Musings of a technophile

So I’m playing this game now called “Dead Space” that recently came out. While I believe you can play it on the XBox 360 or the Playstation 3, it is a FPS and therefore I would not recommend playing it unless you are on the PC. I never understood FPS on a console - you don’t have a mouse, therefore you cannot be precise, therefore they have to… Continue reading

As every family does, we went and picked out a pumpkin and carved it for Halloween this year…well…we actually got five pumpkins and carved three of them out this year. The first three we got from the pumpkin patch, and the other two were presents from the Green Meadows Farm.

Anyways, the boys loved picking out the pumpkins. For some reason Ethan is only interested in… Continue reading

So a friend of my wife found out about these special tickets that were on sale to Disney’s Animal Kingdom for $32 a piece. Not surprisingly, we jumped at the tickets and wound up going just a few weeks ago. It’s been quite a while since I went, so I was pretty stoked. :)

The first thing we did when we got there was head over and see the… Continue reading

So I was going down I-4 yesterday when I noticed a billboard for WhoCanISue.com. I just have to say, you have to be a complete jackass of an attorney to create a website like this. According to the site, their website’s purpose is to

We went to the Green Meadows petting farm in Kissimmee, FL recently. We had gone a while back, but Logan was nothing but a few months old and Ethan was pretty tiny at the time too - having them be older was much more fun. The farm has all sorts of animals, from common farm animals like ducks, chickens and cows, to not so common farm animals like… Continue reading

I finished watching Macross Frontier, the newest addition to the Macross saga, last night. It marks the 25th anniversary of Macross (the series that was changed to Robotech in the United States). Because of this, there is lots of references back to the older series such as Macross, Macross II, Macross Plus and Macross 7. For instance, at the beginning of Macross Frontier, the main character Alto… Continue reading

So my boss where I work noticed that Google was showing 404 error’s in our Google webmaster tools, and that many of those 404’s are on invalid URL’s. With a site as big as ours, I wouldn’t say it would be uncommon to have other sites linking to our content and they mess up the URL in the link, but in any case since we are big on SEO… Continue reading

So for a while I’ve been looking for something to manage my tasks at work. For quite a while I used Excel, but it can be cumbersome since I would have to add/remove lines, renumber things, and just overall took longer than I wanted to manage my tasks. Next I moved on to the Google Task List for the Google sidebar. It was extremely quick, however since… Continue reading

The company I work for has many windows shares on the network, each one being used for a different department. They take up a lot of room as they have accumulated much stuff over the years, and also one of the shares is for housing users home directories. In order to better handle the space needs, we bought a new drive array that starts at 1 terabyte and… Continue reading

So I was playing Warcraft III online last night and this guy used a strategy against me that I had never seen before. You know that’s one of the best things about Warcraft III, and perhaps other RTS games as well; no matter how many times you play online, there is always someone else who uses a different strategy.

Anyways, this guy’s strategy was pretty simple. Basically he brought… Continue reading
