The Cheesecake is Rich

So, I went to my site yesterday and got a database error. Since I just renewed my hosting with DreamHost, I assumed I had messed that up in some way. DreamHost makes it super handy to look this stuff up, but nothing seemed awry. They also have a site called Dreamhoststatus.com where you can go [...]

(OK, fine, back to W-2s) Directly (!!!) from the Internal Revenue Service’s website: Why report tips to your employer? You must report tips to your employer so that: Your employer can withhold federal income tax and social security and Medicare taxes or railroad retirement tax (Right there! HA! In yo’ face, Tax Professional Ol’ Biddy!)

So, back in the day I had a Speak and Spell and a Speak and Math (or whatever the math version of the Speak and Spell was called*). I credit the Speak and Math with my ability to do simple math in my head. (I also credit my mother’s handy memory tricks such as “Refrigerator [...]

Maybe I’m just the biggest geek in Loser Town, but I am also VERY excited about this. I love, love, LOVE the original miniseries (both part 1 and part 2). Yea!

So, one of the days I was in KL, laineyd.com hit a new record for highest number of hits in a single day, beating the previous record on July 22 (I remember the date only because it’s Don Henley’s birthday and who can forget that? It’s like how my anniversary is the same as Bastille [...]

Free to good home, one MacBook. Answers to the name of “White Dog.” (No, not really, but I am writing this post in a valiant effort to not punt White Dog across the room. What is SO HARD about trying to change my desktop photo back to my picture of Blanche with my older nephew????) [...]

and boy, is Scooby ever pissed! So yeah, I went to Best Buy at lunch and bought a new plug in thingie. Oh, sweet relief. I’m up to a 27% charge and I haven’t been so happy all day. Ack. In other, scarier, news, WordPress has just informed me that WordPress 2.6 is now available. [...]

I love my Mac. I love that I can have two documents open at the same time and can scroll through either one, even the non-”dominant” one. Love it. I love that my mouse was a pain in the ass and all it took was 20 minutes at the Genius Bar for me to walk [...]
