Bonds & Brackets

Can someone tell me why the President of the United States is on a late night talk show and talking about his final four picks this week?

I thought he would be working on the fucked up economy!

I guess he has to do something so we will remember him for something other than fucking up our country!

Hope he picks the final four and hits it big on www.sportsbook.com so he an retire and let someone else that knows what the fuck they are doing run the country!

Nice place for a hole!

My iMac started to go to sleep with no warning. It was very erratic and it was hard to nail down why. All I had to do was hit the shift key and it would come back to life, but it was annoying.

I did a few Google searches and was not having any luck and was ready to take it into the Apple store to get checked out. I don't mind paying to get something fixes, but I did not want to have them start swapping out parts until it worked again.

Then I stumbled across an article in how heat can cause the iMac to go to sleep. I looked in the system logs and there were error messages saying that the computer went to sleep due to hi temperatures.

I have vacuumed the vents across the top of the iMac before so I did that again, but what I did not know was that there is a 1.5" vent behind the pedestal. What a dumb place to hide a vent.





Once I did that everything has been going great. Keep those vents clean!

You want how much for that bottle of 2004 Jordan?

I was at McCormick & Schmick's on Saturday night and was looking down the list of wine prices and noticed a Jordan 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon.

They have had this wine for a number of years and the price of $178 seemed to be pretty high. Given that I have an iPhone, it was real easy to query for "Jordan 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon".


Now that pisses me off charging me four times the price I can buy the bottle for. I get it -- two times is fine, three times is fair, but four times is pretty steep.
