Amie Street Wednesday (A day late, but not a dollar short!)

Taking a cue from Gruntled and MouseClone (is he related to Danger Mouse?) I’ve started the Amie Street Wednesday Recomendation. Of course, I’m a day late, but I think you’ll like the rec. Meghan Roberts is an acoustic wonderland for your ears. The lyrics are fun and the tunes good. Just listen to it, you’ll [...]

Dancing with the Stars!

We like watching Dancing with the Stars. I can’t explain why, but recently out of all the reality shows (is it me or have survivor and American Idol outlived their time) its one of the most fun to watch (unless ABC brings back Celebrity Mole!!!). They announced today who the next series of stars would [...]

ScribeFire!

On the recommendation of a friend I’m trying out Scribefire. Its a firefox extension that allows posting to a blog from the browser itself without having to log in. Its coo, but as this is the first post from it, we have a lot to try out before we render a final verdict. Powered by [...]

Hey Mon!

Ever come across a website only to slap yourself on the forehead and go “If I only had known about this site sooner?” I have. Several times lately. Most recently when I came across an awesome guide to the Caribbean. Amy and I love the Caribbean. We honeymooned in Jamaica. We took a cruise earlier [...]

Get In Ma Belly!!

Its disturbing that people know about this show and I don’t. I think whats more disturbing is that this show as allowed to be made and no one stopped it. Yo Gabba Gabba apparently comes on Nick Jr (Which means that G and E could be watching it with out me knowing!!) and its um, [...]

In need of Rehab

I was driving back to work today from lunch (its nice living 10 minutes from the office…) and I passed one of the high schools as a group of seniors was leaving for the day on early dismissal. As I watched five or so cars pull out of the school parking lot I noticed that [...]

Place of Polling

Alrighty now! I added a polling plugin to the fold and now I will occasionally toss a poll in to the mix. There will usually be one on the side bar and you can always access them via the pages at the top (see the link that says poll archive?). For the first one, i [...]

Grease fire?

I had another title for this, based on a song, from a band whose name I won’t mention, “Let the MF Burn!” but I thought this was more appropriate. This is an image from space yo, of the fires in Greece. If you click on the image you can see red outlines of the areas [...]

Got the Time?

When my grandfather passed away two years ago I inherited an atomic clock and I thought little about it. I hung it on the wall in what is destined to become my work room (when i finally get around to finishing it). From what I knew of it, it updates itself automagically and I don’t [...]

DO OVER!!

If only life gave us all do overs. Ms. Teen SC was on the Today show today, talking about how stupid she looked and offering up a slew of excuses (first time on TV, nervous, etc…) on why she totally choked on that answer. They also gave her a chance to give a proper answer… [...]

Well, except stop in and [...]

Parts is parts?

Occasionally in the jobs I’ve had (as well as the tinkering I do at home) I have to purchase parts. Replacement parts, new parts, spare parts and sometimes just parts. I recently came across a good source for cheap CPUs, Census PC. An online retailer, Census PC has it all (including a really, really cool [...]

Mondays…

Today is Monday. All. Day. Long. And you can tell. It got started off well at home with tensions a little higher than normal due to the G’s start of school today, the work in the kitchen and general morning crabbiness. The day was going ok until one of the production servers (the main production [...]

The Future of America?

Apparently, the Miss Teen USA pageant was held this past weekend. Some of the contestants were undoubtedly attractive but they were a few sandwhiches short of a picnic. Like Miss Teen South Carolina for instance… If you want to read what she said (it hurts just as much to read it as it does to [...]

At the moment there is not a crm software (Customer Relationship Management) product in place, however it might not be a bad idea. The CRM software allows the sales force to track leads [...]

Permalink Redirect

Hell yea baby! I wanted to change my permalinks in wordpress from index.php/archive/postid to /date/posttitle. The problem was that if I just changed it flat out, I’d loose any backlinks (linked to on other sites, forums and wherever) but then I came across Permalink-Redirect. A kick ass wordpress plugin that allows you to input your [...]

anchorwoman pulled after one Ep.

Not that I watched it, but Anchorwoman (fox’s new reality show) was pulled after one episode. Guess not too many people wanted to watch as a model went from the runway to the news desk… apparently, it had one of the lowest ratings ever. EVER.
