A while back Robert mentioned to me he was going to make the jump to Vonage, a Voice Over IP (VOIP) telephone service created to replace your actual phone company. I told him it all looked good, but to let me know what he thought after using it for a while. After about a month […]
These photos are amazing. They are before and after shots from where the Tsunami hit a couple of weeks ago. It’s amazing that there were even survivors. I can’t imagine how scary it would have been to see that wave coming and be able to do nothing about it. http://homepage.mac.com/demark/tsunami/9.html
Ok, so this past week we were back home to visit my family and my wife’s family for Christmas. When we left New Jersey, it was 50 degrees. When we landed at DFW, it was 20 degrees and once we got to Sherman, there was 3 inches of snow on the ground. That’s more than […]
Will comes through again with a very funny link with regards to punctuation: http://www.zefrank.com/punc/ Enjoy!
We have a roasty, toasty warm high of about 17 degrees today , which a wind chill somehwere around -2 (or lower, depending on the gusts). I’ve come to realize that maybe, just maybe, I should have worn my thermals to work. Those last couple of blocks to the train station were a bit chilly. […]
Well, it’s finally happened. Some snow fell for the first time this winter in NYC. I’m sure I will be sick of it by the end of the winter season. But hey, it’s kinda cool to live in a place where they seemed prepared for it. The question is: Am I? 🙂
So Will sent me a link this morning..and lo and behold, someone with time on their hands has reverse engineered the Google Suggest stuff. http://serversideguy.blogspot.com/2004/12/google-suggest-dissected.html
Google never ceases to amaze me. Try this version of their search engine: http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1 Then start typing a search and be amazed!
This has to be one of my favorite 404 error pages ever. Very closely followed by the SGI crying baby, for which I can not find a link to show. For those of you not familiar with a “404 Page”, it’s the term given to the page served by the webserver when it can’t find […]
Ok, so I just got hit with my first ever taste of comment spam. 76 bonus comments advertising online casinos. That was fun to delete, especially since WordPress’s page to do mass deletes doesn’t appear to work. I wonder where they linked to my blog from? Anyway, going to have to disable comments until I […]
Ok, this may sound crazy to some of you out there, but after only being in our apartment for 5 months, we’re changing apartments in our building. The offere was too good to pass up. An additional 230 sq.ft. for only $60 more a month. We’ll be adding a Den, an extra bathroom and upgrading […]
So I finally got around to seeing Team America: World Police. I laughed so hard I was in tears and my stomach hurt. Compared to South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut, Team America is a much better movie. The quality takes a bit of hit with it all being done with puppets, but at the […]
Airforce Harrier Falls Out of Sky Get out of the way!
ImageShack – Hosting :: feuerfreimovie.swf Enjoy Update….link is toast now. Sorry.
A friend of mine runs a fun comic site called ZooDotCom. Just a little plug for it here. It makes me laugh. Although I’m waiting on him and yet another friend to get Lil Monstas released, as that shows promise as well. But no pressure guys. 🙂
I went to high school with this guy…ugh…well, good for him. This is a link to his NFL Salary the past 4 years as the punter for the Indianapolis Colts. Hunter Smith I guess it’s good to see people from my small home town make it somewhat big.
Maggie and I have booked our “Home for the Holidays” flights. We’ll be back in Dallas around 10 AM Thursday Decemeber 23rd and fly back to NYC around 5 PM Thursday December 30th. Can’t wait to see everyone back home. Going to have to go eat at Pluckers!!!
This is sad. I live in a fairly large apartment complex and they gave out signs to those of us who would be handing out candy. I put my sign up and waited for kids to come by. I know there are lots in the building and I saw a lot of them at the […]
I went to a Postgresql seminar near Philadelphia today that was very fun. Not necessarily the Postgresql part ( although it was good and I learned some things I didn’t know ), but I got to meet some people there I had only met via message boards or IM. Let’s see, Robert Sfeir ( someone […]
After watching this short film, I don’t think I can look at Tetris the same way again. I just wonder if maybe it’s a trick of motion capture or if the guy is really playing that fast. Seems somewhat unbelievable.
