I now subscribe to almost 100 RSS feeds and use Safari to manage my them. Over the last year, I have run into problems with some of my RSS feeds where there is an error with one RSS feed and the error text seems to leak into other feeds. The blog/news entries still appear correctly, […]
During college, I by chance, picked up a biography of Lyndon Baines Johnson and ended up reading in and many others in between games of Sonic the Hedgehog 2. By the end of the summer, I had a new and profound understanding of one of our greatest presidents of all time. After a hard week, […]
I have been debating for the last several weeks about moving from my traditional phone service to Vonage. For someone like me who does not use the phone a lot, does it make sense for me to pay $50 a month for local phone service, another $50 for my cell phone, and A pays another […]
I enjoy a good Apple commercial and am happy to see there are a few new ones out. If you have not seen them on TV yet, check them out on Apple’s web site. [tags]Apple, Mac commercials[/tags]
Well, I finally had a reason to go out and pick up a new mouse this past weekend…and I bought a Mighty Mouse. People who know me will tell you that I have stuck by Apple and have used a single button mouse my entire life, until now. I have not programmed the other buttons […]

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!
This past weekend was a great weekend. Nice weather, golf…and a new purchase…a Land Rover Discovery. A’s Civic was a hardcore car, but not something I wanted to drive, or something that I felt safe in. Time to upgrade to a Land Rover. I know…gas consumption…everything has pluses and minuses and I am fully aware […]
Yesterday I happened to read an article on a new online digital asset manager called Fluxiom. (Using a reflection on a graphic will never get old for me.) I instantly was impressed by the UI (user interface) after reading the Vitamin review of Fluxiom and would recommend people taking a look at it as well. […]
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 […]
Yard work…you either love it or hate it. After recently moving from a condo into a house, I am very pleased it is summer and I now have to mow the lawn, trim the hedeges, edge the sidewalks, weed whack where the lawn mower will not go, and fertilize the yard. That is what I […]
