Adobe has released the newest version of their highly successful Creative Suite of products, including familiars like Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, and newcomers formerly from Macromedia are back with a revamp. Apparently in Creative Suite 4, Adobe has tried hard to really unify the interfaces amongst all the programs. This may upset both die-hard Adobe fans…
Letters from Manuel
This morning I received an e-mail that said the following: Manuel quiere que seas su amigo(a) en hi5. He creado un perfil de hi5 y quisiera añadirte como un amigo, para que podamos compartir fotos y empezar a construir nuestra red. ¡Pero primero es necesario que te unas a hi5! Una vez que participes en…
Talk Like a Pirate Day
In honor of International Talk Like a Pirate Day (YARGH!) Ye should be honoured to bear witness to the shanty whose lyrics I’m about to display before yer eyes. It’s a good ol’ favorite, “Hoist the Colours” (by Hans Zimmer) from the theatrical adventure Pirates O’ The Carribean 3: At World’s End. The king and…
News and Updates
It’s been a rough couple of days. I’ve been sick, like – feel like I got hit by a truck sick. It knocked me out pretty hard yesterday, and I’m back at work today even though I probably shouldn’t be. In tech news, Google released their new web browser (in beta, of course) called Google…
My First LOLCat Attempt
So, this may not even be funny to people not from my area, but I definitely see these ads on TV for J.G. Wentworth that really annoy me. So, this is my homage to those commercials. Monday’s almost over at work for me, folks, and it feels like centuries till the next weekend comes. There’s…
Great American Seafood Cook-Off 2008
I maybe a tech guy, but the summertime always re-awakens my inner chef. This summer, I’ve been especially lazy in the cooking department because of my busy life and limited budget. (Buying a house ain’t cheap!) But I’m still a Food & Wine magazine subscriber, and I still like reading good recipes on the internet.…
Re-Entry is Rough: Rob & Big With the Assist
Due to some technical difficulties, Game Night ended up being movie night, at my place. Melissa got into my liquor cabinet and started mixing it up for my guests. It’s nice to have a bartender friend. When I get paid again, I’m going to get a shaker, jigger, and muddler so I have some more…
Don’t Forget: Don’t Think About the Game
Popular (yet incredibly stupid) mind-virus game called “Lose the Game” has been growing in unpopularity over the last couple of years. Website LoseTheGame.com talks about the game, and details the three simple rules: 1. You are playing the Game. 2. Don’t think about the Game. If you think about the Game, you lose. 3. You…
People on the Internet are Douchebags
This is my hypothesis for today: If you are on the internet and have the option to give input on a particular topic or expression of opinion anonymously, then you will probably do so, and be a douchebag about it. For example, a while back, I posted a blog titled “Top 10 Signs You’re a…
Amazon Prime Has Its Advantages
So, I have more recently been learning to live within my means, and using my blog money to purchase the silly things that I want. I finally cashed out my Social Spark account for the last $50, and once it was in my PayPal account I transferred it out to my bank account. So what…
