• Snapshot of Politics

    STANDARD RESPONSE: “Is this crazy land?” Gay Marriage. Some people want a constitutional amendment defining marriage as between one man and one women. I heard a woman on the radio saying, “They can have another word, this word is ours!” (standard response) War on Terror. Do you remember previous wars?…

  • MP3 player for Windows

    iTunes uses 18 megs of memory to run. Winamp uses 7 megs. iTunes doesn’t have the features either. Windows Media Player uses about 7 as well. I do not love the way Windows Media Player works and I definitely do not like iTunes. Ill give Winamp a fresh look.

  • Rebel without a plot

    Just finished watching Rebel without a Cause from Netflix. This movie was terrible. I thought this was a classic? Wha happened?

  • Which stall?

    When you are at work, do you go to the bathroom and use the exact same stall every time? Do you get annoyed if someone is in YOUR stall? What made you choose that particular stall? On another note: President Bush said that Kerry would erase gains made in the…

  • You are a Cyborg

    I am reading this. Here is a thought. You are a Cyborg. We all are. What is a Cyborg? It is something which is part human and part machine. I’m not talking about people with jarvik hearts. I’m talking about you. I wake up in the morning on my bed…

  • Google IPO

    Google does not have a great business plan. Just because they are popular doesn’t make them a 30 Billion dollar company. I’m not buying. This doesn’t mean that their stock price will go up. It just means, I don’t believe in their business. But then again, I have no experience…

  • Writing a book

    I’ve been looking for a book and can not seem to find it, so I think I’m going to write it instead. Here is the general idea: Building a Business Web Application User Interface for Internet Explorer using CSS and DHTML. How to design and build an intuitive, scalable and…

  • Follow Me Fish

    This is cool. This weekend is the Democratic convention in Boston. Hopefully it will be interesting. Maybe I’m being optimistic. Probably.

  • The Note

    CBS News has this page called The Note. It’s very good, but man, its long. How much can happen each day??

  • New Baby

    Only 1 hour after arriving at the hospital, our third baby boy squirted out.  (Much better than the 18 hour marathons we were used to!) Matthew Cal LipkaBorn: July 17, 2004 – 6:30pm Weight: 7.5 lbs Height: 20 in Fingers: 10 Toes: 10:) Baby name thought: When we were thinking…

  • Tired

    Can’t seem to wake up today. Too bad I don’t drink Coffee. On a technology note: I am setting up to work within a J2EE environement, so Im installing Eclipse, WinCVS, WebLogic, Apache Ant and the Java J2SE SDK. I don’t think I need Tomcat or Struts, but who knows.…

  • Philosophy of Life

    I have a new job in San Francisco. So far, it’s the best job I’ve ever had. And sometime this/next week, I will have a third son. Here is my philosophy of life: When things go bad, just think that the bad thing is a credit for 1 equal good…

  • Same Sex Marriage

    It seems that congress is about to vote on a constitutional amendment to ban same sex marriage. How lame are the Republicans on this issue. They say, “Don’t you dare limit my right to have guns! But let’s limit someone else’s right to file a joint tax return!” There has…

  • Wimbeldon

    Today was the Wimbeldon Tennis finals. Federer versus Roddick. Roddick was down 2 sets to 1 but was making a comeback and had 6 break points, any one of which would have given him a distinct advantage in the set and then match. Roddick lost every one of them. After…
