Multiple Monitors

by ·

Some commentary over at Infectious Greed about life with multiple monitors:

My main office setup has one Dell 2405 (a 24” LCD), and one “smaller” Dell panel that clocks in at around 19”. Funny thing is, as Jason is implicitly saying here, I keep wishing I had more screen real estate. Yes, people would make even more jokes about me playing air traffic controller in my spare time, but luxuriating in the glow of so many monitors feels … necessary.

I have two Dell 20″ monitors running into the Dell XPS desktop – they’re great, especially for gaming. The Powermac has the 23″ cinema screen along with the older 19″ studio display next to it. Love that too. The laptop, unfortunately, only has one screen.

I only wish I had multiple monitors at work.

Yup, the levees were bombed. I knew it! I KNEW IT!

On Tuesday, black Katrina survivors told Congress they felt racism played a major role in the government’s slow response to the storm, with some residents telling Congress they believe the government bombed the levees to intentionally breach them.

Ernie the Attorney feels the same way:

Yes, let’s send some more people to Washington like this. As Congress decides how much money to appropriate to a region that has been devasted by an epic storm (a region, which by the way includes the Gulf Coast of Mississippi), it’s always good to hear from New Orleans conspiracy theorists who have no shred of scientific evidence to back up their ludicrous claims.

For example, read the article that contains this quote: “I was on my front porch,” Diane Cole French said at the hearings. “I have witnesses that they bombed the walls of the levee.” And watch the video associated with the article.

As Forest Gump said, stupid is as stupid does.

And we wonder why things are taking so long in New Orleans.. now you know…
