  • Book: The Ten Word Game

    Jonathan Gash is the pen name of a doctor, John Grant. But he’s not known for his medicine. I’ve read all (I think) of the 23 Lovejoy crime novels, and The Ten Word Game from 2003 was a re-read.

    I’m trying to avoid returning to old favorites, but sometimes a comfortable read is worth it.

  • Movie: Margot at the Wedding

    Margot at the Wedding may have Nicole Kidman, but it’s not a movie I’d recommend. I don’t think a 70 at Metacritic is deserved. But it is short.

  • Safari 3 offers better cookie management

    I didn’t have any excitement about moving to Mac OS X 10.4.11, especially since Safari 3 was a required part of the update. I’m happy to say that Safari 3 has improved cookie management, nearly catching up with Firefox and Opera. I can finally search within the thousands of cookies and easily remove just the one or more I need to delete.

    Hey, it’s the simple things.
