Wow, great point! No wonder McCain didn't have time to vet Palin. He had such a long short list.

Don't forget that everyone who lives on the borders of Canada and Mexico are also apparantly qualified because they are "next" to those countries like Alaska is "next" to Russia!!

So she has a grasp on profanity. That's actually much better to yell in public as a toddler. My three year old loved to climb to the top of play structures and yell the F bomb. So proud.

Her mind works in wonderful ways! To think of "Jesus" as the result of an emotion (basically an expletive) or situation rather than the son of god or even just a religious figure is absolutely fantastic in my book.
Kyah: Think Different.

Re: Apple’s Finally Talking about MobileMe

probstisms — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 14:08:14 -0000

I just have a quick update on this post. I don't know about anyone else out there, but I'm getting repeating entries for Apple's MobileMe update blog in Google Reader. Is it possible that Apple can't even get an RSS feed to work correctly? Come on, Apple. Seriously! Fix this thing now, or there will be no more annual renewal revenue from me.

Tim, I'm interested to hear what you've decided to do with MobileMe vs. Gmail. I just ordered an iPhone and am going to keep my Google Apps email for work, but I've been using Gmail at home. I can't sync my Google contacts with both accounts either, so that's difficult for me to handle properly. I already use MobileMe, so I'm not worried about the cost.

My biggest concerns are:
1. Spam: Google does an awesome job as insulating me from Spam. Mail.app is not so hot. I don't know if Apple can help me with the spam issue, but that would be a deal-breaker.

2. Importing: I have over a decade of mail, and in excess of a hundred thousand messages, many with attachments. I wonder how well I could move them from Gmail to Mobile Me.

3. Domain name. I use ###@#########.com as my email address and just redirect to where I happen to host it. When I want to send from the Web, I assume that it will retain ###@#########.com as the sender, but I want to be sure.

Have you made any decisions or tried this out?

Jon

Oh, don't you worry, Big D. I'll get back to the Cubbies enough times this summer and fall to make everyone sick.

You better take those panties off you just creamed because come October that will be all you'll have to show for this season.

Ha-ha! Big D, you're a funny guy.

Even in good ol' God's Country and Cardinals land of South county, Adler will be fed a healthy dose of Democratic and Cubs propaganda so he grows up just right.

I SEE A GOOD REPUBLICAN IN THOSE EYES.

Tim Probst — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 14:16:17 -0000

Oh, they haven't given up. It's just that most Cubs fans are a bit tipsy by the time the fourth inning rolls around. Come on man, you know that!

Re: Say It Ain’t So . . . Sam

Big D — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 15:08:48 -0000

Timmy P, you should be worried. It's not only the team that is bad but the fans are not any better. I stopped at a bar after work yesterday to catch a little of the game(you should be shocked by this because I can't stand the cubs). Got there it was in the fourth inning bar full of cubs jerseys and by that point of the game not a single person was paying any attention to it. Two games in and the fans have given up. It's gonna be a long season. Your better off catching my Dodgers on the late game.

Tim Probst — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 03:36:06 -0000

Very funny, Big D. Just because the Cubbies have started the season 0-2 doesn't mean all hope is lost. They do need to post a win here soon, though. I'm getting worried already. Come on Cubs! Let's not push this World Series drought into another century.

Re: “A More Perfect Union” by Barack Obama

Tim Probst — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 03:32:43 -0000

Hey, if giving a hopeful speech about our country can produce an increase in the DJIA, I say we need to get Barack in office as soon as possible. No need for a general election. Make the transition right now. I'm sure Dubya wouldn't mind sharing the Oval Office for the next 10 months.

How about Wrigley field at Dyson stadium, We Suck!

Re: “A More Perfect Union” by Barack Obama

Big D — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 23:52:45 -0000

Can't say I listened too much of this but if you watch the bottom of the screen the DJIA went up 22 points during the speech. This so far is the greatest single thing I've seen so far to support his candidacy. Why don't you talk about that Timmy!!!!!

Re: I Totally Need One of These!

Yeah, those squirrels drive me crazy. They dump all of the seed, and I end up having all sorts of flowers and wacky stuff growing on the lawn.

Re: I Totally Need One of These!

Big D — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 21:16:51 -0000

What are you a squirrel racists? Try safflower seed the squirrels don't touch that.

Re: Another New Look for Probstisms

I like the new look. I really like that the header images change. Feels much cleaner with the sides as well.
