Is it really random or is there a pattern here?

Oregon Trail Goodness

Oregon Trail is one of my favorite games of all times. As I was watching RocketBoom on Monday (brought to me by my TiVo), I had to laugh when I saw Amanda’s shirt “You have died of dysentery” because I absolutely loved it. As a die hard fan, who still plugs in my Apple IIgs […]

Fusion Radio Chicago

I like to listen to music all day long while working because it helps me get into a good groove. I have recently discovered a new internet radio station: Fusion Radio Chicago which helps during the mundane coding. If you like dance/electronica music give it a shot!

State of the Blogosphere

Technorati recently posted the “State of the Blogosphere” which shows the growth rate of blogs over the past three years. Technorati’s research showed that there is now, on average, a blog created every second of every day and the blogsphere is doubling every six months! Lots of interesting tidbits, so if blogging interests you, take […]

Moxie and Tax Day

Well, as 2005 is my first year as a small business owner, I am learning something new everyday. On Monday, I learned the importance of having a really good accountant, as he called me and gave me a heads up on the fact that my 2005 taxes were due today. Thankfully he prepared an extension […]

Video Blogs

Yeah, I am late to post about video blogs, but hopefully this will be news for some ;). I have been watching Rocketboom for a little over a month now and love it (today it went high def!). Not only do I watch it…my TiVo downloads it and has it ready for me every night […]

Yum, TiVO Updates!

After turning on my TiVo this afternoon I noticed some awesome changes. I now have access to Yahoo! Photos, Yahoo! Weather, Yahoo! Traffic, Live 365 Radio Network, Fandango, Podcasts, and games. I am excited to try out the scrabble 😉 Nice work TiVo. If nothing else, I am excited about the traffic and weather options. […]

Diet Coke v. Coke Zero

As a recent convert to diet pop (yes, pop not soda), I recently learned about the difference between diet coke and coke zero. Surprisingly enough (well to me at least) I learned that Diet Coke is based on the New Coke recipe whereas Coke Zero is based off of the Classic Coke recipe. Makes you […]

Cool Findings

Over the past few weeks, I have found a number of really cool things that I wanted to note. Find images visually with Retrievr. Google Analytics. Most people have access to web statistics via their web host, or have purchased web statistics software, but this is really cool, and really easy. Google Sitemaps. I have […]

Birthday Excitement

Well, if being obsessed with Dark Shadows: The Revival was not enough, now my father-not-in-law-under-W bought me DVD collection 1 and 2 of the original Dark Shadows. I have 80 episodes in total in the first 2 collections. There are twenty-three collections in all…who needs cable? I am excited to compare the 2 series. When […]

Happy Holidays with Barnabas Collins.

I still remember the first night my sister and I saw the two hour season premeire of the 1991 Dark Shadows Revival series. When the series did not get a second season, my sister and I were completely crushed. For Christmas, my sister bought me the DVDs and I, within 5 days, watched the entire […]

Quake 4 for Mac, SoCom for PSP

Today was an exciting day! I do not think I have ever spent as much time with a computer game, as I did with Quake III Arena. So, no surprise when I found out Quake 4 Invasion was announced for the Mac, I got excited. Now the question is…will this push me to buy a […]

This and That TV

Well, it is a “this and that Monday”…lots of random TV related things I want to mention. likeness. I have been catching a lot of the old Dukes of Hazzard reruns on TV late at night, and I have come to a conclusion: George Bush and Roscoe P. Coltrane share many of the same characteristics…and […]
