I know that I don’t write to often but May seemed to be turning into a month where I was going to be posting for about 3-4 times per week; way above my average.  Between May 1 and May 13, I posted 7 times.  Then came WicketPixe, the new WordPress theme that Chris and his [...]

A couple of weeks ago I was at my local Staples store and saw a great deal for blank DVD-R discs. In the past I used to purchase my discs over the Internet but it started to become a hassle. This was especially true when shipping was added to the overall cost ended up being [...]

I don’t know how many of you actually go to Slashdot.org.
