Just finished up a four day training session down in the beautiful town of Laguna Beach. I was sent down there by my day job to learn an open source content management system called Magnolia. I admit that getting training for a free tool that you can browse through the source to understand […]

You put H2O2 Where?!
OK let me just give a little warning up front in case you are eating your lunch: this monologue may be under the disgusting category for you. If you aren’t eating or not easily phased then read on.
Our youngest has been tugging at his ear, and that usually indicates some sort of infection. […]
Murphy’s Law
I never knew where Murphy’s Law came from until I read this. It has some interesting thoughts further down, relating paradoxes that occur due to the law combined with other similar “laws”. It also pointed to Hanlon’s Razor which has a couple of funny quotes, one by Albert Einstein and another by Elbert […]
After all these years I’ve still got it!
Hmmm, I was going to start out saying: “when I was a kid…” but I seem to do that alot. I can recall when I was a young lad on the occasions that my mom had me set the table that it could be vexing for me. We had these cool plates, cups […]
Almond Butter & Dates
I believe that I have a sugar addiction. While my metabolism is fast enough that it doesn’t effect my weight I’ve been doing a study of my person over the past month and the effect sugar has on it. I was disheartened to see how negatively sugar effects me. I’ve also noticed how […]
Balm for your RFID Paranoia
For some reason the concept of RFID tags scares me. Maybe it is something that came from finding aspects of George Orwell’s 1984 possible. It seems that it isn’t coming about through government but through businesses trying to extract as much capital from their “customers” as possible. I was glad to see […]
Zip Decoder
I came across a programming language that I hadn’t heard of before: processing. I haven’t looked real in depth into the language structure but sounds like it is a high level language, overlaid on a java implementation (I’m assuming to give it cross platform capabilities). The thing that caught my eye about it […]
Fun Science Projects
I always enjoy doing science projects with my kids because I get to see the excitement of discovering something new in them. I came across a site that I believe I will be frequenting to find new experiments that we can do: Sci-toys.com looks like lots of fun.
Alessi “Tondo” Watch 7003
I enjoy watches and the various designs that exist out there for them. I just came across one that is reasonably priced and an elegant design: The Alessi “Tondo” Watch 7003. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a cleaner design for a watch. If you’re ever wondering to get me as […]
Bound for Glory
Over the past few years I’ve enjoyed reading my father’s history as he ties in so many layers of history to his own. Sort of in the spirit of the historical fiction of Forrest Gump, but not fiction and definitely more in depth. I came across this on Digg today and thought it […]
