Pay by Fingerprint

  • 4 Dec, 2005

We were at a local Cub grocery store yesterday and they now have the ability to pay by fingerprint! Skip the cash, checks and credit cards, just use the ID that God gave you. Now I’m not one to run and try this technology out as it’s a little early in the adoption stages, but […]

  • 2 Dec, 2005

Statler & Waldorf From the Balcony is a podcast (and web show) that reviews the latest new movie releases in Muppet style. I just discovered it and it’s very cool.

Prefetching with Fasterfox is Bad

  • 1 Dec, 2005

It’s come to my attention that prefetching with the Firefox extension Fasterfox could be bad and causing extra strain on yours, and other peoples, webserver and possibly pocketbook! Fasterfox, in essence, is a prefetcher. It reads the page you are currently browsing and attempts to download all of the other pages being linked to. When […]

I’ve been running Firefox 1.5 all day on my iMac G5 and the update hasn’t disappointed me at all. Here are a few of the new things I’ve noticed, good and bad. Fancy installer (dmg) on the Mac. Start up is slow the first time, but that’s because it’s upgrading everything. Be patient and let […]

Sage RSS Reader Gets Style

  • 29 Nov, 2005

My favorite RSS reader is Sage, an extension for Firefox. Sage is built into my browser and integrates quite well. The only things I don’t like abut Sage is it’s look. Up until now I’ve been using Jon Hicks custom style sheet and icon, but I’ve found a new resource. The other day I noticed […]

Welcome Winter? Maybe.

  • 29 Nov, 2005

Winter has arrived for the third time this year. Yes, third time. It seems that after the last two times the temps skyrocketed and we lost our snow. So we are trying again. Yesterday it was in the low 50s and it rained and even thundered all day long. Today it’s around 20 and snowing. […]

St Louis, Arkansas and Back

  • 26 Nov, 2005

We are back and ever so happy to be. Our vacation was good but it really makes you like being home when you get back. St. Louis is a great town. We didn’t spend much time in the actual city, but rather an hour outside. However we did make it in on a few occasions. […]
