My resignation letter will be on your desk by the end of the day, Internet.
“I didn’t mean to confuse you,
and now I know that it’s hard to understand.
The birds and the bees are singing for me!”
I don’t worry about the Obey Giant.
What keeps me up at night is the The Places You Will Go Squirrel.
On the home fridge.
Also, sometimes I get annoyed with the way my refrigerator is organized and I endeavor to streamline my refrigerator experience by making small adjustments, or “tweaks,” to the placement of items within it. For instance, I drink a lot of carrot juice, so I want carrots to be readily accessible when I open the refrigerator door. I have discovered that a natural effect of frequently removing and replacing carrots in the refrigerator is that they tend to always be within easy reach! If Julie or one of the kids shoves them out of the way in order to store salad ingredients of a science experiment, I just find my carrots anyway! See? Systems!!
On the home screen.
These are the apps on the first of 5 screens of apps, between which I traverse when I need to find apps not located on whatever screen at which I happen to presently be looking. I tend to group apps based on which spots are available, and sometimes I move icons around a little bit when I’m pretending I don’t have a thousand more important matters to which to attend. Sometimes, I can’t find an app on any of my 5 screens of apps. Then I just forget about it. Systems!
It’s only been a month since Neven posted his Tomato-butter sauce recipe on Salt & Fat, and I’m already a hard-core addict. A devoted friend. An insatiable lover. Just look at it there, sprawled out on its back, smiling at me, beckoning. That’s right, you saucy little thing. You’ll be in my mouth soon. I can almost taste you from here.

So, this happened.
We’re absolute beginners, Jason and I are. We’ve recorded a few things together now, but I’m a horrible editor and friend, so none of it has made it beyond my studio walls. Plus I’ve been busy. What I’m saying is, we don’t want to promise too much more than we can deliver. But we’ll be airing last night’s calls (those I managed to record, at least) soon, and are looking into streaming as an alternative to relying on me to learn to edit in my nonexistent free time a way to preserve spontaneity and fun!
Our audio askhole can be reached at 412-368-5402. Put it in your phone. Call whenever you want. (You can also Skype us.) We’ll announce when we’re recording, and when we’re not recording, you can still leave messages and we’ll get back to you. Maybe it’ll be fun. Last night sure was.
If you guys are decent odds makers, I should feel pretty good about my chances with the whole to-do about the computer. The dude didn’t write me back after that last note, so I opened a case in eBay’s “Resolution Center,” where they promised me, “We’ve got you covered.”
So, fine. All’s well that ends the way I want it to, etc. But this leaves me with my original challenge: Finding an inexpensive, reliable iMac for my kids. My old first generation Powerbook Ti G4 couldn’t cut it. Makes me think I should get them a 17” Intel iMac like this one, but it’s more than I was hoping to spend. Moreover, I’ve never bought from this Gainsaver place and don’t want to waste more time on nonsense like what’s consumed today.
So, guys, where would you go if you were me?
