I’ve never been really big on video games. I haven’t played very many video games, but I do admit that the video games I did play were a lot of fun. However, after playing them, I never felt that they added any value to my life. What I never understood was how anyone could keep plugging coins into those machines durning lunch hour when you could stand and watch the cool graphics for free while other people play (and pay).
I just finished validating my first EPUB file. It’s a short four page (not counting the title page) eBook to help me when I go to Eucharistic Adoration.
I’ve got big plans for future EPUB projects. This was just a learning exercise that has a very useful purpose: it will help me remember the Divine Praises and the melody to O Salutaris.
On February 13, 2011, guardian.co.uk ran a story with the headline: Gay rights groups attack iPhone confession app for Roman Catholics. Group claims app fosters ‘anti-gay spiritual abuse’ as it shoots up list of popular downloads. The following is from that story:
I’ve been running Mac OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard for 10 days, and I’m really looking forward to OS X 10.6.2. I’ve noticed a couple of bug fixes since OS X 10.5 and there have been a few nice user interface changes; however, the bugs that have been introduced in this ‘upgrade’ are very disappointing, and, I’m sure, very embarrassing for Apple. As well, I had to do a lot of work to get everything working the way I like it once again.
Suddenly, everything clicks. And swipes. And scrolls. And exposes you to more electromagnetic pollution.
Introducing Magic Mouse. The world’s first Multi-Touch mouse.
Now included with every new iMac. And only available as wireless.
It looks really cool, and I’d like to try it, but I’m not about to expose my body to anymore electromagnetic pollution than I have to, and you should be as concerned as I am about the dangers of electromagnetic pollution. Voice your concern to Apple. If we get them to put a cord on this mouse, maybe we can get them to put a dirty electricity filter on their computers.
Remember the last few years leading up to the year 2000? Everyone was talking and worrying about the Y2K bug. I was quite confident back then, and still firmly believe today (although I haven’t looked for actual proof), that a lot of computer programmers made a lot of money by not doing much of anything. I doubt that there were more than a small number of Y2K bugs, and that they were very easily fixed or had negligible impact on business .
