Internet Explorer 7 will be releasing sometime this summer (as currently planned) to retrofit a browser losing popularity in the latest war. FireFox has gained an unimaginable 10%+ of the market in a very short period of time. I, myself, have been swayed to gear my development efforts towards FireFox’s support model. From what Dean… Continue reading FireFox: 1, IE 7: -1

Spring is Nigh!
From what I’m reading, spring starts earlier now. I missed this fact growing up – perhaps no one cared enough to tell me. But Space.com tells us (scientifically) that spring starts no later than March 20th in the Northern Hemisphere. In fact, it actually starts on March 19th for all but the eastern states. There’s… Continue reading Spring is Nigh!
St. Patrick’s Day at Meehan’s
Amy, I, and Balthazar all went to Meehan’s this evening to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. It was an excellent venue for the event, though it was pretty much standing room only. If it seems a bit odd to bring a two-year-old to an ale house, it is. However, Meehan’s catered to all until 8:00pm on… Continue reading St. Patrick’s Day at Meehan’s
Ice Cube Escapee
I have an ice tray that consistently ejects ice from at least one cube with every freeze. I’m perplexed by this phenomenon! It must happen just as the surface of the ice freezes. I’ve opened the freezer early in the process to see partially frozen cubes. The offender can be found, prominently displaying its shard.… Continue reading Ice Cube Escapee
Omnifi is Here!
I got my Omnifi bundle today from woot.com. I was so eager to get into it that I immediately opened the box and grabbed the documentation to begin reading. I knew I wouldn’t have a chance to play with the parts until much later, so I figured this would satisfy me. This thing is cool!… Continue reading Omnifi is Here!
Atlanta Killings Make BIG News
Brian Nichols escaped from a courthouse today in Fulton County, having shot and killed the judge, court reporter, and possibly a sheriff’s deputy. I’m guessing by his shocking departure that he’s guilty. He also took the time to pistol-whip an AJC reporter while hijacking a vehicle. I’m shocked that this sort of thing could even… Continue reading Atlanta Killings Make BIG News
The Beginner’s Guide to Business Blogging
If you don’t frequent ChangeThis.com, you probably should. They play host to many a free resource for the techno-exec style white paper. I recently read through The Beginner’s Guide to Business Blogging, which was actually a good read cover to cover (as most of their guides are). The topics covered helped me with my personal… Continue reading The Beginner’s Guide to Business Blogging
“Looks like he’s heading towards that small moon…”
For USD 299.00, you can get an Episode VI (Star Wars: Return of the Jedi) Death Star LEGO replica. I think that’s a sweet deal! And well…I have a two year-old, so it’s justified too. I didn’t even realize the advancements that LEGO has made in the years since my abandonment of the box of… Continue reading “Looks like he’s heading towards that small moon…”
A Considerate Computer
Microsoft Research tells us about some intelligent software able to make decisions on availability versus message importance. The workforce potentially loses lots of productive time attending to unimportant emails. Worse still, unimportant messages can cut into personal time. This system is designed to do the human part of risk analysis in order to determine whether… Continue reading A Considerate Computer
Pee Your Bed Much?
When I was very young, I distinctly remember wetting the bed. More importantly, I remember why I wet the bed. In all cases I can recall, there was a very realistic dream in which I rose from bed and stumbled into the bathroom to pee. The realism peaked when the warmth of my own urine… Continue reading Pee Your Bed Much?
