  • 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…

  • Audrey Visit and Pictures

    We uploaded new pictures to http://pictures.kokopop.com. This month we have Audrey visiting us.  Audrey is the woman who took care of Ethan while Katie and I worked at Koko.  She potty trained him and spent a ton of time with him during his developing years.  He didn’t remember her, but they quickly got back into…

  • Bad Week

    Having a bad week.  My HTML/CSS is looking ragged.  My head is distracted.  Lots of negative interactions.  It has been hard to keep my head up.  The beard has grown back, which is a good thing, I think.  (Tangent – Remember in The Tick, when the mustache attached itself to the Tick and spoke in…

  • Jets Break My Heart

    The Jets played the dreaded New England Patriots (Hiss! Boo! Rubbish! Filth!) and, of course, lost.  But they didn’t just lose.  They first went down by a lot and then made a nice comeback near the end of the game.  Some great plays, but in the end, they fell short.  It seems that the Jets…

  • I am an idiot

    Cases in point: 1. I dropped Ethan off at school and lost Jared.  I started to panic and get frantic.  I went to the school office and they put out the APB.  He is quickly found.  Jared, where did you go?  He said, "I had to go poop!"  ugh. The other parents thought I was…

  • Lipka Luck

    Of course, the minute I say Storm Large is cool, she gets the old heave ho.  She got kicked off the island!  Her website is unavailable now.  Apparently, it got slammed after her dismissal. Oh well, she still had a few great songs.  Next week is the last show.  Who will win?  I think Toby…

  • Rockstar: Storm Large

    I have a guilty pleasure.  It is RockStar SuperNova.  I have to admit, I like it alot.  I didn’t want to like it.  Dave Navaro is retarded and the SuperNova guys (Gilby Clarke, Tommy Lee and Jason Newstead) but damn it, I really am hooked.  I liked Lukas at first, and then I liked Ryan…

  • Vacation

    We just got back from a 10 day adventure to the east coast.  We spent the first 5 days in Lake George with Danny, Dad, Me and all wives/kids.  It was a good time.  We went fishing and caught bass.  We canoed on the lake.  At one point, Abigail and Ethan wanted to canoe together…
