Failure

I recently upgraded to the latest version of OS X, 10.6.1 and ever since then I have been having problems with sites that use Adobe’s Flash software. The problem isn’t isolated to a few specific sites, it is every site that uses Flash. I have tried with Safari, Opera, and Firefox and they all have [...]

Read this on Gawker and it got me thinking.  I’ve gotten quite a few requests recently by people wanting me to follow them on Twitter; most of those requests have come from questionable accounts - basically people with a single post directing me to click on a link to a website.  Of course I never [...]

I took my son to the doctor’s office today for his 1 year shots, he has to have 7 shots between 12 months old and 15 months old.  They break the shots up into two groups, one with three shots and one with four shots, not that big of a deal and it is something [...]

I received a letter today from the National Republican Committee which contained an official “GOP census document” which was “assigned and prepared especially for you as a representative of all Republicans living in your voting district.”  The letter claims to be working to build a grassroots consensus on what they should be doing as a [...]

Time Warner Cable recently backed off of their plan to enforce a 40GB cap on customers in the Austin/San Antonio area after negative publicity made them think twice.  However, they haven’t abandoned it entirely yet - instead insisting that they would continue to “educate” their customers about bandwidth usage and continue on the path of [...]

It recently came out that CNN’s ratings put it in fourth place behind Fox News, MSNBC, and even CNN’s own Headline News for a good portion of the week.  But why has CNN fallen so far?  They claim to be the only network that tries to be unbiased in its reporting and they certainly haven’t [...]

The Congress recently voted to tax the AIG bonuses at 90 percent, effectively eliminating them.  Republicans had a plan to tax the bonuses at 100 percent but after state and local taxes take their slice of the bonuses, the Democratic 90 percent plan effective taxes the bonuses at 100 percent once all is said and [...]

The short answer to that is no; the long answer will take a few more sentences.  With the rise of sites such as YouTube and having most major television channels giving people the ability of viewing whole episodes on their computers it would seem like there is now no need to devote time out of [...]

I recently read a story on Digg about Microsoft’s new program SongSmith being a possible challenger to Apple’s GarageBand in the digital music creation arena. Having watched a few demos of the product, all I can say is that GarageBand has nothing to worry about. In fact, none of the programs that are designed for creating [...]
