GamesForHeroes.com
Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

GamesForHeroes.com is a nice non-profit charity to send handheld game consoles to the troops in Iraq. I haven’t been deployed yet, but after being in tech school and basic training I know boredom can be an issue in some military situations, especially when you’re in the middle of the desert I’m sure. Might keep some guys […]

WIRED Science
Friday, October 19th, 2007

Wired Science is a new show on PBS from the same people that produce WIRED magazine and the WIRED.com web site. Obviously the show is about science, and I’ve really been enjoying it. They present a lot of interesting modern technology just like they do in the magazine and on the web site, but in full […]

Save some money - Refundplease.com
Saturday, October 6th, 2007

I like Amazon. I am an Amazon Prime member so I get 2-day shipping for free all the time, which makes ordering things on a whim much easier because you don’t have to worry about wasting money shipping a single item. But now I like Amazon even more because of the handy web site RefundPlease and Amazon’s […]

Hello, Internet
Saturday, October 6th, 2007

Hello, I think I will start posting on this blog again. Some of my friends have finally caught on to the blogging revolution, so I figure I should join them again. It is too bad they did not catch on to this revolution 5 years ago like everyone else. All of my other friends have […]

Why the Y Key Gets Abused
Friday, March 11th, 2005

Ryan and I continued our scientific exploration this evening when he noticed that the Y key on his 12” Powerbook looked more “used” than the other keys. The paint wasn’t fading or anything, because it’s a Powerbook and they are indestructible, but it lacked a certain shine that the other keys had. Or maybe it […]

Name Order
Friday, March 11th, 2005

I was just discussing with my friend Ryan what the reasons are in the way we order two people’s names. For instance, Duke and Gloria. Bob and Stella. Ron and Claudia. These sound natural. But Gloria and Duke sounds wrong. Why?

After much discussion, we have come up with this…

If the two names are of different […]

Lost is Losing
Thursday, December 30th, 2004

Lost is one of my favorite TV shows in a long time. It’s like a movie, only it comes on every week!

At least it did… The show has been in re-runs for several weeks, which has all but killed the momentum of the show for me. Wednesday night used to be “Lost Night” that my […]

Gotta Get My Stuff Done
Monday, December 27th, 2004

Here is a great cartoon about procrastination, which I suffer from. In fact I’m posting this link on this blog instead of working. Dammit.

Gmail - Fun while it lasted
Wednesday, July 7th, 2004

I’m switching all my email back to the IMAP accounts on my server, and using Apple Mail to check my email again. For the past 3 days Gmail has been terribly unreliable for me, on multiple computers. Messages weren’t being moved, I had to click the send button 5 or 10 times before it would […]

If you still haven’t gotten a Gmail invite and want one, go to the Automatic Gmail Invite Giver Awayer and refresh the page until you get one.

If you have some invites that you don’t need, send them to the Automatic Gmail Invite Giver Awayer.

I’ve received about 11 invites in the past day or two, so […]
