I just signed up for Technorati and here is where you will find my Technorati profile. I am not sure exactly what I will get out of it, but I may increase my readership as a result. Or, maybe not. I am not so sure that I publish anything of interest here to anyone. […]

Thursday, June 9th, 2005

I think there are some really nice kids that live around here in the slums. I went to move my car the other day and someone had taken the emblem or hood ornament off the front of my car. BMW doesn’t use hood ornaments, they call them Roundels. I figured this was going […]

I was just reading an article from the Associated Press who did a wide-ranging interview with Adel al-Jubeir, top foreign policy adviser for Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler Crown Prince Abdullah.

Using the Audiovox 5600 as a Modem Via USB Cable

Wednesday, June 8th, 2005

I am putting together some information I found on the web about using an Audivox SMT 5600 as a modem via a USB cable. Plugging the supplied USB data cable into the phone and to a Windows XP machine does not, by default, show the phone as a modem. Here is how to set it […]

Springtime Cycling in San Francisco

Tuesday, June 7th, 2005

Apparently Mark Twain said, “The coldest winter I ever spent, was the summer in San Francisco.” The weather in San Francisco is something that I have not totally adjusted to yet. It has been gorgeous lately and we spent the past four days up in Sonoma at a wedding and wine tasting and it […]

I have been fortunate enough to cycle in some of the most amazing sites in Califorina. I spent time riding in Malibu when my parents lived there after college and now I am fortunate enough to ride in the San Francisco Bay area after riding in San Diego for 14 years (well, I didn’t […]

Word Press Themes Part Deux

Monday, June 6th, 2005

I have to say, WordPress 1.5 is pretty sweet. There are a couple of hundred themes available and to be honest, if you know your way around CSS pretty well, you can put together a template in no time at all. I will be putting together a couple of three column layouts here pretty quickly […]

Seems like a lot of people are making it here looking for information on using Cingular’s MediaNet service. I have the MediaNet unlimited package as when I signed up for the service I was very excited about the prospects of using my Nokia 6620 as a mobile modem for my laptop via Bluetooth. […]

Henk Van Ess uncovered some part-time opportunities for people who are fluent in a number of different languages.

Nick’s Crispy Tacos

Thursday, June 2nd, 2005

Well, there are many reasons why I am a complete dork. One of them is that I get pleasure not only from eating food, but also from talking about food. Take my review of Nick’s Crispy Tacos as one example. How many people do you know that have actually spent the time to write […]

Audiovox SMT 5600

Wednesday, June 1st, 2005

I just came across the Audiovox SMT 5600 Smartphone. I have not seen the phone in person, but from what I can see, it seems like a pretty sweet package. Let me say for the record that I am not a Microsoft fan, but I think they are finally making a compelling argument (my new […]

Federal Funds Rate - How High is Too High?

Wednesday, June 1st, 2005

Ok, I have been babbling about this enough in “real life” so, I may as well publish something in writing on the off chance that I am right about something. I was just looking at the Money Magazine real estate edition that they publish once a year. There is a small article in here about […]
