I have installed an interesting application – BlogJet. It’s a cool Windows client for my blog tool (as well as for other tools). It has MSN-like smiley’s, which are amusing . Get your copy here: http://blogjet.com *UPDATE* The smiley’s are cool, but it’s good to know that they’re just images and probably need to be… Continue reading Testing BlogJet

Canon EOS 20D
My wife just picked up a new camera – digital for once. She’s generally opposed to the medium, but I think the competition and my bantering are finally winning her over. The issue, of course, is that she’s a medium-format user and digital cameras are oft-not capable of reproducing images of this caliber. There are… Continue reading Canon EOS 20D
Time Well Spent
Having been preoccupied nightly with Halo 2 and some friends on XBOX Live!, I’ve neglected the site a bit. The part that everyone sees, anyway. I’m working on some other things for the gallery, but I won’t talk to that until I have something more than vapor-ware. The Live! environment is rich with the young… Continue reading Time Well Spent
Thanksgiving Day
It’s Thanksgiving Day in the United States. Another one of those holidays that probably only has any significance to Americans. Although this is a time that we’re supposed to be thankful for the things the Indians did for us in allowing helping Pilgrims to survive, we mainly just gorge ourselves with turkey, stuffing (a bread-crumb… Continue reading Thanksgiving Day
Site Update
The site underwent a minor change to avoid confusion. I was tired of the ‘Live Journal’ reference for my blog, so I removed that link. I also removed the site’s news from the homepage and replaced it with my blog. There. Now you’re forced to view the blog if you land on the site. Incidentally,… Continue reading Site Update
CNN.com – Man in Americas earlier than thought
Once believed to have occured approximately 13,000 years ago, new estimates were made to push man’s (homo sapiens) arrival into North America to around 25,000 years ago. This changed yet again when John Topper discovered what appears to be man-made implements several meters below the current Topper site. The radiocarbon date testing pushes these items… Continue reading CNN.com – Man in Americas earlier than thought
Orkut.com Media: Cure for a Political Hangover
Another good read on Orkut’s new Media section. This one by Mark Ganek on political satire. I’m not the type, but I found this to be profound and entertaining. Ganek beats about the head and shoulders societal tendencies to muck-rake on differences of political party. Though, as seen in his humorous article, it’s hard not… Continue reading Orkut.com Media: Cure for a Political Hangover
Orkut.com Media – The Mission Hipster
You should read this article. It’s a well written piece by a truly gifted writer in California, Jen La Sala. To add to my list of multi-faceted, half-assed abilities, I’d like to be able to write as well as she. “Smoke drifts over from the table of women dressed in black and hot pink, bangs… Continue reading Orkut.com Media – The Mission Hipster
Dr. Evil Works for Boeing
NASA pushed an unmanned scramjet to nearly mach 10 recently. The technologies are all new and never before put into effect on a flying vehicles before. NASA has broken the flying speed record twice now. The report says that possible military use in the creation of a bomber could reach anywhere on the planet (surface-level,… Continue reading Dr. Evil Works for Boeing
Legacy Services
Has anyone ever thought of setting up a service to exchange email to standard postal mail? It would cost, of course, at least the value of a stamp an envelope. Maybe you could even handle attachments and print them out to go along. I think it’s an interesting service that is needed by a small-ish… Continue reading Legacy Services
