Upgraded to WordPress 2.3 Smoothly

26 Sep, 2007

I took the jump to WordPress 2.3 tonight and I don’t seem to see any issues. Do you see any? If you do, post them below or email them to me. The upgrade was painless and all my Ultimate Tag Warrior tags imported beautifully. Thanks to LifeSpy for the run down on how-to get them […]

iPod touch Should Be iPod PDA!

5 Sep, 2007

With Apple’s new announcement of iPod touch, I’m ready to buy! (Wife, ignore that.) iPod touch is basically an iPhone without the phone. Perfect for me as I don’t want to go with ATT. It has a multi touch interface, Wi-Fi and iTunes Store on the iPod! I think I’m in love. Even better yet, […]

I love & hate CSS.

4 Sep, 2007

I love CSS, but yet I hate it to. For some reason, the same code can’t work in all browsers. And I’m not just complaining about the non-standards compliant Internet Explorer (all versions) but I’m finding minor differences in different versions of Firefox. How is that possible?!! Getting everything to line up just seems to […]

Back from SES in San Jose

24 Aug, 2007

I’m working on catching up on all my emails and feed reading since my SES San Jose trip. It was a lot of fun and educational too. 🙂 Here are some visuals: Refreshments Networking Partying at the Google Dance at Google’s Offices Inside the Googleplex looking for ranking insider tips or Matt Cutts.

Off to SES San Jose

19 Aug, 2007

I’m off to SES San Jose for the week. If I don’t make any posts, you’ll know why. If you happen to be out at the search engine strategies conference, keep an eye out for me and say HI! You’ll be able to notice me with my shinny new MacBook Pro! 😀

Taking Pictures of Lightning

13 Aug, 2007

When severe storms rolled into my hometown of Chatfield the other night, they can with a great lightning show. So, I decided to try and catch some action on my camera. Now, I’ve tried this before and it’s not an easy task unless your camera is setup to automatically take a picture every few seconds. […]

What’s wrong with this picture?

3 Aug, 2007

This is our backyard, can you tell what’s wrong with this picture? // Image lost. Sorry. Zooomr ate it. // What if I said I live in Minnesota? What if I said we are in the mist of a severe drought? For some reason, there are parts of our lawn that are bright green and […]

Unimaginable – 35W Bridge Collapses

1 Aug, 2007

Tonight, just after 6pm, the interstate 35W bridge collapsed into the Mississippi river in Minneapolis. Please keep those affected in your thoughts and prayers. I once lived just a few miles from that bridge and drove it quite often. It’s hard to believe that it’s now gone.

Renegade Rollercoaster Rocks

30 Jul, 2007

We visited Valleyfair for the first time this weekend in about two years and tested out some of the new rides. Much to our surprise, the new wooden rollercoaster Renegade is awesome! Now, I’m not tying to say that I thought Renegade wasn’t going to be good. It just wasn’t that tall and you didn’t […]

One Week With My Microsoft 5000 Mouse

27 Jul, 2007

When my Mighty Mouse stopped scrolling down, I was sad. When I broke it trying to clean it, I was depressed. But now I have a Microsoft Wireless 5000 Laser mouse and I’m pretty happy once again. I’ve never been a Microsoft Fan. I refuse to install Word or Excel on my iMac and, come […]
