Thoughts in My Head

Disappointed, Not Surprised

New York Times Ad-tracking-hypocrisy an article by John Gruber on Daring Fireball points out the hypocrisy of the New Times when it comes to ad tracking, altough he does point out we do not know for sure if the Times is doing location tracking. I have to admit I was not surprised by the hypocrisy. a little disappointed yes, surprised no. The thing that caught my eye was the mention that the ad tracking warning that the New York Times issues is at the bottom of each story, which is a little late in my eyes.

I made some Chocolate and Walnut Cookies this morning. I am much better at eating cookies than making them. I am not good at following directions precisely, I guess it’s the rebel in me

Christmas Questions for Those from Australia or New Zealand

If you live in the southern hemisphere, where Christmas falls at the begining of summer. I have a couple of questions that have popped into my head: First do you put up what we in the United States would call traditional Christmas Trees. Do you cut up paper into snow flakes and hang them in your window. Does your Santa Claus look like the traditional American Santa Claus. Do you have Santa Claus or something different like St Nick. Do you put fake snow around decorations you set on your tables.

This AM I decided I needed to try to organize my iOs shortcuts, because I have a lot. (I blame this on @rosemaryorchard, @macsparky and @vittici.) Because Apple in its all knowing wisdom doesn’t allow you to create folders, I am doing it by color. How do you organize shortcuts?

NY Giant Fan Cheering for the Eagles

I am a NY Giants fan and have been for 50 years, so in good times and bad. This year has definitely been bad. No bad is not the word, maybe awful, futile, aggravating, a disaster. The reason I became a Giants fan was because my brother was a Cowboy fan. Which lead to my decision on tonights MNF game, I am hoping the Eagles win, because I rather have them in the playoffs than the Cowboys. Actually no one in the NFC East deserves to be in the playoff, but one of them has to be.

I have to admit I have never been good at tagging. I either feel like I am not using enough tags or too many. However I did find this article on how tagging has changed interesting. Thanks @jeremycherfas for posting it.
