Please excuse me while I nerd out a little bit on y’all. For the last few weeks, in what little spare time I actually have, I’ve been working on a new WordPress plugin. The plugin that I use to handle the private posts (you are registered, aren’t you?) is called Post Levels and it hasn’t been [...]
I whole-heartedly agree with this:
I’ve got to say, that although it would require dealing with OSX, which I have decided I don’t care much for, I would buy a MacBook Air if I could afford it. I know, it doesn’t have an optical drive. I realize it has a smallish hard drive. I am aware that the battery is [...]
Everyone realizes that there’s something of an early-adopter tax. Buying gadgets the day they come out costs a whole lot more than waiting. Look at the Razr. That thing was super expensive when it first came out, now it might as well grow on trees. Everyone has one. Typically this happens on the time frame of [...]
This… well… this is just amazing. Amazing in a “I can’t believe it” sort of way. It turns out that four layers of customer support at Verizon were not able to comprehend the difference between two-tenths of a dollar and two-tenths of a cent. Verizon fails at simple unit conversion, by the looks of things. [...]

A patent has been granted to a relatively unknown California Web-design firm for an invention its creator says covers the design and creation of most rich-media applications used over the Internet. The patent holder, Balthaser Online Inc., says it could [...]
More pictures were taken at our two practices this weekend… none of the ones from today were taken by me, but I thought I’d post a link to them anyway. Yesterday’s Practice Today’s Practice There are a lot of neat pictures in the group from today… like… Me getting owned by… someone taller than me and someone shorter [...]
In about an hour I’m supposed to hop in the car and head on down the road for Alabama. This would not be such a bad thing except that a few months ago I lost my MP3 player (I left it in a rental… big surprise that it was never “found”). Being unable to really [...]
Apple finally introduced a player at a spec and price-point that I can fully support: the iPod Nano — it’s a flash-based player that is very small and holds 2GB or 4GB of music. The 4GB runs $250 ($200 for the 2GB). I paid $150 for my 512MB iRiver — which plays OGG, but I’ve found [...]
One of the simultaneously amusing and irritating things about FARK is how many of the guys on there act a lot like the old roomie: highly critical of women’s looks while not really being all that fantastic themselves. Not that there’s anything inherently wrong with being critical but if you’re going to be adamant about [...]
