Pleasurable Troublemakers

I’ve only checked out one of these Pleasureable Troublemakers so far but I’m throwing this here as a reminder for me to visit them all. Love the concept of the Keymoment, the keychain rack that subtly encourages you to bike instead of drive. In short, if you grab your car key it spits your bike…

Netflix, behind the scenes

We have been Netflix customers for a while now and have no complaints about the service whatsoever. The wife and I have discussed it before noting that package design and the timeliness of each order must be due to the fact that they are automated in some way or another. Boy was I off. http://www.boston.com/business/technology/articles/2007/08/23/netflix/…

IE8 to be officially released today

Thought it won’t be pushed to auto updates right away, you can get your copy from Microsoft’s site around Noon EST. Here’s to hoping I get the opportunity to bad-mouth it far less than I have for their last two versions. It is now time for IE6 to go away forever. Hear that corporate America?…

Just announced this morning is a free app from CBS called TV.com. While it is still only CBS (the only…

My former church home is going viral

This is the church that – when I decided to get out of bed in college – I attend on a semi-regular basis. Funny thing is, I consider them one of the most conservative churches in their area. Pretty surprising to see them using social media like Youtube to promote.

Nerd post

Every now and then I have to out myself as a computer nerd. My excitement of the following solidifies my status for another week or two. We just moved from our satellite dish to Verizon for TV to combine both our Internet and TV on FiOS. Along with saving $70/month over our previous setup, they…

Back in business

I noticed this evening that my feed wasn’t updating for the site. Of course it bugged me. Took me a couple of hours of code searching, bug hunting and racking my brain to think what changes I had made in the last 48 hours to finally figure out that a small piece of code I…

Shaq on Twitter

As my wife acutely pointed out, “he even tweets in Ebonics.” Only a week or so into it, he’s already amassed almost 11,000 followers: http://twitter.com/THE_REAL_SHAQ I love the internet.

Another .com = real estate reference

Similar to owning a house, in the web business, you become easily tied to your web host. Fortunately, I bought good when I got in. In both house and web hosting. Unfortunately, being tied to my host as much as I am, I don’t have a whole lot of choice when places like Media Temple…
