Hey, this 17 year old girl may have just found a cure for cancer!  What should we give her? Let’s give her $100,000 and a round of applause. Hey, this guy just ran a leather egg-shaped ball from one side of a large field to the other!  He also had a bunch of dogs kill [...]

Firesold

I’m now one of the thousands of schmucks that recently purchased an HP Touchpad during the latest crazy fire sale.  I’d explain what that was all about, but I already did, and the browser on the touchpad crashed before I could post it.  I also had a minor review about the pad, but that was [...]

I’m not Dead yet. Well, minus the site name.

Since this ‘blog’ has been pretty much dead over the last year, I’ve decided to dedicate some more time towards it over the coming months.  I have a bunch of photos and overly opinionated topics that I’d like to bring up. That’s all for now, really.  This place needs some nice house plants.  It’s looking [...]

Photo Gallery is finally on line

Since I’ve been a lazy bum and not updating the blog, I figured it’s time to get it rolling again.  I got the photo gallery completed and ready to go.  I’ll be uploading photos in large batches on a weekly basis.  I’m starting with some of my older photography, and I’ll move towards the more [...]

More Canon T1i sample shots

More Canon T1i sample shots

I had a couple of great days to take some good photos.  My wife finally took control of the Canon this time around, and she wanted me to be sure to inform the readers that “it’s the most amazing camera she’s ever owned.”  I think she likes it. Here’s some of the shots from yesterday’s [...]

Canon T1i (EOS 500D) Final Review

Canon T1i (EOS 500D) Final Review

Read the Pre-Review first if you want my initial thoughts about this camera. I’ve been using the Canon T1i extensively over the past week.  At first, I was having a hard time taking decent shots due to lousy weather conditions, but it was a beautiful day today and I finally had a chance to really get down [...]

Canon T1i (EOS 500D) Pre-Review

Canon T1i (EOS 500D) Pre-Review

EDIT:  See note at bottom I recently purchased Canon’s latest Digital SLR, the Canon T1i.  After i give it a heavy workout, I’ll post a full review here in the next day or two.  So far I’m loving this camera, and it has definitely lived up to my expectations.   I took it out yesterday for [...]

Free software - Helping companies through a crumbling economy

Free software – Helping companies through a crumbling economy

At my old job, we did whatever it took to save the company money, and this ended up as extra cash in the employees’ pockets in the form of bonuses.  One way we saved thousands of dollars was to set up a Linux server, and kept our Windows 2003 server simply for file storage.  We installed open [...]

So who’s at fault for the economic crisis?

Honestly, I think both sides of the political spectrum have it wrong (one side blaming the other and ignoring the facts).  However, after watching this video, I do have to question the decisions of the Democrats back in 2004 to ignore the corruption going on at Freddie Mac.  The Republicans request to have more regulations [...]

Tasha – Tribes Automated Speaking Helper Application

Some of you may recall that a few months ago, I posted pictures of Tasha on the forums. For those of you reading this blog who are unfamiliar with Tasha, she is an AI script that I wrote for Starsiege Tribes.  She answers questions, talks about different things, insults people, and even plays the game.  [...]
