No command-tab shortcut to move focus to next application in Mac OS X Screen Sharing

The shortcut I miss most when logging into a host via Apple OS X’s “Screen Sharing” is the ability to cycle through open applications with the click of two buttons (Command Tab).  Unfortunately, Apple doesn’t pass that or similar command-key combos onto the remote host.  What to do; especially once you’ve found that “Move focus [...]

Warning: 80% Chance of Dickishness

My sister-in-law suggested that my claim that Christians take glee in the damnation of others is a harsh and misleading.  She even apologized for their misconduct.  She didn’t need to apologize as her conduct alone is such a positive model for Christian ideals, but that’s another story.

Poison Me Elmo

Just got this in my email:
Consumer Reports testers just identified high levels of lead in a toy blood pressure cuff, part of a Fisher-Price kid’s “medical kit.”
…which is a fine example of irony, and one more item to be added to the laundry list of dangerous toys being recalled.  I think Fisher-Price is really [...]
