What Has Blogging Given Me?

19 Dec, 2006

A while ago, Just Shattuck posted a topic about what blogging has given him. At the end, he poked me to do the same. Even though I’m a bit slow, I’m still going to respond. 🙂 Blogging has given me quite a bit. It gives me the chance to get my voice heard. Some of […]

Still No Nintendo Wii For Us

17 Dec, 2006

We struck out once again when trying to get a Nintendo Wii. We heard Target was getting a shipment today, Sunday, so we got up at 5am and got to Target by 6. Already there were over 30 people in line and some had been there since midnight. At 7 they handed out tickets, however […]

MacHeist – I gave in and got great software.

16 Dec, 2006

MacHeist has been giving quite the software deal for the past week. I’ve been intregued, but I haven’t bougt it. Until this morning. I was reading how MacHeist gives 25% to charity and has raised over $100,000 already. Between the 25% that goes to charity and the amazing 85% off software package, I couldn’t resist […]

Logo Design At It’s Best – Or Not

14 Dec, 2006

One of the best comics around is Dilbert. If you work in an office place, you will probably find it quite humorous. They play off stereotypes and worse case scenarios quite often and it’s just funny. Most employees have had a time when someone comes in and ‘simplifies’ their job. It’s bound to happen and […]

Midwest Tour Included Thai and Greek Food

10 Dec, 2006

One good thing, or bad depending on how it turns out, is that when I go to conferences, I’ll go pretty much anywhere the group goes. Get a bunch of different and you never know where you’ll end up. While at SES in Chicago I found myself at two restaurants I wouldn’t normally try. The […]

Midwest Tour Continues

3 Dec, 2006

I feel like I’m on a tour of the Midwest. We left out Minneapolis home on Friday and traveled to Iowa City for my wife’s family Christmas. It was a great time and we had lots of good food. As soon as that was over we drove back to Minneapolis and I hopped a plain […]

Themes Bug Tracker Online

27 Nov, 2006

I’ve started a bug tracker application to keep all the bugs, and feature requests, for my Firefox themes in one place. My goal is to not miss out on any requests. Check out the full bug tracker or the quick submit bug form. Basically, just fill in a few fields, hit submit and I’ll be […]

Tinseltown Feedback and Exposure

25 Nov, 2006

In less than one week, Tinseltown has exceeded my expectations and has been getting rave reviews. Mozilla reports that Tinseltown has gotten over 35,000 downloads in just 5 days. Checking out the comments left on the Mozilla page, there are no major issues (except for some flavors of Linux which I’m working on) and a […]

Wii + Amazon = Disappointment

19 Nov, 2006

It’s now 2:45am CST and I’ve been on Amazon.com hitting refresh for the past hour. Still, no Wii’s for sale. There are a lot of angry customers and I’m more disappointed than angry. In their defense, their email did say that they would go on sale the morning of the 19th, but no specific time […]

PS3 today Wii Sunday

17 Nov, 2006

Well it’s the big day for a lot of gaming fans as Playstation 3 arrives on store shelves. What’s so great about PS3? Why does it cost $500+?! I guess I’m out of the loop on that one. For me and my wife, we are big Nintendo fans and are going to try and get […]
