I like the Huffington Post, for the most part. There are some decent writers who post some informative things. I hate Deepak Chopra, because he’s a smug idiot who has exactly zero things to be smug about. He has a regular column at the Huffington Post, and I can’t understand why. I tried to post [...]

And I don’t like Vista much, either. I’m typing this in the one, on the other, to point out that IE hates the CSS for my page that every other browser seems to like. My right hand column comes after all of the blog body, not concurrent with it. Why other browsers handle it fine, [...]

Well, now I’m running Vista on my Macbook Pro. I’ve installed it 3 times tonight: I installed the 64-bit version, only to find that pretty much no 64-bit drivers exist for the MBP hardware.
