Battlestar Galactica

Battlestar Galactica

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 yarns about [...]

Rain, Electricity and What-to-do

Rain, Electricity and What-to-do

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 were soaked (but [...]

SOA World Conference & Expo 2007

SOA World Conference & Expo 2007

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 [...]

If you’re going to be stupid, you have to be smart about it.

If you’re going to be stupid, you have to be smart about it.

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 [...]

Reboot // SteveMooradian.com

Reboot // SteveMooradian.com

I just totally revamped, augmented, and otherwise “rebooted” my main vanity personal site SteveMooradian.com. I wanted to put together a brand new site that more illustrated the confusing plethora of scattered interests and endeavors that have pervaded my existence thus far. Sure, I toyed with the idea of a serious portfolio type site for web [...]

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 of it [...]

SPAM Attack!

SPAM Attack!

No, that’s not the title of a cool Flash game, it’s what just happened to me. I only wish I was joking… but my inbox is literally filling faster than I can delete it. It looks like someone fired off a massive SPAM message using spoof return email addresses from the Negative99.com domain. Of course, [...]

I hate Internet Explorer and its little dog, too.

I hate Internet Explorer and its little dog, too.

NOTE: The following post was written after a couple very frustrating hours fighting with Internet Explorer using XHTML, CSS, and my bare hands. The ever-vigilant web stylist, Ms. Gepner, sent me a screenshot of the bad news that I knew was coming but was living in denial of. Yes, the newly released beta versions of [...]

Eunuchs

Eunuchs

Growing up you almost always form a certain stereotypical elderly figure in your mind… whether from TV or movies or whatever… whose sole job is to wait for the opportune moment to hold out a bony old finger and, with a dentured whistle, blurt out something like “I can remember back… when we didn’t have [...]

Duckets from Seattle

Duckets from Seattle

If you live in New York (the state, of course) you can get back some of your silver from Billy Gates because of a class action settlement by Microsoft with the Sate of New York. You’ll get $12 for each Windows OS license and $5 for each MS-DOS or MS Office license that you acquired [...]
