Thanks to some awesome work from my partner in crime at Cricketsoft, Tom Allen, our co-developed app, FotoMovr is featured in the Windows Phone Marketplace today. Both on the phone, the Marketplace website, and in the Zune client. Here’s some evidence...
From the Whole Earth Catalog October 1974, actually titled “Whole Earth Epilog”, Page 324. Founded by Stewart Brand. Mentioned by Steve Jobs in his commencement address at Stanford University in 2005. Read More...
Only a little vanity post; a collection of links to stories and other potentially interesting tidbits. These were some of the first mentions of the HP TouchSmart 310 with HP TouchSmart 4.0 software, unveiled on September 20, 2010. Most of these have no...
I’ll be honest, this guy really grates on my nerves. Although my domains are registered with GoDaddy, I don’t even really like the company. I think their site is disgustingly bloated. The upsell is worse than a car dealership. And the *** and ass marketing...
I am not much of a religious person. I went to catholic school from Kindergarten through 10th grade (and plan on sending my son), all of my grandparents were religious, and my aunt is a Franciscan nun.
Having said that, I came across this moving piece...
A while ago (around December 3, 2009) this blog passed the 100,000 views mark. A milestone for any blog, so I thought I’d show you some of the stats from around that time: Proof that it happened. 100024 views. Daily stats leading up to 100000 views...
Just in case you’re wondering (yeah, I know, you probably AREN’T) what you’re missing by buying a new PC (such as the HP TouchSmart 600xt – hint, hint ) with Windows 7 preinstalled, here are some pictures of a Windows 7 upgrade DVD that recently showed...
Sorry about the bad scan quality (it’s from today’s newspaper – yes, dead trees, and yes, I still read newspapers). It says:
80% of Toyotas sold in the last 20 years are still on the road today. Is it any wonder that it’s hard to make any kind of change...
I’m working on switching this blog over to the Disqus commenting system . I have it in place for commenting now, but still need to find a way to export all the old comments and import them into Disqus so I can keep the legacy discussions alive. Read More...
You may never have heard of ACCU, the Association of C and C++ Users as it was originally called. It is a volunteer organization, consisting of programmers who care about programming. The ACCU publishes two magazines, both devoted to raising the standards...
In case you’re wondering why this blog has been unavailable the last couple of days: My domain seems to get hit excessively by a couple of IP addresses belonging to Microsoft (mainly). I don’t know why or how, but my host (Dreamhost) has decided...
A recent neighborhood sunset. Points for anyone who can guess where this was taken. Looks different when posted using Windows Live Writer. Wonder why that is? Read More...
In case you’ve seen my Windows 7 Theme Pack, here are the pictures that are in it. You may want to know if they’re worth it before you download the 12+ MB of .themepack file.

Looks like my hosting company decided to move my blog from a 32 bit OS to a 64 bit OS, breaking the PHP CGI in the process. Thus, my blog was offline for around 20 hours or so (rough guess).
Support claimed I had a “custom” PHP install, which...
