“Dethrone the dictaphone
Hit him in the funny bone
It’s where they expect it...”
– Blinded by the Light by Bruce Springsteen.
And I couldn’t agree more.
I Prefer
writing with either my fountain pen (Yes, I bought a fountain pen) or mechanical pencils. Everything else is a compromise.
Tell me the name of a song
colinweaver:
and I’ll write it. I’m taking a cue from motionsensorsoundtrack here, because it sounds fun. Basically, you come up with a name for a song — it can be goofy, angry, sad, happy, WHATEVER, and I’ll write a song to that name, trying to remain relevant. I’ll write and record it in 20 minutes. Probably will be funny/pathetic/whatever.

Jason: Hi, my name is Jason. Welcome to Apple!
Jason: How are you?
Me: Hi, my name is Jason too, actually.
Me: I have a question about custom configurations...
Me: Jason? You still there?
Me: Sorry, I mean YOU Jason, not ME Jason.
Jason: Of course. Waiting for the question!
Me: Oh, okay. Got worried.
Me: Is it possible to combine the MacBook Pro with a Mac mini?
Me: Take the guts out of the MBP, which is a faster machine, and cram them into a Mac mini case?
Me: And, if so, how much more would that cost?
Jason: No. This isn't offered.
Me: Hmm. What about putting the Mac Pro guts into the iMac case so it's sleeker and has a display?
Jason: No.
Me: Yeah, wow, I just realized how stupid that sounds.
Me: Sorry. I should have thought it out.
Jason: The products that are offered are on the site. No internal switching.
Me: Oh, wow, my phone is ringing and it's a friend of mine also named Jason!
Me: This is the day of Jasons!
Jason: I think it may be.
Me: Thanks for your help. I think I'll get a MacBook Air and then just put it inside an old G4 case for looks when people come over.
Jason: You're welcome.
Reblog: As a Jason I felt compelled to reblog.

I think that
Isn’t She Lovely by Stevie Wonder might be a guilty pleasure I don’t even know I have. Several times now I have found myself tapping my foot along for half the song before I realize what I am doing and can tell myself that I can’t stand this song.
BTW: You can bid on a Harmonica Played By Mr. Wonder In Concert.
