I got an email yesterday from someone who wrote (paraphrased):

“I read your top 10 list of best web editors, and it was interesting. I use ___ editor, and I was wondering if there was a better one than it available.”

Really?

The editor he mentioned was not on the list.

I honestly don’t know what to tell him. I mean, seriously, if his editor was not on the list (and it does qualify to be on that list – it’s free and it’s for Windows), then chances are, I believe that all ten editors on that list are better than the one he named.

The only thing I can think is that he doesn’t understand what a “Top 10” list is.

The phone is ringing.

The caller ID says it’s “Telemarketer.”

Should I answer?

What do you think?

Oooops, I accidentally decided to write this blog post before I answered. And now the phone says 1 missed call.

Too bad.

He can’t decide what he wants to watch today: “Rocky and Bullwinkle” or “Mythbusters.”

He watched an episode of Mythbusters where they tried to pop popcorn with a bomb and with a laser. And all Jaryth wanted to see was the house get “broke all to bits”. And the “big fire!” When they switched to the car driving really fast (Jamie testing if driving fast in rain with the top down will keep you drier), Jaryth wasn’t interested.

Then he started yelling “Rocket J. Squirrel! Rocket J. Squirrel!”

I guess the ultimate episode would be where they blew something up while Rocky flew overhead.

Jaryth is downstairs yelling “Emo! Cars! Emo! Cars!”

Mark replies “Which one? Nemo or Cars?”

“Emo! Cars! Emo! Cars!”

“You can only watch one at a time.”

“Emo! Cars! Emo! He’s gonna swim with Dory!”

In this instance “he” is Jaryth referring to himself. I guess he not only wants to watch “Emo” he wants to go swimming with Dory.

I got this mail series yesterday and today. It’s still not very informative…
