  • Comcast gets owned by the FCC. Well, sort of.

    Another win for Net Neutrality. Today it was reported that the FCC “disciplined” Crap…Comcast for their violation of their customers basic write to access information on the Internet. I say disciplined, because Comcast was not punished via a financial burden. They were just told “you were bad. Don’t do it again. Fix it.”. It is…

  • Waste Management – You are doing it wrong!

    My house is serviced by Waste Management. A company, supposedly, on the forefront of thinking green and working to recycle and minimize pollution. Well, I can tell you guys that you are doing it wrong! I don’t know if this is standard procedure, but I for sure know that other companies, which offer recycling, don’t…

  • Evolution of a blog

    I have decided to change the blog’s theme once again. I want to go with something more professional. I chose BlueBird, because I wanted something less busy, more open and, at the time, I was also high on the Twitter wave. Lately I have been kind of burned out on Twitter! I am not as…

  • Annual theme change.

    This blog underwent the annual theme change. This year I wanted to go with something simple, something plain, but still very functional and pleasing to the eye. Seeing that Twitter is so big (popular), and as I mentioned in a tweet from earlier today, I have decided to mainly use Twitter, if I am going…

  • Twitter Tool – I love you, I hate you!

    The Twitter Tool, a WordPress plugin, is an awesome tool. I love that it posts to my Twitter account whenever I make a post on my blog. It also provides me with the ability to make new tweets from my blog’s sidebar and from within the WordPress administrator menu. But the feature I find most…

  • I very much dislike scrapers!

    I just spend 15 minutes blocking splogs and scraper IPs for jutiagroup.com. It is a pain in the rear. I have to spend time sorting through comments, that are marked as SPAM, to make sure there aren’t any good ones. Almost always they are bad, and 99% of the time they are trackbacks from scraper…

  • Helicopter birthday cake

    Now that’s a cool birthday cake, if not the best birthday cake ever. This cake is shaped like a helicopter and it has a functioning rotor. It’s not a cake like the ones you see created by professional cake creators/designers on the Food Network’s Cake Challenge show, but it’s a cake that everyone can make…

  • Alert Thingy – maybe not!

    Lately I have been hearing a lot of noise about the Alert Thingy. A desktop client, build on Adobe AIR, which allows you to monitor updates on your FriendFeed, and as a side bonus of its latest release you can also post to Twitter and Flickr. FriendsFeed, for which Alert Thingy was build, is profile…

  • FOX News, you over dramatizing, panic spreading liars.

    FOX News really needs to get new writers, because like always FOX is full of it.!. FOX News announcement of the earthquake in Illinois was “A powerful 5.2 magnitude earthquake in central Illinois sends skyscrapers swaying in Chicago.”. WTF FOX? I live 5 minutes from downtown, pretty much everyone in Chicago did NOT know that…

  • Love Poetry

    I received these in an email from my friend. They are entries to a Washington Post competition asking for a two-line rhyme with the most romantic first line, but the least romantic second line: My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife, Marrying you screwed up my life. I see your face when I am dreaming,…
