What's old is new again: Tablet PC Vs. Laptop http://tinyurl.com/7qqd55o
Mother f-word. This “article” is so vague it could have been written 7 years ago. My gift of pattern recognition really is a curse with all these rehashed tablet vs. laptop arguments returning to haunt me.

My Creative USB sound card still rocks after 7 years
Last night, I ran optical audio from my Apple TV to my Windows Media PC through a Creative USB sound card (my PC lacks optical input) bought in 2005 for my Tablet PC. Still sounds great. So easy to Airplay music to my living room stereo now.

Jesus (Diaz) is a prophet. http://tinyurl.com/y9d3cfz - Read 2nd to last P
I pat myself on the back often enough for nailing predictions, so I thought I’d give someone else a shout-out. The clincher is in the 2nd to last paragraph where he gives a sequence of events that is currently being fulfilled. Truly insightful.

Post-PC does not mean the end of PCs. http://tinyurl.com/7rjrlvu
Honestly, am I the only person who researched what those at the top of the computing industry have actually said about “Post-PC” before spouting off about what “Post-PC” means?

Reminder: the "Post-PC" era was already defined by those who shaped it. http://tinyurl.com/7rjrlvu
I so don’t understand why people must constantly make up their own definition of “post-PC” when folks who actually helped shape the post-PC industry already defined it.

Never seen an Apple Store this empty
Those who are there are attending a class on iCloud. Read that on my Apple Store, which automatically showed me this store's info.

How did my fasting blood glucose (FBG) hit 114?
Answer: a dinner that included two servings of mashed potatoes, a glass of champagne, a frosted cupcake, coconut ice “cream”, and no greens. If you wondered why my glucose reading was so high, now you know – high-glycemic V-Day indulgence. If you thought 114 was low, read this book.

Damn, I used to be amazingly insightful.
Read the second half of this post from 2007. Tell me we’re not in the future I predicted.

Rock-paper-scissors-army-Hulk! http://youtu.be/bGt-saFvkNk
A variant of Jan Ken Po (i.e, Rock-Paper-Scissors), much like Rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock except the rules are simpler: Hulk is strongest one there is! That is all.

Finally got my dream music medly app thanks to @MyDJApp
Feel dumb for never finding this app before recently. First released in October 2009, a mere six months after I published this exact idea on Scribbles. But I have it now and it is a delight. New iOS 5 update is working like a champ.

Another prediction pans out. See comment #4. http://tinyurl.com/7mmvo28
Actually, I think of these more as observations than predictions, like Shawn Spencer. Anyway, my observation here, reality here. Thanks to commenter #4 on the former for the sweet bonus point.

A paper vs. digital argument? Party like it's 2005. http://tinyurl.com/7t8h7vh
It’s like every argument from the Tablet PC era is back again. Except with a tablet that people want to use. http://tinyurl.com/7t8h7vh

Streaming Straight No Chaser @SNCmusic concert at work via Remote Potato @fatattitude
Recorded concert on PBS last night using Windows 7 Media Center. Playing it back today on my iPhone via Remote Potato. Billy Jean/Poison is the greatest mash-up ever. Must remember to do this for more concerts.

Investing $55M in Carrier IQ seemed like a good idea at the time. http://tinyurl.com/5tgacjp
“[Carrier IQ] monitors network performance on the device itself, giving carriers data about exactly what customers are experiencing.” – VentureBeat, June 2010 – In fairness, I would have dropped a few mil on that too, and you can’t say they didn’t warn you.
What happens if you tell Siri you want to protest an abortion clinic? Results still "pro-life"? http://tinyurl.com/7v7ag9x
I don’t have an iPhone 4S to test this, but I’m guessing Siri’s inability to guide you to an abortion clinic isn’t based on what you intend to do there. Software isn’t politically biased. People are.

Ignorance breeds creativity. I have tables to prove it.
The proof is not in data in tables, but the data tables themselves created by people who don’t bother to learn how to do them right in Word or Excel. It’s amazing how many different lines and grids can compose one table.

Using images in lieu of text for contact info in an email sig should banned
Especially if you include a URL. Can’t click it. Can’t copy and paste it. Show the recipient some decency and type that s--- out. Forcing them to re-type it just sucks.

Quote from work: "He doesn't know how to use the word 'back'."
Working for an English-language medical journal, you’d think I would not have to explain such things, but I do. Often.
