This is more rant than anything, but I’ve been working all day so I need to decompress. For some reason I was contemplating the software I would immediately re-install if I had a catastrophic failure. From there, I thought about the quality of that software. Then I started looking at some basic stuff, like how […]
However, on religious issues there can be little or no compromise. There is no position on which people are so immovable as their religious beliefs. There is no more powerful ally one can claim in a debate than Jesus Christ, or God, or Allah, or whatever one calls this supreme being. But like any powerful […]
Like I need to cram more stuff in what has to be an already over-heated box, but this 20-in-1 panel fits into a standard 5.25″ drive bay. All the I/O you could want. Link [via Boing Boing]
Then don’t vote for Rick Santorum. This idiot introduced a bill that’s just vague enough that the National Weather Service (you know, the one that’s tax-funded) might have to take itself offline. I’m not going to quote the article because you need to read the whole thing. The quotes from Barry Myers, Executive Vice President […]
Ok, this post is a little of me bragging, which I’m a little worried about doing. But, I have a greater point, so you’ll have to bear with the bragging. I got a phone call today from someone at MadCap software Now that that’s out of the way, I can get on with the point. […]
Since someone in this household is playing the crap out of this game right now, I thought this might be interesting reading. The New York Times has a very interesting piece on the invented language of Tho Fan for Jade Empire. The 2,500-word language was created in four months for about $2,000 by University of […]

Cool things starting to happen at Flickr now that they have Yahoo! money to burn. They’ve doubled the free account upload amount and doubled the number of photos in the stream. Pro accounts got an extension on their payments (basically doubling their contract lives), and new Pro accounts get more uploads (2 gigs) at half […]
Apparently they elected a Pope today. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, will lead about a billion Catholics… well, we don’t know where. Sounds like he won’t be around long, as he’s 78. The prophecy draws nearer! Many laugh at St. Malachy’s Prophecy (with good reason), but Ratzinger took the name Benedict, a nod […]
I don’t know how I feel about this, but Adobe and Macromedia announced that Adobe was buying Macromedia for around 3.4 billion. My gut reaction is that this could be very bad for the design market as these two companies were basically direct competitors. I keep thinking how much I disliked Go Live versus Dreamweaver […]
