It’s been a while since I bagged on Christian music so I thought I’d take a moment now to to let everyone know that I still think Third Day sucks. I mean, they really, really suck. I was reminded of how I feel about this a few minutes ago when perusing the iTunes Music Store and thought I’d listen briefly to their latest offering. It’s crap. That is all.

Those of you who follow Apple events might recall that good ol’ Jobsy has used one of my guitar heroes a few times to close out his events. John Mayer is an unabashed Apple fanboy. He also happens to be pretty hilarious.

So, you know when you’re using an application on your computer and it crashes, you have the option to send an error report? Apple has the same thing. You can even add comments to your error report. Well, Johnny-Boy recently had a problem with his iTunes Media Player and took the opportunity to send his error report with comments.

Apparently it worked. He posted this follow up on his blog a couple days after the initial report:

So, uh, hey everyone? The report function works.

Turns out Apple really does read crash reports, and takes them seriously enough to have a department whose only objective is to log, group, prioritize and resolve bug issues. One of the technicians told me that in some cases they’ll ask a customer to send in their device while sending out a replacement immediately. And in the most extreme cases, they’ve been known to send a technician to a customer’s home.

Says the tech, “We take crash reports seriously on our side, because for us it’s just like being able to talk directly with the customer while the problem is happening. The information that we get from the automated system is perfect for helping us solve the problem, and obviously the customers comments can take it one step further.”

I found this all quite amusing.

It is my assessment that the vast majority of the Christmas lights in my neighborhood (with particular regard to my next door neighbor) aren’t really that good. There are a few gems…but not many.

Further, I assess that the lights on our house, while in need of some minor improvement, do not suck in any way. As a matter of fact (yes…fact), our house has the best light display on the block and possibly the best in our entire phase. Really…they are quite classy. Check out the pics.

…at keeping this site alive. I would be shocked and amazed if I still have any readers from how little I update this thing lately.

Whatever.

This video is effin’ hilarious. You should watch it.
