

I like to eat fried chicken and dring Mountain Dew for lunch! So what?!!! This isn’t Communist China, is it?
Proud Patriot
Catawissa Man, e-mail

Yes, my friends, just another letter published by the rock of our local community, the Bloomsburg Press Enterprise.

You’re never going to burn again

I know I keep posting these. Let’s just say that the morning paper is often the best part of my day:

Hello Ralpho residents. It’s Monday, 10:30 at night and it’s pouring down rain. Those of us who like to burn, you’re never going to burn again. Your supervisors already decided to put a burning ban [...]

Holiday maintenacne

Yay being a college student, and yay coming home to dentist/doctor appointments, scheduled for whenever you get back from school. At least I didn’t have to get my tonsils out.
I’ve often regailed friends and family who don’t get the Press Enterprise (Bloomsburg’s local paper) with tales of “30 Seconds”, a column where you can phone [...]

Voting districts, or Orwellian scheme?

Being a simple-minded imbecile who got into Williams by accident, I deluded myself into thinking that it would only take me an hour or so to find out who I would be looking at on the ballot this fall in the hope that I could make an educated vote for County Controller of Beets or [...]

APIs

Camino, contact me when you’ll retrieve passwords from the Keychain. Maybe then I’ll go to the prom with you.
But seriously, this is one of the biggest problems when switching from one kind of application to another, whether browser, mail reader, RSS-whatchamacallit, etc. OS X is great because it centralizes saved passwords in a Keychain for [...]
