So I just nearly wiped my entire hard drive using a DoD-certified data deletion algorithm. I know, I know… I just got done with computer troubles.
I was trying to clean an external drive for possible giveaway, and needed to ensure no info could be resurrected off said device. Unfortunately, when I began this [...]
It’s not hard to see that I’ve been nearly out-of-commission on here. I’ve been fighting with my ‘puter. I had been getting very buggy behavior (buggier than normal Microsoft buggy) so I decided it was that time… that magical time in every PC user’s life… time to take the plunge and completely reformat [...]
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 [...]
My blog has just passed a milestone… over 100,000 spam comments. Thanks to Akismet only a small percentage actually make it to a real comment (after which I whack it myself). Thanks to all the spammers and internet crooks, from Brazil to Russia to Nigeria, who made this day possible.
This past week I attended the Adobe MAX 2007 Conference being held in Chicago’s huge McCormick Place Conference Center. This was a tremendous event for a heavy user of Adobe products (like myself), and was easily the best conference I have ever attended.
Here are some pics (and you can view the full photoset here):

I have to admit that I am utterly hooked on the reboot of Battlestar Galactica on the SciFi channel. When it kicked off in 2004 as a special 2-hour movie pilot I missed it (because I don’t get full cable) and thus I was left out… for too long. Whilst my friends spun [...]
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'm a Christ-follower, compelled by my faith toward reason, which points directly toward conservatism. This world's daily onslaught of lunacy offends my intellect and senses, so this is my venue to blow off steam.
