garmin sucks

you'd think i'd have learned from the nightmare of the five and counting forerunner405 gps watches i've endured but no, i bought another garmin product. an edge500 bike computer.

took it for a ride this morning. this is the result.

this evening, i went to reset its defaults—why auto-laps are on is something only the fuckwit designers at garmin can explain. i was prompted to update its firmware. should have known better but okay. downloaded their webupdater. followed the instructions, disconnecting the device when prompted.

it bricked.

brand-fucking-new and it's bricked.

apple fun

i've got a brand new macbook air, yes? apple includes its ilife app suite with new machines. okay fine, don't use 'em, but okay.

started up the app store cuz i wanted to install some apps i already bought.

it prompted me to update the ilife apps. okay fine, tried that. it says it can't update them because i have to purchase them.

eh?

called apple support and was told, yeah, i have to purchase them (again) to update them.

dragged the apps into the trash. app store no longer prompts me to update them.

unimpressive example of apple's droids thinking outside of the box. sorta like when the damned moggy does the same ....

switch parties

as he's essentially repuglicant lite, the wonder boy prez should just switch parties. that'd cure the tribalism that otherwise forgives all his bush/cheney transgressions ...

plus the faux snooze party could embrace him as their very own as other than party affiliation, he is.

so progressive ....

apparently calvinball is popular in chicago. and by strange coincidence, isn't that where the wonder boy prez comes from? no wait, it's kenya, innit?

bad ideas

“and worse politicians”

got that one right ....

primary challenge

any progressive with a semi-functioning brain ain't going to vote for the new herb hoover so a viable candidate to replace mr hopey/changey is urgently required ....

celebrate

independence day needs some santorum; the eponymous politician deserves no better for being such a smarmy bible-thumping puke.

mammy!

herbert hoover returns in blackface for your repuglicant entertainment. and just how is that hopey/changey thing going for y'all?
of course grampa grumpy and his squeaky-voiced sidekick, the crazy lady from alaska, would have been even worse, but .....

proud to be an american!

boy howdy!
greatest country in the fucking world and if you don't believe it we'll torture you until you do, muthafucka ...
