Work has been really frenetic. So many different projects and so much to do. I got approval to hire and manage a web developer to free up some of my time to work more on Information Architecture and UI Design. The guy we hired was offered alot of money from…
When the draft was over, I was thinking about the hundreds of guys who didn’t get picked. On this one single day, they go from their old lives as collegiate superstars to the potential of being picked for the NFL (which carries with it a hefty salary check) to being…
For the second time, since I can remember, I am not unhappy after the NFL Draft. The first time was when the Jets selected Abraham, Ellis and Pennington. All good additions. This year the Jets selected 10 players. (This is alot for a draft). And I am very happy. If…
How much do other people think? For me it is an insatiable activity. Every person I see; I wonder what they do for a living, what makes them tick, what troubles them, what they are thinking. Every building I see; I wonder who built it, who architected it, what choices…
Katie and I watched the Mambo Kings last night. I had seen it years ago, but I thought she would love it. Antonio Banderas singing and dancing and speaking spanish. What more could Katie want? Apparently something because she gave it a 3. I thought it was very sad. Made…
Still trying out html editors and still not WOWed. Review so far. HTML-KIT – This is the most customizable thing I have ever seen. Literally every single thing is editable. The problem is that the UI is so complicated that it is taking me so long to set it up…
Two things on the news today. First, this is the 100 anniversary of the San Francisco earthquake. They keep saying we are going to get another one in our lifetimes. I am hoping for an earthquake to help drive down the price of housing. I don’t want anyone hurt, but…
Watching Big Love with Katie. I think polygamy is interesting. Of course, there is the down side of the bickering, but the upside is nice too. You don’t have to worry about “in the mood” issues. More people to clean up is good. The only problem is the money. I…
Google Calendar went into beta the other day. I think the execution is excellent. Very good all around. I am still struggling with the need for an online calendar. Is this better than a date book? I feel that I need the calendar in a PDA that I carry around.…
I am watching cartoons with the boys. We are watching an old cartoon, I used to watch as a kid called Dungeons and Dragons. I heard Eric the Paladin’s voice and thought it was very familiar. So I looked it up on imdb. Check it out. For kicks I looked…
He has been singing this pretty loudly for a few days now. I’ve got a song and it’s not very long and it goes like, you see; It’s kind of snappy and it makes me happy and it ends with Bo Ja Be! Jared has been chiming in too. Sort…
The new RoboCut arrived (the old one broke when it tried to cut Jared’s thick hair). I cut my hair this morning and Katie says it looks good. I also cut Matt’s hair. His face looks alot bigger now. Tonight, it’s Jared and Ethan’s turn. Tom Delay retired from the…
Lately, I have been trying to keep my html well formed. (XHTML 1.0 Transitional) It is a lot harder to do, but I am finding that it is easier to debug on multiple browsers. Right now, I am working on a cleaned up version of http://www.intuit.com. This is also the…
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12077417/?from=ET Once again. What the hell is wrong with these people? The more I think about it, the more I feel society is DE-volving. Every business and government decision is moving us backwards. Every story about people makes me retch. Ugh. What the hell?
