MySpace Phenomenon

  • 18 Feb, 2006

I was watching the local morning news and they were talking about how popular MySpace has become.  To me, I don’t really get it. I have tried MySpace and I didn’t feel it was easy to use or that great.  But, then again, maybe I’m just use to the way other sites work as I’ve […]

BurgerTime – Intellivision Game

  • 15 Feb, 2006

Way back in the day there was a great game called BurgerTime for a video game system called Intellivision. The idea was that you were a cook and had to make burgers. Basically, just run across the ingredients (bun, lettuce & patty) to make them fall down and create a burger. But, be careful of […]

Enhanced Fujita (EF) Tornado Scale

  • 13 Feb, 2006

Starting this year, the NOAA National Weather Service is upgrading the old Fujita (F) tornado rating system to Enhanced Fujita (EF). What’s this mean?

iPox 0.4 – Buttons!

  • 10 Feb, 2006

iPox 0.4 is getting released today! I have now themed all the default Firefox toolbar icons. I’m not 100% satisfied with them, but they work pretty good for now. I even added a mouse over state to each one. Rollover the back button, or any button, and it’ll highlight blue. I haven’t really checked much […]

Butler IS Mac Productivity

  • 9 Feb, 2006

I’ve had Butler on my machine at work for a while but I really haven’t started using it until about a month ago and am I ever impressed. It has brought a whole new level of productivity to my day and I’m still learning the ins and outs. Here is a screen shot of my […]

InLine Spell Check for Firefox

  • 3 Feb, 2006

It’s true, there is support for inline spell check in Firefox! When I upgraded Firefox yesterday my SpellBound didn’t work so I did a little searching and found the developers preview of SpellBound. Not only did it work in Firefox 1.5.0.1 but it came with a new feature; inline spell check! Now, just like Thunderbird, […]
