Why I don’t get my hopes up about CSS3
If today I could use CSS3 on every site I built, it would be a dream come true, but the fact of the matter is that I can’t. That is to say, that I can’t rely on it. The reason is due to browser support and market share.
On this site, almost everything is CSS and CSS2. I don’t use CSS3 commonl…
5 things I’d Like to see the iPhone Do
1. Wirelessly synch with my computer
Why would that be so difficult? Zune does it. The Things app for the iPhone even does it, but the iPhone doesn’t natively do that? I just don’t understand why not.
2. Update my podcasts automatically
Why not?
3. Pair to a bluetooth keyboard
As much as I l…
All in Favor of Daylight Saving Time…
Get up an hour earlier.
I mean really. I don’t care if it’s a little darker in the morning, it means my daughter will sleep longer. She went from normally getting up at around 7:30-8am, to now 6:30-7am. That’s a big difference in my body clock. As soon as I get home from work now itR…
Hey Xbox, how about a helpful feature?
Every year Xbox announces new features to the dashboard, and each year, there are several that are fairly useless. So this year they announced Project Natal (google it, I don’t feel like making a link) and Social Media integration. Project Natal, a motion sensing technology, is pretty cool.…

Beautiful landscapes
Fully destructible environments
Selection of Tank, Jeep, Airplane and Boats to drive
Unlimited Ammo

Fights break out between two ethnic groups in China
North Korea launches 4 short-range missiles in ‘provocative’ test

Dialogue with an Idiot
I haven’t been to Burger King in literally 2 years. The last time I went, they didn’t have Chicken Fries…instead, they had “Chicken Tenders” — so obviously I was curious what was with these chicken fries. This is the conversation that followed; verbatim.

You’ve gotta be kidding me…
I have a digital TV tuner box, but the problem with the DTV signal is that if it’s unclear, you can’t watch TV, and since my antenna is REALLY crappy, I sometimes watch TV in analog mode. Well, our local news station 13 really wants to encourage people to make the switch. The picture below is…
If you believe in Freedom
For anyone who stumbled here and doesn’t know me, let me say right now that I am a Christian. I believe that Jesus’ teachings and the life he modeled for us are the key to the salvation of the world in every sense. I’m more of a conservative than a moderate, I didn’t vote for Obam…
