Some people amaze me. They can’t seem to think for themselves let alone head in the direction of solving problems on their own. It’s just plain laziness to experience a problem and then immediately call somebody else and put them to work for you without trying anything first.
I’ve always been a person that likes to […]
I’ve decided to go green, and I have many ideas for things I can do to reduce waste. Here is my list to scrub the planet.
Eat out less
Eating out is convenient, but it’s amazing the amount of waste it produces. The wrappers, boxes and cups from fast food restaurants take up an amazing amount of […]
I wanted to share something with you all that I didn’t know. A company I worked for owns PHP-Nuke. Yeah! I know! I couldn’t believe it either. PHP-Nuke has been known for years as an open-source CMS system used by webmasters everywhere to build their web sites. Well, unfortunately webmasters can’t use PHP-Nuke anymore because […]
In my job in Tech Support, I regularly get people that call in and say they can’t connect to my company. The first thing I ask them is “Are you connected to the Internet?” The answer is always “Yes!”. How do they determine this? They bring up Internet Explorer and see their cached home page, […]

With the recent reports of the Lakeland, FL teens beating a girl on camera along with the many episodes of Dateline NBC that have been televised […]
While in Chicago 2 weeks ago, I visited a place that has so far survived the shakeout of record stores from the commercial landscape, Rolling Stone Records. It was one of the only places on the Northwest side of Chicago that for many years you’d be sure to find that single or album that you […]
Here is another lesson in English. A coworker of mine today asked me “did you get my emails?” I corrected them by saying “You mean email?”
When you ask if the postman delivered the mail, you don’t use the word mails. The word mail is never plural. So why is email so often used in the […]
I used to like The Sims Online. I feel it’s better than Second Life as it has a way more features. The game does get a little boring unless you have a social interaction with other players. Here is the email I received with details all about The Sims Online return.
Dear Former […]
It amazes me sometimes how lazy people are with their passwords, especially when it comes to email passwords. The password to your email account is possibly the most important password you could have. The passwords for all the things you use on the Internet can be reset and sent to your email account. Yet some […]
