I have avoided myspace like the plague since it went live. I saw all the poorly designed pages with music playing and blinking crap everywhere. Nothing but teenagers whining about parents and curfew… A bloody nightmare! So I also stayed clear of all the other knock-offs that have come out since (Friendster, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc). […]

Ever wonder which countries don’t use the Metric system? There must be quite a few if the US still does, right? Think Again Three. That’s it. The US and three others. I remember when the US was considering it years ago but figured it would be too hard for the society to convert. Maybe it […]

I have a couple of accounts with Sharebuilder.com. I think they have a good, if not great service for the money. They have extremely low trade prices through their auto-invest feature and commission fees are low also. The thing that bugs me about them? Their website only works in Internet Explorer. Not Firefox, not Opera, […]

I have been named XMod MVP! This is quite the honor. I have been assisting with XMod and am big fan of this great DotNetNuke module pretty much since release. The XMod users are a great community to belong to. If you are a DNN user I highly recommend this module addition to your toolbox. […]

A federal judge in Los Angeles ruled that server computer’s RAM is a tangible document that can and must be turned over in a lawsuit. Yeah, I’ll let that sink in. Completely stupid, huh? Yeah, I thought so too. You mean to tell me that all the random garbage that goes through RAM (random access […]

Everyone complains about how expensive bottled water is and what a rip off it is.

As part of its stepped-up efforts against file-sharing on college campuses, the RIAA has begun filing lawsuits against college students who don’t take advantage of the group’s discounted settlement offer. A student at Boston University is fighting back, challenging the RIAA’s system of filing John Doe lawsuits in order to discover the names connected to […]

I admit it. I have turned into a Linux zealot. But not without good cause. You see, there was a time when I though Windows was great, same for the Mac. I still think the Mac is a great platform but it is becoming Windows little by little. I recently gave Vista the boot on […]

The big Corral Campout is this weekend. Usually I’m ready to roll for this event but I’m not sure that I will make it down this year. What it is, is a big appreciation event for all the customers of Corral RV (where I bought my camper). Since we lost a full week siding the […]

I am overjoyed to say that the Motorola Q I was using it long gone. On Saturday I stopped by Verizon and they hooked me up with a Blackberry 8830 World Edition for $100 less than I though I would pay. I haven’t looked back since. This thing is awesome. Video, audio, and picture support. […]
