On Twitter tonight, John Gruber asked the (facetious) question:
I responded that while perhaps not my favorite, it would probably be in my top 10. I realize, though, that I say that a lot. I toss a great number of wonderful movies into my top 10 willy-nilly, but I’m not sure I’ve ever decided to […]

I thought I could fix you

XLR Pin 2 = TRS Tip (red)
XLR Pin 3 = TRS Ring (black)
I’ve been thinking for quite a while now that, while I continue to aspire to accomplishments that I feel I am perfectly capable of, as of late I have:
I have since come to the conclusion that this is my own damn fault.
Shocking, I know.
The problems I have realized which keep me from […]
