1yr. birthday parties are fun, despite what you might think about them. They’re more for family and friends than for the babies, of course. As such, it’s a good time to go and see your friends with their babies and catch up on whatever you haven’t caught up on lately. For me, it was a… Continue reading Year-Old Birthdays

There and Back Again…and There Again
So I get into work this morning at 10-till-7:00am. This would give me plenty of time to work-out and take a shower before I start my day out. Everything is going as planned until I open the rear, driver-side door to get my gym bag. There on my rear, passenger-side seat sits the baby’s car… Continue reading There and Back Again…and There Again
Billy Joel, We Need Another “We Didn’t Start the Fire!”
Viruses plague MSN, service interruptions for IM’ers PayPal learns the meaning of ‘change control’ when a development error costs them days of business and customer loyalty (still not working, by the way) War in the Middle East Superman dead (this time for real) RIAA sues everyone America can’t decide between an indecisive, anti-war veteran and… Continue reading Billy Joel, We Need Another “We Didn’t Start the Fire!”
Dell Blade Server Preview
I’m under an NDA, so I can’t actually tell you anything about Dell’s blade servers coming 4th quarter, 2004. What I can tell you is that Brocade never ceases to amuse me. This company sends me a brochure that might as well have been leathre-bound and gold-plated. It was ultra slick and obviously created at… Continue reading Dell Blade Server Preview
SpaceShipOne Wins $10 Million Ansari X Prize in Historic 2nd Trip to Space
This day in history! SpaceShipOne reaches a height exceeding the requirements for the Ansari X prize. This achievment is said to be the door to spaceward tourism, though I’m not as concerned about that. I would certainly enjoy a flight to space, but I’m guessing the price is a bit steep at the moment. We… Continue reading SpaceShipOne Wins $10 Million Ansari X Prize in Historic 2nd Trip to Space
Starbuck’s in Gainesville
I’ve been eyeing the “Coming Soon” sign sitting innocently at a local Starbucks development. I’m not a trendy suburbanite, I just like coffee a great deal. While their’s is not the best I can get, it certainly beats gas stations and many of the pseudo coffee houses. There is some fear from locals that a… Continue reading Starbuck’s in Gainesville
Social Innovation Forum
In follow-up to my previous post, I found some relevant information on the voter’s lottery idea. I don’t recall the name of the person credited on NPR for the idea, but I’m thinking Alan Kay was not the guy. At any rate, his article was interesting to skim. And for what it’s worth, I’d pay… Continue reading Social Innovation Forum
Bush/Kerry Political Debate
I’m not a politically motivated (I’m demotivated, actually) person, generally speaking. I can’t really tell you honestly on which party my loyalty falls. I don’t know. Despite my existence as a mugwump, I did watch the debate tonight. I use watch loosely as I actually did some of it with my eyes closed. And maybe… Continue reading Bush/Kerry Political Debate
A Digitally Revolutionized Legacy
In association to an article at darrenbarefoot.com, I was reminded of a topic I’ve brought up before (with little success in exciting anyone). We’re beginning a new era of the “Digitally Revolutionized Legacy,” but it’s not us – Generation X – as first thought. No, the new era starts with our children. I would say… Continue reading A Digitally Revolutionized Legacy
Win XP Starter Edition Images
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
