New SteveMooradian.com website

Well I’ve been busy working with Adobe Flash not only at work but at home as well. Here’s the latest concoction I’ve come up with for my personal homepage. It is completely done in Flash. I have implemented a handy system that allows people to automatically upgrade their Flash player to version [...]

Air Toss

Air Toss

Few Flash games can consume people like this one. And this is about as simple as it gets. But simple can be really fun… why else would we be finding ways to download old Atari 2600 games to play on our lightining fast Pentium 4 systems with suped-up video cards?
I know it’s been [...]

AllOfMp3.com

AllOfMp3.com

This was shared with me, so now I’m sharing it with you. Some of you may have already heard about this site through friends… others through news stories. This was unknown to me until very recently.
AllOfMP3.com [wikipedia] is a Moscow based MP3 online store that sells songs for about 1/10th of what other [...]

Free is Bad. Cost is Good.

Free is Bad.  Cost is Good.

I have discovered a beautiful life-nugget of truth: free is bad… cost is good. This concept can take many forms so I’ll address a few here.
For instance, you should (almost) always put a small cost on “free” services to people. There are very few exceptions to this, and the benefits and wisdom [...]

Daughter Sues Parents For Slipping In Driveway

Daughter Sues Parents For Slipping In Driveway

Some woman is suing her parents after tripping in their driveway when showing up for a surprise birthday party for her mother. Whiskey tango foxtrot! It disturbs me whenever I hear about putrid cases like this, whether the litigants are related or not… but suing your parents because they maintained “an icy driveway”? [...]

P-town, As Hypocritical As Gay Gets

P-town, As Hypocritical As Gay Gets

Provincetown, Massachusetts, also known as P-town, is located at the tippy tip of Cape Cod. It has a large gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans-gendered, dual-souled, bi-curious, criss-cross, and confused population comparitively with the size of the town, making it one of the highest concentrations of gayness in America.
Now the Cape is a beautiful place that [...]

Voting Should Be Harder

Voting Should Be Harder

I have come to the conclusion that it should absolutely be harder to vote in a major election. In fact, it should be wicked hard [spoken using a Boston accent].
Why? Because I want elected leaders who have policies that appeal to the movers… to the get-up-and-goers… to the put-the-potato-chips-down, turn-off-Oprah, and-let’s-go-vote-right-now-ers. I [...]

Kim Komando

Kim Komando

Kim Komando, America’s Digital Goddess, is an über-’puter-savvy talk radio host who has a weekly 3-hour call-in show on over 400 radio stations. For people local to me in Albany, NY, she is on 810 WGY from 1-4:00pm. Her website is Komando.com.
I find her show to be a wealth of information. Much [...]

How to De-beautify America the Beautiful

How to De-beautify America the Beautiful

In light of the nation’s 230th birthday I reflected on some of the ways that this great nation is decaying from the inside out… so I decided to list some of them… many of which are already underway and getting worse. (Wallpaper from my favorite wallpaper site, Digital Blasphemy)

Let beggars be choosers. Let [...]

Off to the Cape

Off to the Cape

I know… I know… it seems that I really don’t even blog anymore… all I do is play guitar and travel. Well, there are worse fates.
I’m being treated to a Cape Cod getaway by my wife as a birthday present (yes, my birthday is the 4th of July). I’m [...]
