Ten years in this format, kind of
After completing the really basic training on Apple’s Weblog solution that made its debut in Mac OS X 10.4 Server, I decided to give this a try. Since it was mid-2005 you could tell, Apple was late to the party because … Continue reading
This month’s theme is Pluto!
New Horizons will finally zoom by Pluto, get pictures and other data but I’m confident the whole planet debate will continue. As I’ve said before, I am with the ASU’s position of it is not. The loudest voices in the is camp … Continue reading

Something tied to 1990
June is often a tough month for me. I’m always late with graduation stuff which really takes place in May with the bulk of the US (d’oh!). I thought about weighing in my last Summer as a college student but … Continue reading
2005: Somara leaves for Phoenix
A very long and lonely Summer got rolling a decade ago. Technically, Somara headed out West a couple days before May began. I remember already missing her enormously as I tried to quietly weep in my cubicle the first Saturday … Continue reading
2005: We almost moved to Phoenix
What?!?! Yes, we were in the process of scouting out the city ten years ago and around my sixth anniversary as an Apple employee, we flew there to scout prospects for both of us. Why? Somara and I figured there … Continue reading
This month’s header is a tribute to Leonard Nimoy
I decided to go with a header like I’ve done for Superman, Batman, 1989 and William Shatner. Not necessarily as a tribute to his passing but March 26 would’ve been his 84th birthday. It’s nice to see all the outpouring … Continue reading
It’s the one-year anniversary of The Lego Movie
In honor of the Academy snubbing this movie for even a nomination in animation, I decided to go with showing my support. Truthfully, most Oscar® winning movies suck. They tend to be pretentious, boring and were only released within a … Continue reading
A slight change on the site with Comments
My friend Jeremy was an enormous help with the migration but the cause of the past server’s issues were probably driven by spammers and how the site was organized. Thanks to his WP Fu, the posts were organized more logically … Continue reading
Celebrating the move and return, the 500 comments contest
I don’t miss the spammers flooding my site with their worthless “comments” for Ugg boots, pyramid schemes and celebration gossip but I did miss the opportunity of receiving a peep from a friend on a story. So to celebrate, I’m … Continue reading

Notice anything? No? Good!
Maggi Picayune has moved! From the Mac Mini in my living room to a real hosting solution which should have a much, much, more reliable uptime level than what the Mini had been doing for the last couple years. I wish … Continue reading

Updates for Maggi Picayune
The big change coming up which you probably won’t notice much its hosting being moved. After nearly a decade, I’m just moving the site to be hosted somewhere more reliable. I just don’t have the time to find out why … Continue reading

Happy New Year?
And so the calendar turns over to another year and I got to be ill physically and mentally again for it. Rather annoying too. I plan to move up my appointment with the doc since there have been some rather … Continue reading
Finally returned and here comes the blitz
Miss me? Probably not because you’re most likely swamped with the “joy” of the season. Christmas in 11 days, Hanukkah in two and Festivus in nine, don’t even get me started about Kwanza. I really, really wanted to write but even … Continue reading
Band Aid 1984 is the header since it’s the anniversary
Bob Geldof has reunited with the other egomaniac Bono to do yet another update to Band Aid. The song remains touching, it does have a touch of sadness but then again, anyone with half a brain knows the reality of … Continue reading
