Thoughts on Success

Success is born of passion and sired by persistence.

The genesis of success occurs in the womb of passion, wherein the seed is nurtured and brought forth into the world.

Success grows and develops over time, owing to the patient guidance and strength of persistence.

A remarkable feature of success is the ability to reproduce itself.

Drag and drop bugged: Apple Support Communities

Drag and drop bugged: Apple Support Communities: Apple has fixed most of the NVIDIA 9400M issues and other bugs that affected Air Display (and all other third-party video drivers) on certain machines. As of Mac OS X 10.7.3. The only remaining known issues are:

On 15" and 17" late-2008 through mid-2009 MacBook Pro models, drag-drop is broken unless you employ this workaround: After every Login or Restart, you will need to Sleep and Wake the computer.

Yesterday I restarted my laptop for the first time in... well, since my last system update... and found a perplexing drag and drop bug.

I was thinking, "Hey, WTF?!" for about 12 hours before searching for a solution this morning.

Strange bug, Apple.

Spring Break Breakfast

I saw Spike having a root beer float at 11:30 AM. So I told him, "That's not breakfast! Eat some healthy food."

Spike replied, "It's okay, I already had a doughnut." #TooMuchSugar

Raspberry Scone

I just uploaded a video of myself eating a raspberry scone and saw Greg Walloch talking about the way he feels when he's about to eat cake. This.

Church of Know No God.

I just started a new church here on the internet. It's called the Church of Know No God. If you already trademarked the name or whatever, sorry about that. I searched the internet and didn't find any matches for "Church of Know No God." so I call due diligence in my research.


The Church of Know No God is going to apply for tax-free status under the applicable provisions of Anchorage and Federal laws. I dunno what the heck that means, so I guess that requires more due diligence research for me.


I'll be following the tax law as it's written. Unless I need to write new laws to support my tax-free status. Churches apparently do that as part of their mission in Anchorage. It's true according to this statement by ADN.

In 2006, ... the Anchorage Baptist Temple lobbied the Alaska Legislature to change the law so more of its two-dozen-plus church-owned staff houses would be exempt from taxes ...

Thanks to ratfishtim for his enlightening comment on the tax benefits of becoming ordained. The Church of Know No God wouldn't be here without your incisive wit. I repost here for posterity:

Anyhow folks, this is the real deal. Church of Know No God will hold services on the internet. All you have to do is upload and link to to a video of yourself eating cake. Thanks.


The Church of Know No God will meet here in an effort to live tax free! And eat cake.


I got ordained for this and everything.
