Happy days! IE 7 has been divorced from the Longhorn time frame, which is seemingly an eternity. Microsoft was hoping to sit on it until then, but the challenge Firefox brings to the table has forced their hand. The certainty of an XP SP3 has been confirmed as well. Whether or not IE 7 will… Continue reading IE 7 in Your Future

Where the Sidewalk Ends
I was driving back to work from lunch today when I had a near-miss with an invincible jogger in the road. I’m guessing he was invincible because he didn’t even quaver at the approach of my car’s awesome kinetic energy. It’s an American luxury sedan, so it has considerable mass. It got me thinking about… Continue reading Where the Sidewalk Ends
Alternatives (Technical)
I’ve only recently tried out the RealPlayer and QuickTime alternatives out there. Due to my hosting arrangement, I’m only able to stream Real A/V streams. The server side stuff is actually really nice, so I’m not complaining about that. I realize, however, that there are a lot of people out there that don’t particularly like… Continue reading Alternatives (Technical)
Enlightened Ingestion
I started on an additional venture yesterday. It’s a food critic idea I had – I eat out all the time. It’s not much of a stretch for me to simply write about my experience at a place. I’m obviously just getting into it, so I hope to grow with the experience as a food… Continue reading Enlightened Ingestion
Winter Storm 2005
[subtle sarcasm ahead] We’ve made it through the Winter Storm 2005 event, as the news likes to call it. The torrential downpour of ice and slush coated everything with a half inch of glassy ice. Quite pretty, though worthless to drive on. My vehicle is front-wheel drive, so it’s rendered useless in the great Georgian… Continue reading Winter Storm 2005
Chicken Launcher
The party last night at Dan’s was fun. He had a good measure of food, which is always good for me. I spent much of the time grazing, though I was able to communicate rudimentarily between bites. Most of the people there were from Dan’s group of employees, though Ed, I, and Ron were not.… Continue reading Chicken Launcher
If I Were a Drinker, I’d be Drunk Tonight
Tonight I’m going to Dan S.’s house for a party. All family members are invited, including the children, so I’m bringing Balthazar. It should be fun. Somewhat of a reunion for me, as it’s primarily exCon’s and Separatists (read: former ConAgra Foods Poultry Group and Pilgrim’s Pride employees). These are buddies from a previous job,… Continue reading If I Were a Drinker, I’d be Drunk Tonight
Vent et Glace sur Lac Lèman du Genéve
Holy cow! I thought *we* had problems with ice in Georgia. I’m not particularly good with French, but my guess is that the pictures are from Lake Lèman in Geneva. Something about heavy winds up to 60mph…and considerably cold. Link: Ice Pictures
I Eat Yellow Foods
It turns out that I really enjoy eating in mom & pop establishments. I sort of always knew that, but didn’t think about it much. They’re often times more expensive than bigger chains, but for what they lack in economy, they gain in service and dining pleasure. You also get a warm, fuzzy knowing that… Continue reading I Eat Yellow Foods
The Science of SETI
I don’t have a lot to add to this article, I just really liked it. I truly believe in other beings in our universe, and the intent to find them. If Star Trek has taught us anything, it’s that English is the universal language. That should make things a lot easier in our sociological connections.… Continue reading The Science of SETI
