Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Yes, I can definitely do that -- but it's a click on, not a mouseover, which is what the rule stipulated.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Erin, when I mouseover the pictures now, I get the information popping up: Name (Party) State. This is not a thing I know about, but it seems to be working.

Ok, let me tinker with one, and report back.

YESSSS!!!! Now, hopefully, the title will let me add more than a line to two.

Uh, anyone wanna help me look for scandals for senators? Email is good. [link]

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

iTunes question - there's a daily podcast I listen to. A couple of weeks ago, I synced without downloading it and then shut down my computer, so I just downloaded it directly to my phone instead. Now that episode won't go away even though I have iTunes set up to remove podcasts once they've been listened to.

Any way to manually remove this one episode? It doesn't show up in iTunes at all, and I can't see an obvious "delete" button anywhere on my iPhone.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

You can delete it using the swipe-right gesture.

Can you just remove it, unsubscribe, then resubscribe to the feed?

FWIW, I like instacast for my iphone and ipad (not universal unfortunately). After instacast, I don't even use itunes anymore for podcasts.

AHA! Thank you, that worked perfectly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Okay, I have a panicky Cyber Monday question. Which brands are decent?

  • Lenovo
  • ASUS
  • HP
  • Not getting Dell, never mind
  • Toshiba
  • Sony
  • Acer

Just trying to winnow down a list before I start deep diving for my sister's replacement laptop *today*. Good god, the pressure.
