A resolution for all

Prompted by a discussion (hopefully my last comment will appear soon enough) I had on another website regarding web design (specifically, one I did not care for), I began to think about screen resolution. I remember months ago when some bloggers started talking about dropping support for smaller screen sizes because they just weren’t showing [...]

Those ironic sunglasses

Every so often on Mondays I forget to browse through the TV listings and accidentally end up watching CSI: Miami. Having caught a few episodes I can say, without any doubt, that it is the absolute worst show ever. Seriously, how the hell has this horrid piece of crap made it four seasons - especially [...]

So much to say

Things I want to write about when I get home tonight:

Seeing She Wants Revenge at Irving Plaza with Jeff and Sara
Seeing Franz Ferdinand and Death Cab for Cutie at the Tweeter Center with Jeff, Sara, Chris, and Mark
I really should mention how great the Billy Joel Concert a few weeks ago - is that enough?
Progress [...]

Credit, where credit is due

A few weeks ago I managed to pick up some Pearl Jam tickets directly from TicketBastard, since I missed out on the fan club pre-sale for the second show. The experience isn’t alltogether painful as their servers have the common courtesy to not lose cookies or randomly crash in the middle of large rushes for [...]

Dual boot future

Talk about a one-blog-mind - the first three posts from my regular feeds today were all the same. This has definitely peaked my curiosity. It is now a very real possibility that I would consider buying a Mac somewhere down the line. I’ve said plenty of times that I was interested in OS X, but [...]

What the hell was that?

Alrighty, listen up, I’m not about to freak out because it’s snowing snowed in April. I’ve seen weird and wacky weather enough the past few years to get over that. But the manner in which the precipitation transpired this morning was just WAY over the top.
When I first got up, I rushed to take the [...]

Through the looking glass

For those of you who shoot with Canon SLRs, you know that “L” glass lenses are the shiznit. Seriously, they’re the kind that everybody drools over while wishing with all of your might that the price tag will just magically disappear - or at least move the decimal over to the left a little. In [...]

Eagles hit the big time

Remember that webcam I mentioned last week? It got so popular so fast, they’ve already redesigned a “proper” front page, added forums, put up some ads, and hinted at a “premium” feed option in the future. Amazingly, there seems to be no grousing over the idea that these people can’t do this for free. In [...]

New health insurance… not!

My boss sent out this e-mail over the weekend:
We are in the process of initiating a new improved health care plan. It is called Health Cash Plus and this is how it will work.
You go to any doctor or health care facility you want, anywhere in the world. When the bill comes, you [...]
