Taylor Hicks Wins – So What

24 May, 2006

Well Taylor Hicks did it. The guy who looked 40 and acted 18 won American Idol. But what kind of album will he make? Can he succeed on the radio? Don’t get me wrong, he’s a good guy who is talented, but I’m having a hard time seeing him being truly successful. Taylor wasn’t my […]

Skype To Wireless & Land Lines Free

15 May, 2006

Skype has announced that, until the end of the year, you can use Skype to any phone in the US or Canada for free! I tried it with my cell and it worked, but I didn’t talk to myself. But it also didn’t charge me or ask for money. Sweet! This means that tomorrow night, […]

Poseidon at the IMAX

15 May, 2006

On Saturday we checked out Poseidon, not just at the movie theater but at the IMAX. IMAX movies are presented on a 3 story tall screen with a six-channel digital sound system that can’t be found anywhere else. It uses film which is 10x larger than standard movie theaters to bring incredible sharpness and clarity […]

My Sharks Mate A Lot

14 May, 2006

It’s true. I started with two sharks and now I’m up to 11! To clarify, I got a great application called Fish. I realized I hadn’t tried it out since I got my sweet new machine. It runs so much better than on my previous machine. Fish is a virtual aquarium. It allows me to […]

Browsing with Opera 9 Beta

12 May, 2006

I’ve recently started checking out Opera 9 Beta I’m not sure why I stumbled across it but I have to say, it’s quite a nice browser. Now I’m a Firefox guy and there are to many good features to pass up, but Opera is pretty slick too. They’ve added support for WYSIWYG editors like those […]

Netvibes – A Great Web Portal

1 May, 2006

Last week I did a short review on web portals. Granted, I did forget Pagefakes which appears to be very cool. It has a full array of widgets along with most of the functionality I wanted, however it lacks POP/IMAP email integration. But it’s coming…. soon or so they say. However, a few days ago […]

Yahoo Site Explorer Lies

28 Apr, 2006

I’m not sure for how long, but I run a bunch of sites though Yahoo Site Explorer each month to track inlinks and indexed pages and this month my numbers were way off from previous months. It seems, that by default, Yahoo Site Explorer is setup to count inlinks from all URLs (including the one […]

Cool Web Portals

26 Apr, 2006

I’ve recently began researching web portals. I haven’t been a big fan of them in the past, but I’ve started to get back into them a little more. It’s just nice haveing a one stop site to get the latest news via RSS, email, the weather and photos. So I decided to see what was […]

Brokeback Mountain is Horrible

16 Apr, 2006

We just finished watching Brokeback Mountain and it’s one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. I can get over the gay love story but what I can’t get over is it’s a SLOW movie that goes nowhere. Ten minutes into the movie and not one word was spoken. And it never picks up. We […]

Get AppZapper Free!

3 Apr, 2006

A truly great offer! Ok so it’s PR, link bait, scheme or whatever you wanna call it but MacZOT asked for 259 bloggers to mention AppZapper in their blog, with a link to MacZOT.com, and then they’d discount the price of the application by 5 cents. If they got 259 posts, the application will be […]
