From Towleroad and other places. On the bright side, this provides one more avenue for folks who are at risk of being fired for being gay to stay in the closet, and maybe endanger the blood supply, when the work-based blood drives come into their office and they are afraid to answer truthfully to the donation interrogtaion. Oh wait a minute, that’s not the bright side at all.

I think I sort of liked this particular take on the situation. Someone always wins in these situations.

Before there was the mall there was the ocean.

I will miss the Apprentice. I think the LA show really jumped the shark, when they added the bit about sleeping outside, and they lost Carolyn. It became a bit too sensationalistic then. At it’s core, though, I think Donald is a wise man and I was drawn to the lessons that business offers us in real life. There are very few environments where passion and focus is essential. I thought Donald was a good mentor, too. What will my next reality show of choice be? How about one for Apple fanatics? (not that I am one, just that I would be interested in watching a show about them)

I just love the Economist’s detached objectivity. Here’s what they said about Fox News in an article about the recent republican debate: “Meanwhile Fox News, which broadcast the debate, continued its tradition of balancing good-looking conservative pundits with liberals who look either weird or bearded.”

So I am trying out this Path Finder software thing. It’s a sort of Mac OS X Finder replacement, and in fact, it will replace the Finder if you tell it to. After all, the Finder is really just a program running on top of Mac OS X.

I have to say it does really improve the usability of the Mac. I suppose I really have not been owning the deficiencies of the Mac OS X finder. Well, there are some, like for example, the column view only sorts in alphabetic order. This is really really annoying. Path Finder allows you to change that. The other thing is that the Desktop becomes messy really quickly. Path Finder doesn’t let that happen. And by the way, I recently read that the Desktop in the Finder is basically a hack anyway, because the icons on there are really just cleverly presented windows that take up system resources.

My third gripe with the Finder is that it takes forever to search for files. Path Finder doesn’t have that problem. It would almost create a world where you didn’t have to file things. That would be wierd.

In any event, give it a whirl:

Welcome to Cocoatech

Bellevue city leaders said Tuesday they will provide the same employment benefits to partners of gay workers as they now provide to married employees. It looks like it’s not defensible in 2007 to tell the community, “we can’t afford to treat people equally.” I’m still not adding to that city’s tax base until the change is made, though. We wish them well, of course.
