The other day I got an email from my friend telling me about a cool site. It shows the popularity of a name in the last hundred years. It has a very slick interface. As you type the name in, it shows you how many babies per million were named
I took a quick spin up to Vancouver, BC yesterday. I had never really been to Canada. Well, I take that back. I did make it in to Canada when I visited Niagra Falls, but I don’t think that really counts. I just got far enough in to have
After making a map earlier this week of the states that I have been to, I decided that the NW and SE were too empty. So yesterday I took a flight up here to Seattle to meet my dad who is here on a business trip. So the updated map
There has been a new player introduced in the digital music world, and being known as the Apple spokesman in my circles, I thought that I would set things straight. The new vendor is actually an old name with a new service. Napster, known for igniting the music filesharing a
I think that I like gadgets as much as the next guy. My mom often reminds me that I don’t always have to have the latest and the greatest. (To which my reply is, “Yes, yes I do.”) For instance, I would really like one of the new Mac
I found a neat new site that will keep track of your travels for you and color in the states as you visit them. It will also work for countries that you visit. The site is www.world66.com. I spent a couple minutes and made a map for myself.
I just came across the coolest commercial that I have ever seen. It is a commercial by Volkswagen for the old/new Golf GTI. The Golf is an old car that was really popular, but it has been redone for 2005. In order to show that, they took another old
Each time I write posts on this blog I send out about 300 emails to people who have asked me to keep them updated on when I write. This has posed a couple problems. #1) Those emails take a lot of time. #2) There is no way for a person
I know that usually I will write about music that I like, but this time I don’t know. There is an album by “The Streets” called “A Grand Don’t come Easy” and I just can’t tell if I like it or not. I enjoy listening to it
I received an incredible email from a friend of mine serving with the Marines in Iraq. He was writing about a speech by Gen. Michael W. Hagee who was the Marine Corps Commandant over the marine who was videotaped shooting that Iraqi in the Mosque a couple months ago. General
For any of you that are interested, there was an article in the New York Times this last Sunday that highlighted my company here in Vegas, and there is a picture of yours truly. (I promise I am not working myself to death, no matter what that picture may look
I took a quick trip down to Southern California this week. I was supposed to take a class at a consulting firm down there, but they dropped the ball so it didn’t work out. (Probably more on that in a future post.) I left Las Vegas at about 2
Most everyone that I take to San Francisco wants to see Lombard Street “The Most Crooked Street in the world.” I do admit that it is a pretty neat thing to see, but all the real action is on Market Street. Market Street is the hub of the city. Most
I made it out to San Francisco for this year’s Macworld. As I was sitting in the keynote I was just so impressed with all that Steve introduced. When he went into his trademark “one more thing” speech, i was anticipating what it would be. He then went onto
Some of you may know that I will be going to the Macworld Keynote in San Francisco this weekend. I have a few friends that will not be able to go (nor follow it online) so I thought that I would make it available another way. My friend Richard and
If you are wondering about the title to this entry, that is the best take I can get on quoting “If I Were a Rich Man” from fiddler on the roof. That song has been in my head all day. It is one of those songs that you aren’t
