Comments on Comments

I was just reading an article on Reuters that talks about how Apple Computer has filed for a patent for a new method of using a touch screen on a computer, presumably, it leverages the technology that they use in the iPhone and iPod Touch. Link

One of the comments to the article cracked me up in its sarcasm. Steven commented:

Any way they make the keyboard on the screen it won’t be comfortable, so that idea is pointless. Why doesn’t apple just shut down already, and leave microsoft to run everything like it should? The keyboard and mouse are awesome, don’t fix something that isn’t broken.

TP Breakthrough

I had a break through this weekend. I have been struggling to train all the members of my household to load the toilet paper correctly on a the dispenser. When ever I would see it loaded the wrong way :

The Wrong Way

The Wrong Way


I would correct it. At the same time I would be mildly irritated. This weekend, we have a house full of folks up at the cabin and have gone through a lot of paper. While meditating on the throne, came to the conclusion that if I simply let it go and not let it irritate me and don’t bother switching it – I would gain more inner peace. I have and I have.

(BTW, this is the correct way:)
