Contributing to global climate change since 1965, Allen believes that you have a Constitutional right to his opinion. Or… we’re gonna third-party like it’s 1999.
Someone at Apple has a sense of humor. As seen in this technote:
So who are the first and second party?
Technically speaking, Apple is the “first party,” but that’s not really a common phrase. The second party usually refers to the product’s user—that would be you!
I’m a party to the [...]
I have become uncomfortably warm. I stepped outside with the dogs today and watched one of them burst into flames. It was terrible. The other one melted into the lawn.
I might have exaggerated just a bit there but, basically, it’s hecka hot outside. At least, it seems that way to this native Oregonian. I wouldn’t [...]
After the Googleplex encounter (actually it was a 404 - Site not found), I was redirected south through Bend and then finally to Reno. What happens in Reno… stays in Bend.

I left Beaverton on my motorcycle at about nine o’clock this morning not really knowing where it was I would be going today. I must confess I still don’t know but I’m having a good time nonetheless.
Frequent thompsonian*NET commenter Chris suggested that I head out to The Dalles, Oregon along the scenic Interstate [...]

The big news from yesterday is that Ben Roethlisberger, a quarterback for the Steelers, was riding his 2005 Suzuki Hayabusa sans helmet when he collided with a car coming the other direction.
I know what you’re thinking: “Is the bike okay?”
No, it’s totaled.
I should also point out that wearing a helmet when riding a motorcycle is [...]
A friend of ours recently “retired” from her management position at a small local college. I put “retired” in quotes because I just can’t imagine Judy actually slowing down for any length of time. She’s started her own editorial services company — McNally Editorial — and business is ripping right along. Judy knows how to [...]
Now that the “future” is here I have often wondered, “Where are the flying cars?”
That’s why I’m especially excited about my new hover bike.
There remain a few bugs to be worked out. For instance, my hoverbike stops hovering if I remove the 2×6 from under the engine block. But still… HoverBike!
