Why do they call it Menopause?

What, like its going to start up again?

The trouble with relatives

Here is another great reason never to get married, relative. Though my problems don’t really stem from my wife’s side of the family, they are kind of a side effect of marriage in the sense that there is a sort of simmering cold war at all times. And distance or time does not dull it, but that is a function of how a woman thinks more than anything else. They never fucking forget anything and each and every argument goes all the way back to the Big Bang!

I guess the ultimate issue is with me – I have to figure out a way to not let these people effect me so. I wish I could just fucking never see or have to deal with anyone any more. Like marriage, (extended) family should go the way of the dodo.

Anyway, certain of my relatives have a way of getting under my skin. And what’s worst is that they have a way of really getting under my wife’s skin and then she in turn takes it all out on me. Talk about being stuck between a rock and a hard place!!!

Also, these people love to make you feel guilty to the point that you ar apologetic about whatever good is happending to you. Its like you need to share everything with everyone.

Wall warts, memory standards and other rants

Okay, tell me this. In any sci-fi movie or any episode of Star Trek or any one of the Star Wars movies or even in Aliens, did anyone see a wall wart ie a power transformer? You know, the type which comes with almost every piece of electronic equipment and gadgetry. Any one? No right. And that is because we as a race are expected to have overcome this stupid limitation. Can’t they built a super micro one into the device. I know they can! Fuck it, let the Chinese have a crack at it – they can make anything! At lease, design them right, like the one that comes from Apple with the iPod. WTF!

And while we are on the subject, how about making them all universal. I know that its possible so don’t even try to make that excuse. I see a lot of even cheap crap that is rated 110-240.

Also, how about those auto power adapters. Why the fuck can’t they get rid of those stupid huge lighter adapters and start using a usb power adapter. Some manufacturers are adding usb ports, but by now you’ld think it would be universal. Most of the time that stupid cock-plug doesn’t fit tight or stay tight. Plus, if you need more ports, you are going to have an ugly mess. You could fit 3 or 4 usb ports in the same space. And a lot of shit charges from or is powered off usb now-a-days.

And Sony, stop fucking making up new memory standards. Get in the line, what makes you so special and all that!

And hats off to Motorola. After years of scamming the public with different-connectorts-for-each-new-phone, you have decided to begin to redeem yourself by making the Razr’s connection interface standard usb. All you others, fuck you!

iFoxPod.com

Is anything.com still considered to be hot and happening? Anyhoo, I think iPod is still hot and us computer types are still abuzzing about how great Firefox it and I personally like the FoxIt pdf reader way better than Acrobat. So if I put all that together, iFoxPod.com, its gotta be hot, right? I don’t know what its going to be, but it sounds cool. Eh?

I am done with Wireless crap

If I am ever tempted to buy any wireless keyboards or mice, just fucking hit me on the head with a hammer!

This crap is always overpriced and underperforms. Even the bloody $130 shit!

Geez you’ld think that by now we could make this shit work right. But I donno, maybe its me. I have noticed that electric and electronic stuff tends to crap out around me more than usual. Maybe I give off an extra high doze of personal aura juice!

Fuck it, I’m going back to wires. I should have taken that keyboard I had in the old office – the one with the 2 extra usb ports on the back – like the Apple keyboards. Now, for fucking $50 bucks a pop, why can’t they throw in a usb port or 2 on every wired keyboard.
