Where Are The Wise Men?

As I’ve said before — we grill a lot in the summer. Usually about 3-4 times a week, sometimes more. The other day, Gina got some good old American favorites up from the freezer — chicken breasts and put them into a good marinade. While the whole country seems to like them, [...]

This SlashGeo story pointed me to GeotagThings, which is sorta like a geographic version of del.icio.us. “Huh?” I hear you say. You setup an account and place a bookmarklet in your bookmark bar. When you get a page that you want to assign an address for, you click on the bookmarklet, put in [...]

One OSX application I’m starting to have a love-hate relationship with is Safari. I like Safari’s speed and I like it’s integration to the OS. Here are some things I don’t like:

For some reason, I like to move my mouse over the link and look at the bottom of the window where that [...]

I have a secret — I don’t like baked beans, especially the ones straight from the can. I never have. My tolerance for them has gotten better, though. When I was little, I would start gagging when I put baked beans in my mouth. Now I can swallow them and fake a smile, [...]

I have evidence to believe that my transistion has finished, even though my provider hasn’t alerted me to the fact. But my traffic counter reset itself magically and response is much, much better on my blog (just like they promised!) So here goes a first post . . .

Kottke posted The Powers of Ten, which is just short film from the 1960’s that zooms out 10x every 10 seconds. You start with a couple having a picnic, and then end up looking at the universe. Then you go back to the couple and goto the nucleus of an example. [...]

Matt has an interesting post on the javadocbook utility. I hadn’t heard of it before — looks very cool.

Matt talks about HTML, but javadocbook also does FOP, go you can go to PDF, RTF, etc. Very cool stuff!

I’ve still been looking for a way to manage my time — to make sure that everything I need to gets done. LifeHack seems to really like David Allen’s time management philosophy called “Getting Things Done”, though you will probably see it called GTD more often. This link at 43 Folders explains is [...]

From Tony Lawerence’s site:

I don’t know if I really expected that would be the last of it. That’s the problem with helping out friends, neighbors and relatives. You can get sucked in to a vortex that you’ll never get out of, and soon find yourself spending way too much time helping people who aren’t going [...]
