Well it only took me forty eight weeks to realize that I missed Livejournal. I wasn't keeping up with you guys and I wasn't keeping up with my own blog... I just kinda let it all slide nice and easy.
It's a brand new day. As such, I also have a brand new Livejournal account: macgeekbear
I've added most of you to my new friends list, if I missed any I'm sure you'll show back up and we'll get that remedied.
Since a few LJ users have written to me over the past couple months asking where I've been, I just want to post a reminder that my new blog is not on LiveJournal. My new website/blog/mediacast is at: http://web.mac.com/macgeekguy
Yay! It's about time. I've been screwing around with the new site... still don't have it all attached to the domain and all, but it's as good as it's going to get for awhile. So without further ado...
Alright, so I don't have time to get my blog in order before sharing this one... I figured its' pretty important to get the word spread. Those bastards.
"A newly declassified document gives a fascinating glimpse into the US military's plans for "information operations" - from psychological operations, to attacks on hostile computer networks."
It's been awhile since I checked in... so first a big howdy and a hug to everyone.
Second, I'm curious if you guys could make some suggestions for a good (and free) RSS reader for Windows. Seeing as how I'm stuck on a PC at work for most of the day... I need to see about finding a better program to view my feeds. To date I've been using Abilon... but my gut tells me there's probably something better out there... any suggestions?
Also on the subject of RSS... my new blog/site is coming along nicely. I was hoping to go live at the beginning of the year but wasn't really happy with what I had lined up on the first. Since then, the new iLife suite came out and let me just say... EVERYTHING that I wanted to do with my blog has now suddenly been made nearly effortless. So I'm hoping to go live on Feb. 1st. I will issue an announcement when I do. :)
Have a great one! Oh and if you have a suggestion for me - the PC RSS reader, I'd appreciate it!
I'm mostly leaving LiveJournal to start a new blog. URL to be posted. If you've got a fairly new install of Quicktime please feel free to check out my video farewell message. wwabbit doesn't like the camera angle... but it was tough enough to find the time and motivation to do this one! ;)
You know, being in a wonderfully healthy place in my life right now... it's funny when a song sneaks up and reminds you what a total schmuck you've been to yourself in the past. One did today... and it's as many of my song of the day quotes are, from Alanis Morissette... it's called Sorry To Myself. And yes, it's available on the iTunes Music Store if you feel like checking it out. :)
--- Sorry To Myself - Alanis Morissette
For hearing all my doubts so selectively and For continuing my numbing love endlessly For helping you and myself: not even considering For beating myself up and over-functioning To whom do I owe the biggest apology? No one's been crueler than I've been to me For letting you decide if I indeed was desirable For my self-love being so embarassingly conditional for denying myself to somehow make us compatible for trying to fit a rectangle into a hole To whom do I owe the biggest apology? No one's been crueler than I've been to me I'm sorry to myself My apologies begin here before everybody else I'm sorry to myself For treating me worse than I would anybody else For blaming myself for your unhappiness for my impatience when I was perfect where I was Ignoring all the signs that I was not ready, For expecting myself to be where you wanted me to be To whom do I owe the first apology? No one's been crueler than I've been to me And I'm sorry to myself My apologies begin here before everybody else I'm sorry to myself For treating me worse than I would anybody else Well, I wonder which crime is the biggest ? Forgetting you or forgetting myself... Had I heeded the wisdom of the latter I would've naturally loved the former For ignoring you: my highest voices For smiling when my strife was all too obvious For being so disassociated from my body, for not letting go when it would've been the kindest thing. To whom do I owe the biggest apology? No one's been crueler than I've been to me I'm sorry to myself My apologies begin here before everybody else I'm sorry to myself For treating me worse than I would anybody else I'm sorry to myself My apologies begin here before everybody else I'm sorry to myself For treating me worse than I would anybody else ---
Secret print code lets US secret service keep tabs

RESEARCHERS hired by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) say they were able to break a code hidden in tiny tracking dots that some colour laser printers secrete in every document they print.
