Theme Park prices
Welcome to Hershey Park This past weekend we visited Hershey Park, and I wanted to make a note of something that really gets me. Theme Park prices are the worst example of good business practices, and also the best example of them, ever. How are they the worst and the best examples? They are the

Weigh in: Week Seventeen
Not too much to tell with this weigh in. This past weekend we went down to Hershey and actually went to the park. Ice cream, chocolate, ham burgers, french fries, beer, and hoagies (or subs as some of us classify them) contributed to me not losing any weight, but I didn’t gain any either. I

Tolype Velleda
[ad#Adsense: Horiz 468] Another moth and not to be confused with the huge moth that was on our porch in May of this year. Mike and I were headed to lunch at [Lunkerz Deli](http://local.yahoo.com/details?id=12105476&stx=&csz=Clifford PA) and Mike spotted this fella on the porch. Large Tolype – Tolype velleda I had to do some extensive searching

Weigh in: Week Sixteen
Sixteen full weeks of being on the diet. I never ever thought I’d get this far, have this type of response, and this type of personal success. I encourage anyone that has been thinking about starting a diet to do so, going in with the frame of mind that losing weight is not an extremely

A great weekend to end the summer with
Food, wine, shopping, white water rafting, friends, kids, family, and sun is what made up what will most likely be one of our last (if not the last) weekends of the summer. What I mean be "last" is that the rest of our summer weekends are jammed full of mostly indoor activities, and by the

A few things I’ve learned while organizing my photo library
I woke up earlier this week to read an announcement on TUG by Josue about the Keyword Assistant for iPhoto had been updated for the latest version of iPhoto and for Intel-based Macintoshes. I was thrilled! But then it dawned on me the task that was ahead of me. I had been without the Keyword

TUG got dugg
For anyone trying to access TUG, sorry. I have learned my lesson and will never digg anything ever again. Valueless traffic, that shuts your site down until the spike disappears. Lesson learned. Update: The site is back up, thanks to John K. and helping me get some caching setup. [tags]tug, digg, theubergeeks[/tags]

Weigh in: Week Fifteen
Without a doubt, I’m not being as strict as I used to be on my diet. I’m eating slightly more, and sometimes it isn’t the best of foods. My metabolism is much higher than it used to be, and my activity level is as well. All of this contributes to me being able to be

Happy Pals: The WordPress plugin that will make linking to your friends fun again!
We (meaning Mike and I), just got finished with a first pass of a WordPress plugin that we’ve called Happy Pals that will automatically find the REL attributes in your posts, and assign the appropriate classes to those links. This way, you can style links to your friends differently than you do links to anywhere

Meeting Mike Stickel
It isn’t often enough that the friends we create in this online world are met in real life. Earlier this year I was able to meet with Mike Rundle, and now I’ve finally gotten to meet another Mike. Mike and I have been chatting online since he started leaving comments on The uber geeks back

Weigh in: Week Fourteen
Mike, Chris, and I This will be a quick weigh in, being that Mike is in town. Last week I was 192.2 pounds, while this week I’m down 2 pounds at 190.2 pounds. These last pounds seem to be more difficult – so I’m going to put in a slightly more concerted effort over the
