Home Theater PC

When Liz & I got married, one of her best friend’s from college bought us the TV that we registered for as a wedding gift. Having this fantastic 42″ TV is just awesome, but we agreed that we didn’t want to pay for satellite or cable, so we’re using a regular rabbit antenna to receive [...]

I Love Google

This is the first of a three part series on my thoughts about the search giant Google. I definitely have a love/hate thing going on with them. I thought it was appropriate to start with love. Parts two and three will be published within the next couple of weeks.
My first experience with Google came in [...]

Craigslist Scammers

I’ve listed a couple of things on Craigslist recently. I generally prefer selling on Craigslist because its free, but you do have to deal with scammers. Generally my policy is to avoid them, but this week I decided to let the story play out just to see what happens. The “person” that wants to buy [...]

Get Firefox

I’m planning to make some updates to the layout of my site soon, and I’m enlisting the help of a few friends. One of them just asked me if my site needs to support IE6. Without thinking I said no, because I know what a nightmare it is to code/develop for that browser. After making [...]

Understanding the Meltdown

There are many books that point out trading strategies or give tips on how to find winning stocks. Douglas takes a different tack, his goal is to help the trader [...]

Texas By Five

Tonight Texas faces Ohio State in the Fiesta bowl. I’m staking my claim before kickoff, Texas will win by five points. Hook’Em Horns!

Game Face

I just came across a video that shows the faces of teens as they’re playing video games.

That’s pretty interesting to me. Is the kid playing GTA alive??

ACL 08 Day 3

So, I gotta start by saying that this year’s ACL festival has taken it up to a new level. It was our fifth year in a row to attend (fourth year together), and Liz and I both had a blast. If you live in Austin and you like music, then you need to be here.
Once [...]

ACL 08 Day 2

Day two of the Austin City Limits music festival. Today was a very good day. We didn’t get there as early as expected because I had schoolwork to do. The first show that we planned to see was the Fratellis at 1:30, and it actually worked out because we heard two songs while we were [...]
