Help find musician Dec 1, 08, 2:01 p.m.

Can anyone tell me the name of that British guy who until maybe this summer, nobody knew his identity? Starts with a "B" I'm pretty sure. Electronic music I think.

This Jackass... Nov 28, 08, 12:10 p.m.

Anyone ever see this guy on Food Network? Why does he remind me of everything that uncool people did and thought was cool in 1998 (and still to this day I guess): bleached spiky hair, stupid sports sunglasses with colored lenses worn behind the neck indoors, giant diamond earring on a white guy, the goatee mustache combo that doesn't match the hair...

What is your prediction for final score? It's 28-3 in the 2nd right now

Office of Pres Elect Nov 25, 08, 3:57 p.m.

I am really amazed that this story even exists. I don't think at all that Obama is trying to say there's an official government office of the President Elect; I think it's simply referring to the place where he's speaking from, his "office." No different than saying the "bathroom" of the president elect, or the "house" of the president elect. So damn stupid.

President-elect Barack Obama is looking very presidential these days. When he makes an announcement, he is ringed by American flags and stands behind a lectern that has a very presidential-looking placard announcing "The Office of the President-Elect."

But the props are merely that. Under the Constitution, there is no such thing as the Office of the President-elect. Technically, Obama will not even become the president-elect until the Electoral College convenes after the second Wednesday in December and elects him based on the results of the Nov. 4 general election, as stated in the Constitution.

CSS/WPress - want to help? Nov 25, 08, 8:18 a.m.

I've been working on a new portfolio site and integrating my wordpress blog directly into the site's layout. I've run into some snags with the CSS in Wordpress, mainly in getting a single large background image to repeat consistently as the page grows longer. Works in IE, doesn't work in FF and Safari.

I've retooled a wordpress stylesheet before, using individual background images for the narrowcolumn, widecolumn, header, sidebar, etc. but this current layout is different.

If you're good with CSS and would like to have a look, shoot me an email. I'll do something to make it worth your while. I'm just at my wits end and want to get this figured out and finish up this site soon. Thanks!

Alarm Clock Usability Nov 24, 08, 11:10 a.m.

Have any of you ever replaced an alarm clock you had for years with a new one and just found it to be a nightmare?

I've had the same one since I was 18, and I'm almost 31 now. Replaced it last week with a new one with an ipod dock and all sorts of waterfall, beach, ambient tones for falling asleep.

And the one night I used it it was horrible. Big full display screen (as opposed to just the numbers lit up.) and even the dimmer was too bright. like having a stadium next to me.

Couldn't set both the radio for alarm 1 and the buzz for alarm 2 like my old one, and more than anything the button arrangement just made no sense. You don't put the power button anywhere near the snooze button!

Anyhow, this is a totally random thread but I'm curious if anyone else has had to get used to a new one. Such an afterthought of an item until you change it. I need to look for a new one now and this one is so good looking, but a bit too pricey:

free avi to iphone video? Nov 23, 08, 6:55 p.m.

I looked around with the filter but couldn't find anything.

Looking for the best free software for Mac to convert avi files to iphone video format - I guess that's mp4, right?

Any suggestions?

Gmail Question Nov 20, 08, 8:18 a.m.

So, I'm curious... Gmail has been around for at least two years now, right? Why does the logo still refer to it being a beta version?

Office 08 mac question Nov 14, 08, 3:21 p.m.

Can anyone tell me if files worked on or created in Office 2008 for Mac are compatible with Windows based Office 2003?

Please let me know ASAP if you know the answer. Mainly I need to know if I create a new Word file in 08 for Mac, will it open and work in Windows 2003 Word.

Much thanks!

Want to watch cat all day Nov 13, 08, 11:31 a.m.

I was talking to someone at work yesterday about what our pets do at home all day and how I think it'd be cool to have a time-lapse of my cat walking around and doing whatever she does. Exciting life, I know.

If I were to set something up to have a camera in my apartment and stream this to a web page, how would I do this? Are there services for this? Would it be free? Anyone done anything like this before?

Band Poster $ ? Nov 5, 08, 9:10 a.m.

Any of you guys do band posters as freelance work? I mostly do them for my band only, but got a request to do one for a band in California who saw my portfolio and posters.

For an unsigned band, would it be customary to give them a price, or let them offer whatever they can pay? I'm probably not too into their music based on their influences, but thought of a great concept, and, frankly, the exposure would be nice.

Thoughts?

Divert Yourself Now Nov 4, 08, 1:13 p.m.

If you could go anywhere in the world right now by yourself, pack your bags in 30 minutes and hop on a plane and be there by tomorrow morning with the one caveat being that you could only go by yourself and not meet anyone you know at that location, where would you go and why?

MBP Battery Problem Nov 2, 08, 1:06 p.m.

Lately I've been having a problem with my MBP when using it without it being plugged in. I'll be right in the middle of working, and it will just shut off and the screen will go black. But, when I plug it back in, it picks up where it left off - no lost work or shutdown programs.

I recharged it entirely today, and put on the percentage view next to the battery display in the top bar.

It shut off again, with 70% of the battery life left. This time it fully restarted when I plugged it back in.

Battery Health is showing to be 21% right now. Never seen it that low before, it's usually around the mid 90s.

Any ideas? This is an MBP that is the version previous to the refresh earlier this year.

Icebreaker Questions Oct 31, 08, 7:44 a.m.

I'm going to be at a party tonight with quite a few people I don't know. I always like to have a good, highly offensive joke or two in the chamber, ready to fire when the moment calls for it.

Just the same I love a good icebreaker question. Tonight, I think I'm going with "Do you believe in the Devil?" because nobody ever asks that. People instead ask (if the conversation goes there) "do you believe in God? are you a Christian?"

What's yours?

MS Outlook Notes Oct 27, 08, 11:35 a.m.

Boy, it's a real slap in the face that the default font for Notes in Outlook is Comic Sans. How am I supposed to take myself seriously?

Engaged!! Oct 11, 08, 2:54 p.m.

Hello friends - wanted to share the news that my girlfriend and I got engaged last Sunday here in Miami! We have been on vacation all week and just got back into Miami this morning after a really fun 5 day cruise to Turks and Caicos, Half Moon Cay Bahamas and Nassau.

I proposed on the beach on Sunday night after walking us around for half am hour trying to find a nice quiet place as the moon came out. She was completely surprised and it was a moment that I am still smiling about.

I/we have to thank Calles for the rest of the night. Though he didn't make it out, we went to the bar where we met him last year in south beach, called Purdy Lounge. We totally love this place! Great dj, danced like crazy, had a perfectly fun night.

Finally told my parents this morning after getting back into town, all very excited and asking too many questions already... They totally love my girlfriend and have been waiting for this as much as I have!

We are here in Miami until Monday and back home and back to work on Tuesday. I'll have pics up later this week!

Knowledge U Want Oct 4, 08, 9:14 p.m.

Curious to know what set of knowledge and/or ability you would like to learn that you're either lacking completely or are somewhat of a novice at.

Me, for example, when I watch Iron Chef, I get this huge desire to know even just a fraction if the average know how that cooks like that have, so I could almost effortlessy throw ingredients together and make something good.

I'd also like to learn how to screenprint.

What's on your list? No "anal" or "taking girls home without using roofies" or "getting away with murder."

Going on a Cruise Oct 3, 08, 11:58 a.m.

So my girlfriend and I are leaving from Miami on a cruise for 5 days Monday. Besides making sure to stick QBN stickers all over the place, what are some other things I should definitely look forward t0? Any secret compartments or passageways I should try and sneak into?

Never been on a cruise before. We're going to Turks & Caicos, an island in the Bahamas and Nasau. That is if we survive partyin' with Calles this weekend in Miami.

Any tips and such?
