Merging ReceiptWallet and DocumentWallet
After a bit of mental wrangling and taking some email to heart, I decided to merge ReceiptWallet and DocumentWallet. This means that ReceiptWallet can now open DocumentWallet libraries in addition to ReceiptWallet libraries. When you create a library, you choose for it to be a receipt or a document library. This now makes a lot more sense since multiple libraries can be open at once. The libraries still have a few things different (number stuff doesn't make sense in a pure document library).

Are political primaries the will of the people?
With the current heated race between Obama and Clinton, the inner workings of the primaries are becoming more public and being talked about in the paper and on the news. Prior to this year, I personally had no idea how the primaries worked. So, if you vote in the primary, your candidate may or may not be your party's candidate, even if he or she receives a majority of the popular vote. First off, the delegates (which is OK as it is supposed to be representative of the people) aren't required to vote for the people that they represented. Second, there are "super delegates" that can vote for whoever they want. These super delegates are random people (some important, some ordinary). Third, "the party" can make deals and put up whoever it wants ("the party" being the important people in the party). Fourth, "the party" can make up its own rules on who can vote. For instance, the Michigan and Florida Democratic primaries don't count because they were held before "the party" wanted them held.

SqueezeCenter and Apple TV Take 2
I decided to take the plunge today and install the Apple TV Take 2 update on my Apple TV and attempt to get the SqueezeBox software (now called SqueezeCenter) running on it. I previously had this running on Apple TV version 1.1, but I want the ability to rent movies, so I had to update my Apple TV and decided to install the new SqueezeCenter at the same time. Unfortunately this has been quite complicated. I almost have things working.

Humor in the fine print
I was surfing around and came upon Credit Karma via a link from SlickDeals. While I have no interest in the service, I was reading their FAQ and got a good laugh. In the FAQ titled "Is this safe?", they have as the last line:
