Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Vatican Bans IOS Confession App

"Despite all the hype that a lowly priest had approved the new confessional app hitting the app store, the truth has now revealed itself. According to today's Daily Mail, a spokesman for the Vatican, Federico Lombardi said: 'It is essential to understand that the rites of penance require a personal dialogue between penitents and their confessor. It cannot be replaced by a computer application. I must stress to avoid all ambiguity, under no circumstance is it possible to confess by iPhone."

I don't like the idea of my music being only on a computer drive, I want a CD as backup.

That's why I love my Time Capsule - it does automatic backups of my Mac laptops when I'm home. But it just occurred to me - I should probably have some offsite backup as well, in case my apartment burns down or something.

Be careful what you wish for. The Vice President, Omar Suleiman, might be an even worse dictator that Mubarak.

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

A vendor has to make changes to their web application so we can test our newest integration. They promised to do this Monday, Tuesday, and yesterday. Nothing. My boss is increasedly pissed at the slipping of the deadline, and it's all my fault because I'm managing the project. I don't even know.

I love that it has wheels. I want one that's motorized, so it could wander the streets randomly while I sleep....
