One of my favorite pieces of Web Zen: “The decent man is no longer one who lives within his own means. Nowadays he is one who lives, thankfully, within others’ means.”

TauFu (n.): The act of talking to one’s computer / pleading with it / re-opening a software at a later time / hitting the keys harder, as if that is going to change the outcome of the executed command. (And with something as unpredictable as Windows, it works). Also known as Reboot Voodoo.
“XYZ is almost certainly the best online photo management and sharing application…”
