Okay, this will permanently brand me as the geekiest dork ever (I fully expect a “geek” comment from Shannon), but perusing WinAmp’s SHOUTcast Radio list today, I found the ultimate station: …wait for it… Commodore 64 remixes. From SLAY Radio. Yes, you read that correctly. Commodore 64 remixes. I’ve been letting it play in the… Continue reading Geekiest. Music. Ever.

Master Builder user interface – poor
A couple of months ago I blogged a bit about Intuit Master Builder software and some of the problems that come with it. One of the things I wrote was, “It’s got a low barrier-to-entry user interface that makes it easy to learn and use for non techie types.” While that statement is (for the… Continue reading Master Builder user interface – poor
The Ultimate Star Trek Collection
This is one of those over-the-top, for-the-person-who-has-everything, I-have-too-much-disposable-income type of things: The Ultimate Star Trek Collection on Amazon. It’s insane: 212 discs All 5 TV series All 10 movies Commentary, interviews, documentaries, featurettes, deleted scenes, trailers, and more All for the whopping-low price of $2,499.99! What a deal! Especially since you save $1,409.
Peanuts philosophy
This panel from my daily Peanuts calendar struck me as being pretty philosophically deep for Charlie Brown.

Dancing Transformer goodness
I had to link to this video just because it’s so cool. (“Cool” in a geeky way.)

If ever there’s a live action Transformers movie, I’d hope it’s this… Continue reading Dancing Transformer goodness
One big reason to never visit Kansas
The Kansas Board of Education has approved new school standards that promote and teach so-called “intelligent design.” Wow; I don’t even have the words, so I’ll quote the article… “This is a sad day. We’re becoming a laughingstock of not only the nation, but of the world, and I hate that,” said board member Janet… Continue reading One big reason to never visit Kansas

I’m no longer cutting edge on PHP
I just realized this; I haven’t used PHP 5 at all since it came out, so I’m terribly illiterate about this latest version of PHP. I still use PHP 4. That means I’m no longer cutting edge on PHP! Or maybe that just means I’m no longer bleeding edge, since PHP 5 adoption has been… Continue reading I’m no longer cutting edge on PHP
National Novel Writing Month
Today is the first day of National Novel Writing Month. Write a 50,000-word (or more) novel in 30 days. I like the concept on this. And I’m tempted to take a crack at it, if for no other reason than cachet-factor. I’d post the efforts to the blog, of course, otherwise, where’s the love? Valuing… Continue reading National Novel Writing Month
