I'm constantly amazed by the power a good idea has over people, the inspiration it creates, and the satisfaction of seeing it come to life... as difficult and rare as that might be.


WTF! Can someone fix FireFox printing?

June 26th, 2009

So I use FireFox for most browsing… except for when I want to print something. If I know I’m going to eventually print something out, like a purchase invoice or a business license renewal confirmation, I use Internet Explorer. Why? Because FireFox effing sucks when it comes to printing. Anyone who’s ever tried to print […]

Monster Beetle!

Monster Beetle!

June 10th, 2009

I was on my way to work today when I had to just stop to take some pix of this monster beetle!

Some of my favorite ringtones

June 9th, 2009

I was cleaning up the files stored on my phone today and came across some ringtones I love but haven’t used in a long time. First up, the classic “Don’t tase me bro”. This ringtone is a clipping of audio from the famous “Don’t tase me bro” video, minus some of the talking bits in […]

An amazing thing to come across

An amazing thing to come across

June 7th, 2009

We’ve had a great run of good weather the last few days, so we took advantage of it today and took the ol’ bicycles out for a few hours ride. On the way back, I came across the most amazing sight… a perfectly intact waffle cone sitting on the shoulder… then a couple feet later […]

Stamp based security system

Stamp based security system

May 31st, 2009

I’m working on a project that involves green computing, and oddly enough an old building. This project has a low budget at the moment, but still requires a flexible security system for an inner and outer door. I figured I could easily put a BS2 chip to the task and come out with a pretty […]

It's a faux pas for sure, but what kind?

It’s a faux pas for sure, but what kind?

May 31st, 2009

Jenny and I were sitting at our dining room table, laptops in front of both of us, when she turned hers toward me and said “Get a load of those!”. I’m not sure what the faux pas in this picture is exactly, but there’s one in there, that’s for sure: At first I thought I […]

The adventures of uric acid and gout foot

The adventures of uric acid and gout foot

May 31st, 2009

UPDATE The further adventures of uric acid and gout foot So here’s an odd one. Over the last few years I started having problems with gout in my right foot. It’s odd because every time I go to the doctor for it they tell me to lay off the booze and eat less meat. The […]

Working with the basic stamp 2

Working with the basic stamp 2

May 30th, 2009

In working with the BS2 module, I’ve had to look up a few things here and there. For example, I’ve used a dev board to program all BS2 modules before they are sunk into IC sockets on the actual project boards that I’ve forgotten how to directly connect a BS2 to my PC serial port. […]

Perfect for the judgmental cynic in me!

Perfect for the judgmental cynic in me!

May 21st, 2009

I want this! Imagine running around maniacally stamping anything and everything (and anyone) I felt violated some kind of incidental set of personalized common sense rules I felt like applying to the universe at that moment!

The difference between spelling and grammar mistakes

The difference between spelling and grammar mistakes

May 11th, 2009

Some people think when a word is spelled correctly but used incorrectly, that is a spelling mistake. I disagree. If a person intended to use a different word, but through a spelling misstep used another word which happens to be spelled correctly, that is a grammar mistake my friend. Take this example; We passed a […]
