AJAX – It's For More Than Cleaning

May

2006

I have to admit that I've been getting really curious about all the AJAX technology going on around the web (there's just some dang cool stuff you can do with it), and I think I'm going to give it a shot soon. I've already been wanting to try and redo the photos page because it's ...

The Dog In The Oven

May

2006

Shortly before we were heading to bed last night, Jake hopped off of our couch and started walking tenatively into the kitchen where the light was turned off. He was walking towards our oven, which has the standard black glass front to it. As he got closer, he started to growl (and much deeper than ...

Doggie Update

May

2006

One weekend in and we seem to already have grown close to Jake's heart. He's been behaving very well and even picked up on a few commands. Heck, he even seems to be housetrained as we've had no accidents at all. Today's his first long day by himself with both Marci and I working, so ...

Welcome Home Jake!

May

2006

A big welcome home to our new dog Jake! He's a 1-and-a-half-year-old Jack Russell Terrier we brought home from the Western PA Humane Society this evening. He's pretty mellow so far, like he was when we visited him yesterday, but today it might be because he was put under to be neutered today ...

Fun Links

May

2006

Just a few interesting links today: The RAV4EV, and electric car made in 2003 that got the equivalent of 166 MPG, had decent range, could travel at least 75 MPH, and didn't make people think you were gay. There's a new Web2.0 application coming along called eBible. It's in beta testing right now, but it ...

Busy Few Days

May

2006

Boy, it seems like it's been a busy few days. Let's recap, shall we? Work – Work has been crazy the last week as I've been learning our old system in order to add a new client. It's the same reason I spent Saturday working, and it's just drained me a bit. Haven't been too ...

The Real Mission Impossible

May

2006

Your mission, should you choose to accept it: Make a movie that is actually worth the $9 I'd have to pay and go see. When you make a movie that isn't worth that, then don't complain that people like me didn't go see it. This industry will self-destruct in 10 years. This has always been ...

Saturday Afternoon Fun

May

2006

Still at work! However, I've finished most of what I need to do. I just need to stick around for “support” in case anything goes wrong while others are doing testing. It's days like today that are motivators to strive towards self-employment. At least then I'd get something out of putting in these extra hours. ...

Saturday Morning Fun!

May

2006

Here it is, a nice spring morning and I'm at WORK! Yea, it's a bit frustrating at times, but when things need to be done, they need to be done. Wouldn't want to company going under because we don't meet a deadline, ya know? At least my boss pitched in for breakfast! Anyway, last night ...

The Plethora Of Online Tools

May

2006

What tools do you use online? With the explosion of web 2.0, it's easy to get lost amongst the commotion. There are new web applications for doing almost anything you'd like to do, but it's almost impossible to keep track of them all with new ones popping up each day (or is that hour) and ...
