NeoWin.net informs us of a new edition of Windows XP (though I’m certain there were other more official sources), the Starter Edition (SE). SE is an ambiguous cloud of hype that many industries implore. It could be anything from “Second Edition” to “Special Edition” or “Sales Executive.” By maintaining the “SE” non-clarification however, a company… Continue reading Win XP Starter Edition Images

Rhythm Downtown
Yet another successful night of drumming on the square in Gainesville. We had a great crowd tonight, and continued to see new people right up until we left. As my friend, David, pointed out, I have been up now for 19 hours. He wasn’t too sure that I’d have the drive to complete a long… Continue reading Rhythm Downtown
The Device that Rocks the Cradle
Gary Cho invented the “Caring Cot” that potentially allows parents to get the entire night’s sleep. As a relatively new parent myself, the concept of more than a few hours of sleep at a time was just inconceivable for the first several months. We’ve gotten a little better at ignoring the minor sounds of a… Continue reading The Device that Rocks the Cradle
Doonesberry
And on the Navistar CXT/H2 overkill vehicle front, we have this from Doonseberry.
Dynamic Header @ 1976design.com
I’m deeply inspired by the efforts of Dunstan Orchard and friends in the development of a dynamic banner on his webpage. A friend of mine, Sean, pointed this site out to me. You just simply have to read the description, but here’s an excerpt: The sheep alternate their positions every other day, and also respond… Continue reading Dynamic Header @ 1976design.com
Mashed Potatoes and Crayons
Tonight we took Balthazar to Chili’s for dinner. They have a grilled cheese sandwhich and mashed potatoes that he seems to really enjoy. He has two ear infections [again] so it’s been hit or miss as to whether or not he would eat and/or stand for us eating. I walked him in and out of… Continue reading Mashed Potatoes and Crayons
The Epitome of Disgusting Males
We traveled out to my mom’s place, Dancing Goat’s Farm, for the day. There we visited with her and my grandmother and her sister. They’re “refugees of Hurricane Ivan” as Gwen (my grand aunt) put it. At any rate, my mom enlightened us to the behavior of a male goat with a field of female… Continue reading The Epitome of Disgusting Males
Zero-G Flights now Departing from Local Airports
Zero-G is the first company to offer a 0-gravity experience to non-astronauts. I don’t know that that is such a good idea, but I’m all for it personally. The company is on a tour where they’ll offer these flights for about $3,000.00 in airports such as L.A., New York, and Atlanta. The package cost gets… Continue reading Zero-G Flights now Departing from Local Airports
Map of Springfield
Slashdot introduced me to this “obsessively detailed map of Springfield” this morning. I rather like the town’s layout. The obvious next move is to build the city in your favorite Sim of choice (e.g. SimCity). Bonus points for anyone that can do it in Rise of Nations. While this covers the Simpson’s, I’m hoping that… Continue reading Map of Springfield
Word of the Day
I came across this word at (oddly enough) a site on CSS and web design. I think I shall begin to use this word with some frequency! Thanks, Sweden, for your herring and Euro-slang.
