I did!! You are wearing jeans RIGHT NOW!

I'm getting used to a new computer, and getting used to a new OS. This means changing some very important defaults and boggling at the crazy people who seem to use their computers the wrong way.

Among OS X users, who doesn't have "tap to click" set? Like, you need to click the trackpad in order to click on an item onscreen? And, in terms of OS X Lion, I don't think I'm getting this right--why would I want optional or context sensitive toolbars? What are the different use cases for that? I don't understand what they're asking me to choose about, but I did seem to end up in a list box with lots and lots of items and no scroll bars at some point--am confuse.

Timelies all!

We had some thunderstorms here. Most of it was while I was at work(though I could tell it was raining because of a musty sort of smell that comes through the vents when that happens) though there was some impressive lightening and thunder as I was leaving work.

The district that, until May, I worked for is most definitely looking at state takeover.

Is that the thing where the governor appoints a Tsar to rule everything, ala Benton Harbor? Or something school-specific? Regardless, I'm sorry Em won't be able to get a good education there. It makes perfect sense that you'd move her some place where she can get a good education. Not buying Northern toilet paper because the Koch brothers own the company is one thing. Sacrificing your kid's future is quite another. I hope Em has no problem getting into the charter school you applied to.

It annoys the hell out of me when I use someone else’s computer, and it isn’t set.

I keep forgetting it's a setting, much less not a default one, and look like quite the idiot pushing (but not clicking) at the touchpad at the outset.

I don't. I couldn't tell you why, though. When I use someone else's computer that's set up that way I adjust pretty quickly and it's fine, but I don't want to make the change myself.

I was just browsing in the Gallaudet library. They've got two sets of stacks -- one for deaf-related books, and one for everything else. The fiction section of the deaf-related part was some books by deaf authors, and some with deaf characters. I couldn't figure out why Clan of the Cave Bear was there, though. No one in that book was deaf, right? It's been a long while since I read it.

It bugs me too when I use a friend's computer, as I keep on forgetting to click the trackpad. Tap to click is the way god intended.

-t, change the setting. You'll wonder how you lived without it.

Also, does everybody who uses iOS intentionally spell things without apostrophes (like I'll), knowing the autocorrect will fix it?
