Q: How can you tell when a bucket gets sick? A: It becomes a little pale. The Jets, Sunday night, ALMOST won the game against the Chargers. They had 1st and goal with a minute left. Score a touchdown and win. Simple as that. They called 1 run and three timing passes. All losers. They…
The pirate captain was standing in his treasure pile. He didn’t have very much: his booty was only shin-deep.
Tomorrow is a special election in California. Almost all of the measures are sponsored by right wing nut jobs. Also known as Wingnuts. Here are the proposals. Prop 73: Parental Notification of Abortion. Puts in the constitution that life begins at conception. I vote NAY. Prop 74: Public School Teacher Tenure. We treat teachers like…
My wife’s sense of humor: Glen: “There were two peanuts walking down the street. One was assaulted.” Katie: “My goodness. I hope everyone was ok.” Beta News: Yahoo Maps has launched a Google Maps knock off with their Yahoo Maps. The interface is strikingly similar, except they are using Flash rather than Ajax. I think…
Firefox market penetration has been growing lately. Estimates have been in the range of 8-14% of worldwide traffic. Developing RIA (Rich Internet Applications) has been getting easier in the past few years, but the growth of Firefox adds a new wrinkle. As I see it, there are are a few options for RIA. 1. Flash.…
Halloween. We left the house for a solid 90 minutes of trick or treating fun. Ethan and Jared ran, sprinted, from house to house. Matthew running as fast as his little frog legs would carry him in pursuit. Matthew was screaming, “TREAT! TREAT! TREAT!” He would climb up the 3 stairs to the door as…
First of all, it was extremely difficult to install. I finally found this page which helped me figure it out. The drivers for the phone were incorrect. The correct ones were in a zip called p2k.zip. The Motorola website was horrible. It refused to give any help. This site was more helpful. The UI for…
The White House is facing lots of indictments for the Valerie Plame incident. I am hoping for Karl Rove to be put in jail, along with Dick Cheney and Scooter Libby. I am also hoping for the Jets to magically solve their Quarterback problem. I do not have high expectations for either, but I you…
What is Interaction Design? What is Information Architecture? What is Product Management? What is Requirements Analysis? These are the things I do to earn money for my family. But I love doing them, as well. The thing I love best is solving a problem in an elegant way. It is a wonderful feeling to look…
This morning Katie told me a great story about herself while brushing her teeth. It was very funny and she was very animated. However, she refused to sign tghe waiver which would allow me to record the story for posterity. This is a general loss for the entire internet. It was that good. So if…
The Jets game just ended a short while ago. Ugliest game I have ever seen. Seriously, it looked like a high school game. Atlanta was terrible, the Jets were worse. It was as if both teams were TRYING to lose. 7 turnovers. Blech. Vinny got hurt. Vinny is old (41) and has played poorly since…
Where is your nose? Where is your ear? Where is your brain? Big hug? Kiss? Say Thank You. Matthew responds correctly to every one of these tests. He is a good boy. Yesterday, we took the training wheels off Jared’s bike. He rode very well. He doesn’t exactly knowhow to stop or turn or start…
When people are having a conversation really close to you, is it rude to eavesdrop? I mean if they are not being quiet and you were sitting there minding your own business, what are you supposed to do? I am sitting in this situation right now. Should I put on my head phones? Scream? Pretend…
Ok, if this doesn’t make you laugh, something is wrong with you. First watch Tom Cruise on Oprah. I didn’t laugh at this, I was in disbelief. Then watch Tom Kill Oprah. I laughed. It’s funny, come on! Then watch a guy making fun of Tom Cruise for jumping on Oprah. I chuckled. Then watch…
