  • Happy McTalkAlot

    That is my new nickname for Matthew.  He is so happy and he doesn’t shut up.  He is Happy McTalkAlot.  He is literally manic.  He just BIT Jared this morning!  The three of them are going to beat the living hell out of each other for sure.  But in general, they are happy boys.  Matthew’s…

  • Florida Wedding

    We just got back from my mom’s wedding in Boca.  It was a nice backyard affair.  Who knew corn beef, pastrami and potato pancakes could work with Sushi and spring rolls?  It was hot for October in Florida so we did some swimming.  We went to the beach once, but it was so nice, I…

  • New WordPress Plugins

    First, I turned off the "must be logged in to write comments" option.  Danny had complained.  Wuss.  So to avoid spam, I tried to turn on Akismet.  I have no idea if this is going to work.  I shall see. Then I wanted a WYSIWYG editor for writing posts and I saw this one called…

  • Electric Car!

    Check out Tesla Motors! This thing kicks ass. It’s 100% electric. It goes from 0 to 60 in 4 seconds. Top speed of 130mpg. It uses ZERO gas. Charge it and it goes 250 miles. It charges by plugging it into the wall. Lotus designed it. This thing is awesome. Check out their FAQs. So…

  • Designers and Corporate America

    Thanks to Rachael Luxemburg for sending me this great article about what I go through. All of the creative community I work with thought it was right on the mark. I am still in love with jQuery by the way. It is much easier to deal with than the Jets. I wanted to make a…

  • Virtual Magnifying Glass

    Virtual Magnifying Glass/ This is a great tool that will be added to my little utility belt along with TrayColor. They are both free and each one does one thing very well. I love specialized software like that. I also saw a preview of Wallop.com. I don’t know if anyone has an account, but it…

  • Negative Voting

    I think it would be a great improvement if they changed the voting system so that you could vote AGAINST someone. How many times have you heard someone say, “I dislike both of them, but I hate one of them most.” In the Bush v. Gore/Kerry races, I would have gladly voted against Bush instead…

  • Ethan 7

    Ethan turned 7 today and we had a very nice day. He got all kinds of presents and lots of phone calls and visitors. He is happy as a clam. I remember when I turned 7. I had been changing my ‘lucky number’ each year to match my age. But when I turned 7, I…

  • Best Fight Scenes

    Best Fight Ever scenes from the movies: Leroy Green vs. ShoNuff (The Last Dragon) “Rowdy” Roddy Piper vs. The other guy (They Live) Patricia Arquette vs. Tony Soprano (True Romance) Rocky Balboa vs. Apollo Creed (Rocky – the one he lost) What’s on your list?

  • Jets Lose – Kids Grow Up

    The Jets lost a killer game yesterday and nearly broke my heart.  The end of the game was riddiculous and had everything except the tuba player. (Inside Joke to football fans.  Ask a man.)  I could NOT believe they lost. Work is moving along.  jQuery continues to rock the house.  I wish I was a…
