Anyone find it funny that they show off the dual-monitor ability of the Mac Mini using a picture of two Dell monitors? It’s like they’re saying “We know you’re not going to buy two of our Cinema monitors for this thing, so we’re not even going to try…”
Probably has to do with the fact that Apple isn’t really hip on promoting anything but their 24-inch LED Cinema Display anymore, and the Mac mini can’t power two of those since it only has one Mini Displayport port.
I forgot I had this photo from a media shoot Cedar Point did back in 2003. They’ve used this (and other photos of us on this train) in lots of various materials over the years. See if you can find me on the train.
Haha, looks like this was before Cedar Fair loosened up and actually allowed people to raise their hands for media materials.

Please reblog this to help strike a blow against pediatric cancer. I will post on Sunday exactly how much I’ve raised by doing this!
On September 14, 2009, Intuit announced that it would purchase Mint.com, a personal-finance tool with a great reputation among its users. Not having much faith in Intuit, I cancelled my Mint account promptly. Whenever I cancel any service like this, I attempt to log back in, just to make sure I’m really out; Mint wouldn’t let me back in. And, I got a confirmation email.
Class act so far. Then yesterday, I got an SMS alert warning me about my budget. It took me a second to understand what this was.
Holy crap, I thought. Not only am I still a Mint user, they’re still checking my accounts.
I tried logging in again. No problem! My bank accounts were still in and up to date. So I deleted my account… again.
Some observations:
- It’s funny to blame Intuit for this, but it sure looks like a pre-Intuit Mint bug.
- And I do believe it’s a bug, not a deliberate policy of never actually deleting accounts, because that would be completely insane.
- Many of you will laugh at me for ever giving a company like Mint my financial info. Mint provided a useful and convenient service for me; unless you live totally off the grid, we’re just debating how much personal info to trade for what functionality.
- I have since switched to Yodlee MoneyCenter; it’s similar to Mint, except dorkier.
That’s terrible! Try using Geezeo.com. Great tool and we definitely delete your data if you delete your account. ;)
