What Do You Want to be When You Grow Up?

February 29th, 2008 No Comments

My Nephew’s preschool class recent took a field trip to a local store. They went to the bakery and saw the big mixers and how donuts are made. They toured the meat section where they had some interesting machines and I am sure the rest of the store. Gadgets have an effect [...]

Kill Internet Explorer With CSS

February 27th, 2008 No Comments

We got a call today at The Plan Collection that was interesting. A guy was trying to print out one of our pages. Each time he tried his browser would crash. At first I thought, “that is just nuts. Html can’t crash your browser.” Then Jake tried it and it [...]

Cache County Library System

February 27th, 2008 No Comments

Right now in Cache County each city has its own library system and citizens of one city are not allowed to checkout books from a library in another city unless they pay for a very expensive library card. This is unfortunate as it creates a barrier to information for those who really need it. [...]

February 26th, 2008 No Comments

Most of the cool photos you see are manipulated via photoshop these days. Miss Palmen, a 44-year-old Dutch artist, creates her art the old fashion way and the results are amazing.

This is sad news for Utahns. Snelgrove ice cream is going away. When I was a kid I always loved caramel cashew. My grandfather used to buy it on their trips to Salt Lake City and carry it home in an ice chest with dry ice in it. They have been [...]

Wife Got a Temporary

February 23rd, 2008 No Comments

Every three months my wife spends $60 bucks on this nasty smelly treatment called a ‘permanent’. It makes your hair curly. My question is, even though at three months it outlasts most celebrity marriages can it really be a called a ‘permanent’. Shouldn’t it be called a ‘temporary’?

2008 Tour de France - Don’t Watch It

February 23rd, 2008 No Comments

As long as I am ranting about everything under the sun I may as well add the Tour de France to the list. This year they have banned Team Astana from participating. The result of this action is that Alberto Contador and Levi Leipheimer, last years 1st and 3rd place finishers won’t be [...]

Mozy.com’s Backup Software is Shit

February 22nd, 2008 55 Comments

Yes you read that right. I used to love this company. The concept is great - backup your data online for dirt cheap. Install the software and away you go. They backup everything and even encrypt your data for security. You get cheap backups and they get a little bit [...]
