D Magazine is going after a blog for using the name FrontBurner, which it trademarked for its own joke of a blog.

I can't imagine anyone would ever confuse D's mindless drivel with something… I don't know… interesting, so…where's the harm?

Vacation,

VACATION - Because one week of the year can make the other fifty-one seem tolerable.

If you love kids and digital cameras, but cringe at the thought of your kids handling your camera…have I got a deal for you.
I'm selling my Canon PowerShot A10 (unbiased review here), which is actually a great little digital camera. It's easy to use, takes decent pictures, and uses four AA batteries - so you never have to worry about finding replacement batteries when you're on vacation!!

Anyway, if you're looking for a decent point & shoot camera, check out my Canon PowerShot A10 on eBay.

I rarely use Dashboard in OS X, so I hunted around to find out how to turn the Dashboard off in OSX:

To turn Dashboard off:
# defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES

To turn Dashboard on:
# defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean NO

You have to restart the Dock after making either change for it to take effect:
# killall Dock

I've been fighting off a tickle in my throat for a few days - lots of water, vitamins, and Airborne. It caught up with me last night and I made a 6am run to Walgreens this morning. Yuck.
