Last Sunday, I had very low expectations out of the Super Bowl. I don’t really like the Patriots, nor do I hold any special place in my heart for the Giants. In fact, football really doesn’t hold a special place in my heart at all. I’m lucky I at least understand the rules enough to…
My Weekend Update
So this past weekend went pretty well. Friday, I went to see Asheville band Dawn of the Dude, and it was a pretty entertaining show! It’s always awesome to see a good band that also has good showmanship. It’s one thing to be a good musician and a good artist, but it’s another talent altogether…
Oops – We Let It Slip
Some of you may have noticed that over the weekend the site went down, possibly being replaced with another page or search engine. That’s because silly me registered the domain name with GoDaddy and never updated my contact information, so GoDaddy had sent my domain expiration notices to an e-mail I don’t check any more.…
Marketing on MySpace

If you’re reading this, you’ve probably already made up your mind to use it or not. What I…

This method…
Rest for the Weary in California
Many people have been affected in the recent times by the increasing warm, dry weather we have during the summer months. It takes just a few hours for an entire house to burn to the ground, but months and months to build a new one. With the outbreak of wild fires in the San Diego…
The Apocalypse is Nigh: Navy Tests Futuristic Rail-Gun
According to an article posted to Digg, Fox news reports the US Navy is testing a high-powered futuristic rail-gun weapon that can fire a projectile at speeds up to Mach 5! Of course, the language chosen, “railgun,” seems to be carefully chosen to accurately describe the weapon, but also incites some sci-fi and video game…

The Road to Not-Sickville
I’ve been sick with a head cold since the night before my birthday last week, but I think it’s subsiding. I feel less and less like death every day. But apparently my cold hopped hosts and has taken out half my team at work. Even with major system malfunctions, smart planning and some intervention by…
Go Back to School with Scholarships, Not Loans
In an earlier post, I talked about how you could find some financing to go back to school and get more education. I focused primarily on getting different kinds of loans to pay for your education, but you may also qualify for a multitude of financial aid scholarships or Pell grants. From even way back…
