Okay, I’ve had almost two full weeks to get over the fact that LucasArts — bless their damned souls — released their sweet new game titled Star Wars: The Force Unleashed to every conceivable platform… EXCEPT the PC!? [umm... whiskey tango foxtrot?]
It wouldn’t be so bad if this was any ordinary game… but [...]
I have discovered Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and I think I may be in love. Is that healthy? While processing our Cape Cod pictures taken on our new Canon G9 I decided to give Lightroom a spin… and it’s having two diametric effects on me. I am gigglingly delighted with the results… both [...]
As thoughts of Memorial Day weekend vacation fills my mind… I think to the inevitable getaway taboo that occurs without fail - I will get online somewhere. When I do, I like to carry my trusty thumbdrive packed with goodies from PortableApps.com. That site is a treasure trove of single folder (and often, [...]
WordPress, the foremost blogging system used on the internet today, has just released their version 2.5 for alpha testers a couple days ago. I have been testing it… and I have to say that I am impressed.
I love WordPress. I use it for several websites (including the one you’re reading and my personal [...]

This morning I went to work with my umbrella. The walk from my car to the main gate was a torrential downpour… and the rain was coming in sideways. My umbrella was about as useful as a fishing boat in the desert. I was soaked… my bag was soaked… my electronic toys [...]
I just got back from SOA World 2007 and Enterprise OpenSource 2007 conferences & expos (occurring simultaneously) in New York City at the Roosevelt Hotel.
For those who don’t know, SOA (often pronounced soh’-uh) stands for Service-oriented Architecture and is a current fad in enterprise information systems. This conference was a buzzword-fest of the highest [...]
Recently an event came to my attention that inclined me to spontaneously spout the following:
You know… if you’re gonna’ be stupid, you gotta’ be smart about it.
I love one-liners, and the poetry of this one rang true in my ears as soon as it left my lips. I quickly Googled to see if anyone [...]
