Strong Bad Blog and a Shredder

  • 20 Apr, 2005

Since I’ve been busy busy on other projects lately, I thought I’d post quickly today with some random news. First, I wrote Strong Bad and asked him if he, or Homestar, had a blog yet. I think it’d be very amusing and then I could just subscribe via RSS instead of actually going to the […]

Adobe to Acquire Macromedia!

  • 18 Apr, 2005

I’m completely shocked. Adobe will be buying Macromedia! Two of the biggest web applications companies out there. I have long since chosen Macromedia products over Adobe, and now I fear for the futures of Dreamweaver and Fireworks. I’m unsure of what the future will bring, but I’m worried that, without competition, Adobe could take the […]

Whippy Dip

Over the weekend we went down to see a friend get married in Iowa and it was a very nice wedding. Congratulations Kurt and Lora!! On our way back we got to stop at Whippy Dip on Decorah, IA. It’s like a Dairy Queen only better and cheaper! If you go to Decorah, go to […]

What is RSS? – A Non Technical Intro

  • 15 Apr, 2005

There has been a lot of talk in the web world about RSS lately and there are lots of sites that tell you what it is, however I’m going to try and explain it in an easy to understand way. RSS, Really Simple Syndication, is a way for a web site to condense their content, […]

Jeff’s Auto Service – Hopkins MN

  • 12 Apr, 2005

What a day. When I tried to start my car this morning it wouldn’t. It would turn over but not start. I then called my brother and he asked me a few questions then decided that I flooded it and told me to try again later. I then got out of my car when I […]

With all the excitement of my car spewing gas and all, I almost missed finding out that Mac OS X 10.4 is shipping at the end of the month! With over 200 new features, I’m all excited. More details later, as I don’t have time now.

Norwegian Jake’s – Backpack Lunches

  • 11 Apr, 2005

While at Target the other day my wife came across Norwegian Jake’s Backpack Lunches and these things are sweet. In one package you get two wraps complete with mayo, cheese, meet, and mustard. You also get a mini water, spoon, napkin, moist towelette and a candy bar. Everything is individually wrapped and you build it […]

Blocking Referrer Spam Success!

  • 10 Apr, 2005

I’ve been going nuts trying to find a way to stop, or block, referrer spam. And I’m having success! Referrer Karma does the trick. I had issues with it at first because I also had referrer bouncer enabled and they were not working well together. Now I just have referrer karma and the referrer spam […]

Cookie Monster Made Me Fat!

  • 9 Apr, 2005

It’s sad but it’s true. Sesame Street’s Cookie Monster has to change his song so he doesn’t make kids fat. His “C is for cookie” song has been replaced with “A Cookie Is a Sometimes Food.” How lame. I find it very sad that Cookie Monster has to change his tune and I think people […]

Blogs are like email, gotta try them all.

  • 8 Apr, 2005

I’ve decided that blogs are becoming like email. Everyone is giving out free accounts and it seems like there is always a new feature at one that another doesn’t have. So I end up having many different blogs where I play for a while and then forget about. I’ve tried Blogger, TypePad, WordPress, some SEO […]
