    Yay. I’ve been waiting a long time for this. It really helps when you use different devices, or computers for me, to check email.

    Go to Flickr and sign up for a new account with a Verizon/SBC/AT&T e-mail address (e.g. *@sbcglobal.net for me). Current members have to “merge their account” by changing the e-mail address to an AT&T one and you should get Pro access for free for as long as you keep your dsl account! I love free…

    You’ve probably already seen this, but it looks like the worker bees over at google have been having a little fun: go to www.google.com/maps click on maps. click on the “get directions” type “New York, NY” in the first box (the “from” box) type “Paris, France” in the second box (the “to” box) click on…

    After my summer project last year, my team coerced me into get a Facebook.  I feel so old there, but it’s been helpful in keeping me in touch with people.  Good thing I never got into myspace or Friendster.  I really don’t care about those things.  But Virb looks neat, so I gave it a…

    No, it wasn’t snowing, but it sure looked like it was. Now that’s the way to spend Valentine’s Day: whacking the heck outta the people around you. I’ve got feathers in places you don’t wanna know. Check out more photos at flickr.

    Look, these are only $30 on Amazon! I posted about them back in November. I gotta stop looking at all these deals. I've been buying online too much. Online shopping is addicting! I've also been sharing some of the deals at the bottom of this page. People have been asking me where I find them.…

    Anyone want $136 and a job as a corpse on CSI? Laying flat on your back, not moving or breathing, staring unblinking at the ceiling…no thanks. +- Every time I see a commercial for these Roomba things, I want to get one. I wonder if it really works. I'd let it loose in my living…

    Hmm, my page had a breakdown yesterday.  The only thing that would load was the background.  I contacted Dreamhost and they fixed it.  Apparently there’s some trouble with wp-cache turned on when you upgrade to PHP 5.1.2.  Now if only I can get my page to load faster…WordPress plays kinda slow with Dreamhost. +- Look,…

    Thanksgiving should be spent with family at home, not at the ER.  That's where my dad went for a few hours today because of heart palpitations.  Things are fine now, but I'm glad he's ok and that my mom's ok as well.  I always say you can tell how she's doing, healthwise, by how much…

    It's only Monday, which means we've got a lot of time to waste before it's Friday. Ha! You can make your own fake official seal (is that an oxymoron or what?) with the Official Seal Generator.  You can choose your text, graphic, and colors.  Pointless, but somewhat fun.

    Been playing around with another photoblog plugin for WordPress.  Still a lot of things I need to figure out, so we’ll see if I stick with this one. So this site is once again what they call fluid.  All the columns should be pretty flexible now, and adjusts to the size of the browser window,…

    The layout for this summer (2006) has highlighted my pictures, and my writing (or what there is of it) has taken a back seat here. I’m trying to figure a layout that can support both pictures and text. Too bad I don’t have much time for anything, but we’ll see.

    For Joey: the World Cup blog.  This is one of the few sports that I never really learned how to play.  Maybe it’s for the better because I can’t do too many things with my feet at one time.
