The War In Iraq
“According to Human Rights Watch, during 23 years of Saddam’s rule some 290,000 Iraqis disappeared into the regime’s deadly maw, the majority of these reckoned to be now dead. Rounding this number down by as much as 60,000 to compensate for the ‘thought to be’, that is 230,000. It is 10,000 a […]

Green power is electric energy generated using environmentally friendly renewable and reusable resources, such as solar, wind, biomass, and water. Working with other utilities, renewable energy generators, environmentalists, and regulators, Duke Power collaborated on […]
More Ways To Beat Spam
When you sign up an account online it insists that you give an email that is useable…so the system can send you login information. Jetable creates an email for you for a specified time period (six to twenty four hours) that will temporarily forward to your main email. The […]
United We Stand [Not]?
“From my point of view the most interesting thing was the way he took me back to 1985, when I was a Sun Microsystems Senior Technical Support Specialist and the brave talk in the company was about how we would “bring Unix to the desktop”. Right. What actually happened, of course, was […]
We’re having great weather in Vancouver these last few weeks and even I’m trying to enjoy it every now and then. There’s a lot going on at work including getting ready for a couple large new projects and chasing up some interesting new business in Europe, the U.S. and Asia all at the same […]
I saw The Lucksmiths in Bellingham, WA this weekend. Very cool tunes. I don’t really know enough about music to classify what kind it is…but I know I liked it lot. Good time.
I’m not one to complain about clothes let alone shoes. Websites on the other hand I have lots of opinions.
Those who know me know that in general its hard to get me out of jeans and sneakers…that said the ones I do wear I wear a lot and really like. I like Camper […]
I Quit, I Think
“Government schooling is the most radical adventure in history. It kills the family by monopolizing the best times of childhood and by teaching disrespect for home and parents. The whole blueprint of school procedure is Egyptian, not Greek or Roman. It grows from the theological idea that human value is a scarce […]
SearchGoogle Service
“A simple background service to allow you to select text in (nearly) any application and press “Shift-Apple-G” to launch a Google search for that text. This release is context aware. When you select text from Project Builder, a browser opens up searching developer.apple.com instead of Google. You can define your own contexts (application-grain) and […]
Business Lessons From The Donut And Coffee Guy
“If you were the CEO of a big business — say, a movie studio, music company, or multinational bank — you’d have been tearing your hair out at this scene. He lets his customers make their own change?!?!! How does he know they’re making the correct change? Or […]
My Mom was pointing out that the volume of posting amongst my friends has gone down lately. Must be the summer heat but some are posting here and there…check out Randy’s site, or Kevin’s trip through Europe and of course Ryan’s got one more exam to go. (Thanks for fixing my blog by […]
How To Hack An Election?
“How to hack an election in a few easy steps. I can’t believe the fate of our country is in some shoddy VB/Access application. Absolutely pathetic.”
Got some great news at work this week. We have the chance to do a project for a major international customer. Thanks to everyone who continues to believe in us and support our company.
How Brazil (movie that is)
Aaaaiiiieeee!
“Microsoft has apparently decided that there’s not much more they can do with the Web browser. How wrong can one company be?! Well, I can no longer sit around and wait for them to upgrade their entire operating system before I change a few defaults on my PC. Am I straying from the flock? Kinda, […]
Kevin is in Pamplona for the running of the bulls.
Weird, so very weird…Spray-On Jockstrap
For my friend Grant…
More bitching please
“I set up bitchaboutstuff.com so people could bitch anonymously about stuff. My cunning plan is that if enough people bitch, I can bitch too, and my bitching will not stand out. Please take this opportunity to rant about the things…”

There was a massive fire today (news story here) about two blocks from our office. My office has been smelling like smoke all day (not to mention my clothes from when I walked near the fire on my way to work). You can actually see the tower we are in in the last […]
Two posts in one day. Very cool.
