    I write this blog. It does not represent anyone else's opinions or perspectives. Regardless of employers or clients or any other associations, this is my blog and it does not speak for anyone else. I have learned that perception is more powerful than reality. So, we get to experience the joys of claiming and disclaiming. Isn't that super!

install of Vista 64-bit simple short progress report

I think I need to watch some videos about Vista because it does not feel intuitive for how things are setup or laid out.  I’m sure there was plenty of thought put into it, but I am very tech savvy, and also frequently try new things.  This is not intuitive.  It’s not bad or annoying, [...]

coffee

In the interest of mental health and lowering the frustration level a little bit, I’m pausing the irregularly scheduled programming for a few minutes.  I need to make coffee and relax and enjoy…

the idiocy of embracing the status quo

I write this knowing that I am currently in the middle of my JobHunt.  Well, actually, I’m hopefully very near the end of this one!  So, I decided to add this disclaimer here at the top of this post.  I don’t want this to look like I am addressing any specific previous employer of mine, [...]

Cha-ching wih Google Video AdSense

Like I mentioned in an earlier post about how I grew up thinking much differently than I do now, and betting that I will think differently again in the future, it just never struck me as a big money maker to do ads with videos.  Like duh!  This is great news and hopefully I’ll be [...]

The IT Crowd

This looks fun and geekily appealing!

Mainstream is not mainstream anymore.

This past weekend, I had some fun.  But, I had fun in different ways than I thought I would when I was much younger.
