If you’ve bought an HP (Hewlett-Packard) laptop in the last few years, you’ve got a nifty tool on your side called the PC Recovery Disc Creator. The only bugger is, the program will only create one set of recovery discs, ever. If you check the HP FAQ, the reason for this is due to licensing…
Cute Overload: Dolphins Blowing Bubbles
My work schedule for this month has been kind of crazy, but good. Coming in late, working late, going home late, staying up late, then sleeping in late. The day winds down a lot after 5pm, and I saw this video of dolphins blowing bubbles and playing with them. The video is posted at SeaWorld’s…
Entrecard Market Reopens!
The folks over at Entrecard have been working hard! Lots of new features and policies have been rolled out lately, it would seem. One of the newest features is the Entrecard Market!

Too Many Eggs in One Basket
Sorry, folks. Where I’d hoped to put a kick-butt second installment to the Linux for n00bs article, is instead this silly excuse post.

DJ to your Twitter Followers with Blip.fm
There’s so many applications and web sites now that hook up to everyone’s favorite micro-blogging service, Twitter.

Lazy Days at the Villa and Dell Support
It’s Thursday, already? That just seems crazy. This vacation is flying by pretty quickly, and before you know it, I’ll have to get off my butt and go Christmas shopping. Yes, I know I’m crazy shopping at the last minute. It means I have to pay the “last minute” tax, since most places it’s already…
Combo Breaker: Update
So I’ve neglected to write here for a while, primarily because I’ve been living life instead of blogging it (well, that’s not entirely true) – and partly because I have been experiencing a lot of stuff lately that I don’t want to post publically where just anyone can read it. I would do protected posts,…
Save Family Stories with Dragon Naturally Speaking
I don’t know if you’ve tried Dragon Naturally Speaking before – it’s come a long way since it’s inception. It used to be that you’d have to train it and retrain it and then you’d finally get a semi-working program. But by the time you got it working right, you could have just typed it…
No Costume, DIY Skills, or Time?
