My brother is selling his home in sunny Florida. He called me and asked if I’d put together a quick web site to facilitate that, and give those interested a quick way to view some photos and general information about the home. So, we setup 6410aberdeen.com as a way to do that. It’s simple, to […]

Chris Rhee, a member of the 9rules Network and friend, has had $5,000 or so worth of equipment stolen from right beneath his nose. We’re try to help out, and I’m asking that anyone else that can help out should too. Link to him from your blog too, if you get the chance. Side note: […]

Also known as; The Breakfast of Champions. Last night Eliza and I stopped at Dunkin Donuts on the way home and I decided to buy one donut for each day for the rest of the week. This way, when I woke up each morning I could enjoy coffee and a donut. My coffee and donut […]

If you are with me, pass this along to two friends that aren’t usually included in memes either. I’m passing this to Mike Stickel, Chris Fehnel, and Devin Reams.

Eliza and I love to cook at home. As Eliza says "The clean up is the worst part.". Apart from that, there is nothing I do not enjoy about cooking, and eating, at home. It is cheaper, generally better for you, and is all around more fulfilling. Not too long ago Eliza picked up Rachel […]

My brother taking a digital photo Film vs. Digital. There are very obvious pros and cons to both. On the one hand, the quality of photos taken on good film is vastly superior to those taken by your digital camera. Yet, the immediacy of digital photos, the ease of being able to get them into […]

Dunstan Diaz, a 9rules Network Member, has decided to spearhead an effort to raise even more Web Standards awareness by creating a Naked for CSS Day. To participate, all you need to do is rip out your style sheet for one day, leaving nothing but your naked site to show in all of its semantic […]

JJ Abrams, creator of Alias and most-recently LOST, has stolen a considerable portion of my life away. I was never a fan of Alias, though I know many people out there are and I did catch an episode or two that I found enjoyable. However, LOST has me wrapped up so tightly that I often […]

I’ve been asking myself that all day, then I dug up this video of me from a few weeks back. And then I realize, yes I’m as white as white can be. Compare my video to Paul Scrivens’ video, and you’ll understand. [tags]9rules, dancing, video, fun[/tags]

I try my very best to avoid headaches, but once and awhile they creep in on me. Since I do try to avoid headaches, when I get them they are usually pretty debilitating. Most of the time, me having a headache forces me to suspend any activities until it is gone. One of the most […]

We’re up and running. There is a lot of work to be done here for sure, but that can all be done whilst you’re enjoying what is already here. From now on you can expect small incremental updates to happen, but none that should inhibit you from getting at what you crave the most; my […]

Chris had a few friends over tonight, myself included, for some poker and darts. The first game of poker went "okay" since I came in second, losing to Ryan (Chris’ brother) after a few hands heads-up. I think I misplayed about 4 or 5 fairly large hands during that game which led to my demise. […]

I can’t wait for Spring. As the weather breaks, I’m going to try to take advantage of it. Yesterday I enjoyed some time on the deck/porch, even though I could only stay out there for a little while, it was worth it. Today we’re supposed to get up to 18 degrees, or 64 for you […]

Each time I shower (about once every two or three months), I forget to dry off my left shoulder until last. Its something I’m perfectly conscience of, yet it seems to happen every single time. My toothbrush is in the “medicine cabinet”, which is behind the mirror above the sink, and every time I go […]

I can not tell you how many times I’ve been asked this question. Sarcastically of course. But, I’d like to answer it seriously. No. Not even close. In fact, I generally take the approach that someone might be immensely smarter than I am. That isn’t to say that I freely give of my respect of […]

Blake says hello I was unable to attend CocoaDevHouse in Dallas in “body”, but I was able to get their via IRC and Skype. Wanted to thank all those in attendance for keeping me entertained for awhile, and answering some good questions on some cool topics. Side note: I’ve had a chance to sit down […]

Upon reading the title of this post, you’re probably escorting your children out of the room before continuing to read it. But I can assure you, the title is intentionally deceiving. For years I’ve been tied to some type of desk. Obviously having a laptop helps me “unplug” every now and then. But, being in […]

Scenario: You’re driving down the highway, in the left-most lane of a four lane highway. You notice that your exit is approaching, and you need to get into the right-most lane to exit. You decide that 3 minutes worth of inconvenience is worth risking your life to save yourself from. So, you proceed to change […]

Eliza and I agreed, if Jerry Rice won “Dancing with the Stars” we would have freaked. Not that I don’t give “mad props” to Jerry for improving as much as he did, but in the end the competition was not based purely on skill nor improvement, but the number of fans you were able to […]

Dude, Moana should have definitely won. I mean, definitely should have. Sara, or Sarah (the woman he picked) is head over heels for the Doctor from Nashville, in comparison to Moana having a true connection that goes much deeper than the “barbie & ken” experience. It’s just bullcrap, because Travis wasn’t up to the challenge […]

I’m writing this post, while sitting at my dining room (I use this term loosely) table, using Flock.  No, not the built in blogging capabilities (they suck), but still using Flock for the second full day in a row.  I’m also using my new bluetooth mouse. Though these two things do not change what I’m […]

The way I figure it, I’m deleting about 1,000 emails per week. This includes approved blog comments, forum notifications, spam, and other stuff I no longer need. How many emails are you deleting per week?

Usually when people offer you a Tic-Tac, its because your breath needs some attention. Abizer, of Stompy.org, offered to send me a bluetooth Apple mouse – which I’ve named Tic-Tac – without ever smelling my breath. Thanks Abizer, this baby is going to get put to some very good use.

I’m enjoying the weekend, but thought I’d hop on for a minute or two, and noticed something that made me feel a twinge of jealousy. I’m generally not a jealous person. For instance, if you roll by me in a brand new Jaguar and think I’ll turn green, you’re probably wrong. I’ll shake your hand […]

I’m going to learn Spanish. I fully realize that I’m probably not worthy, yet, to start writing blog posts in Spanish (which I plan on doing in the future), since (spanish slang to follow:) soy gringo. Loosely translated, it means I’m a dirty American. I love this language already! I can’t wait to learn more, […]

Not in that Brokeback Mountain kinda way (not that there’s anything wrong with that), but in the way that you would if someone was willing to stand behind those that’d be willing to stand behind him. Today was a rough day. But, when the smoke clears, the only one that will be standing there with […]

I called it before, and having not been able to watch Monday’s episode till tonight, I wasn’t sure if my prediction would hold water. Yet, after watching the latest episode of The Bachelor, I can say with relative confidence that Moana will win the Bachelor.

I’ve had a ton of photos (and screenshots) on Flickr that have gone well over 1000 views. A few of my screenshots are in the 5,000 range. Recently, however, I had a photo that almost surpassed 1000 views in record time, and I was going to mention that fact – except that I lost some […]

I’d love to play piano, but no matter how hard I try – I suck. I simply can’t get it. Perhaps its my inability to "hear" music the way musicians do, or whatever, but its something I desire to do and just can’t. I’m considering taking real lessons, and if I do – and they […]

Grizzly Man has been talked about a lot [on the Internets recently](http://technorati.com/search/Grizzly Man) (partially due to the fact that it was on TV for all to watch). My opinion, to be as straight-forward and honest as I know how, is that Timothy Treadwell did everything wrong. As altruistic as he was in the beginning, his […]

I was glad that last night’s American Idol was the last episode of the horrible funny contestants. I was getting sick of it. Now I’m ready to see some fresh talent.

Helping friends move is something that comes in the “I’ll be your friend” contract, right? I’ve always had more than enough assistance from friends when I’ve moved. So its only fair that I return the favor. However, I think there is something more to helping out your friends then “returning favors”. Many people, including myself, […]

“Your invite from XXXX to be linked on LinkedIn will expire in XXXX days”. Who cares? Update: Just FYI I’ve been invited to link up with hundreds of people, and I’ve seen very little value in actually following through with it. Hence this reaction.

For some reason, I’m not excited about it being Friday today. Usually I’m at least happy that the week is over and that the weekend is beginning, but this week not so much. The reason this strikes me as weird, is because this Sunday is Super Bowl Sunday (do I have to pay someone for […]

Eliza and I, in addition to watching The Bachelor, watch American Idol. As I’ve said elsewhere, I like to watch the beginning (aka the funny part of the season), and then watch the end where they’ve already drilled down to the last four wannabes. This year, at least in my opinion, it seems as though […]

If there is any amount of justice in this world, Moana will win the Bachelor. I have many reasons for thinking this way, and I’ll keep them between Eliza and I. But it appears that this season’s Bachelor is the most sincere bachelor yet, and seems to have the right motives and the proper strategy. […]
