Hillary Clinton won the Pennsylvania primary. America continues to astound me by not wanting to change. Why are people voting for a person who is derisive, malicious, and using fear as a motivator?

Morton’s Seattle vs. Morton’s Singapore
With the MVP Summit coming to an end earlier today, I found myself with some free time in the early evening. One activity I am fond of doing in Singapore is participating in the practice known as “Happy Hour.” Specifically at Morton’s. Morton’s is known as a steakhouse, however I don’t go there for dinner.

An ode to the Captain
Oh captain, my captain

An ode to the original flavor of Cap’N Crunch cereal, which they removed almost 3 [...]

Overlooked and underrated features in Leopard
Computerworld has an opinion piece on the Top 25 overlooked and underrated features in Leopard.

I didn’t know about the Mosaic screensaver. Guess I need to create some iPhoto libraries and check it out!
