There are many things in this world that can cause us humans to go insane. For me, certain sounds and noises can drive me to the boiling point very quickly. Up there on my list are people who eat with their mouth open, screaming children with parents who don’t do anything to curb their excitement […]

I am thinking next year that I am going to get started a bit on something I have been meaning to do for a while now. I grew up learning to appreciate some of the finer details of building and design thanks to my mother and my grandfather (her fater). My mother, and […]

It is a rainy day, for the second day in a row, here in San Francisco and Fleet Week is getting close. I don’t know because I have the date marked on my calendar, but because the Blue Angels are pratcicing above my head right now. The few times that I have lived […]

I try not to comment on the political world too much on this blog because, well people can just get plain nutty when it comes to these types of things. But, I was poking around on the new Technorati, which I don’t like, and started to check out what people were writing about. Of course, […]

Ok, how about a little geekery on this gorgeous Friday. First, let me say that I am very thankful for this summer’s weather here in SF, last year was poop. Anyway, I have been noticing some issues with our 6Mb/768Kb DSL line in the past couple of days. The biggest reason I have […]

Just wanted to say we had a great time going to see Thievery Corporation last night here in SF. They played at the Design Center, where I had never seen a music show before, which was kind of like a nice warehouse. It was a pretty awesome show and there had to be somewhere […]

This is when you know that your Godson is going to turn out alright. When the kid looks like he has been throwing back cold Pacificos for years, you know he is going to be a pretty cool cat.

In case anyone was wondering, Soccer (aka Football everywhere but here in the US of A) is the sport of floppers. There are a number of reasons why nobody cares about this sport in this country, but I will give you my #1, because they are the biggest bunch of ninnies that I have ever […]

What is the deal with tipping on take-out food? Danielle just came home after picking up some food at a local restaurant and was a bit perplexed and even felt guilty. Someone put the take-out boxes (that the food was in) into a bag and took her money from her. The food […]

Well, I am back in California after a little over two weeks in Italy with my new bride, Danielle. I love the United States, but I have to say that moving to Italy would be very easy for me. We are still adjusting to the time change and lifestyle change…and to be honest, the […]

I am not sure what that means really, but I always wanted to say it. I was just reading through some of my RSS feeds and noticed that the Blogger / Google people managed to delete the official Google blog and the name was then grabbed by some other user. Clearly they are on top […]

If you know me, then you know that I really like WordPress. It may not win any awards for the most efficient PHP out there, but it is a very easy to install and use blogging platform and CMS (Content Management System). So, today I am going to start on a series of articles […]

Life is grand when you are a geek. So, in planning out some of our travels for the honeymoon in Tuscany, I have been fortunate enough to receive advice from many different sources on places to eat and drink at. Everything from wineries to hit in Montalcino and Montepulciano to restaurants in the surrounding […]

Jensense just put out a great write-up about Google’s forecast of smaller margins for Adsense in 2006. I am not going to try and add anything to this, you should simply go and read it for yourself. I am not sure that it is going to come as a total surprise to anyone, […]

Well, as many of you may already know, I lived in San Diego for nearly 15 years. Before that, I got my fill of Mexican food growing up in Los Angeles. I came across a great San Francisco restaurant review website a few weeks ago and have been using it ever since. But, I […]

If you are using the Spam Karma 2 plugin for Wordpress, you should grab the latest update as there was a pretty big bug in the last release. SK2 is pretty awesome and the dude behind it seems to be on top of his game. I install it on all of our WordPress blogs. […]
