For a few weeks now, I’ve been working on a website project for Tomorrow Pictures, Inc. Their old site, while functional, hadn’t been updated in several years and they weren’t happy with it. They had some ideas, including the color scheme and some basic elements, and we worked together to come up with a design […]
Over a cup of coffee at Starbucks this morning Eric asked me about the custom ringtones on my mobile phone, specifically how I get exactly what I want and how I transfer it to the phone. I’ve looked through the software shelves at Fry’s, BestBuy, CompUSA and other places, and there are lot of packages […]
We were in Louisville KY this past weekend for a marching band competition, but that got rained out (to put it mildly). The bands’ performances were to have been in the UofL Statdium, but got moved to a smaller, indoor, venue. During a short break in the weather, my wife and I did a little […]
Well this this is interesting: Students Rebel Against Database Designed to Thwart Plagiarists [Washington Post]. My son’s high school also uses this program; his World Literature teacher told us about it last week. Any typed paper the students turn in must first be submitted to the TurnItIn service, which compares it to other works to […]
The principal of the local high school, where my son’s in the marching band, is working with various groups — the teams, cheerleaders, and marching band — to try to make the fan experience at sporting events a more enjoyable and exciting one.
The band’s got a new pre-game show, working in conjunction with the cheerleaders […]
A big thank you goes out to John Porcaro, for giving me a nudge. I had seen talk about LEGO® Star Wars® II: The Original Trilogy in various forums, but hadn’t really thought much about it. The other evening I saw an ad on TV that made it look pretty cool, and then John poked […]
High School Football season’s started, and I’m back on the sidelines behind the cameras. Here are two shots that made this week’s paper.
“Junior running back Lance M. (3) runs for some of the 159 yards on 26 carries he racked up for Milton High School. Martin also scored two touchdown in the 19-0 whitewashing of […]

While you’re waiting for the shuttle launch, which apparently now won’t happen until at least Friday morning, take a few minutes to save yourself some time and frustration - go through Tweak3D’ Windows XP 15 Minute Tune-Up:
Don’t throw out that old PC yet!
A fine-tuned Windows XP PC can run quite fast even it’s […]
Those of you who’s cable or satellite operator has seen fit to include NASA TV in your channel lineup - or who happen to live close enough to the Kennedy Space Center, of course - can watch a shuttle launch this afternoon. According to NASA’s website,
STS-115 will deliver a truss and other key components during […]
“Labor” day, which for my mother meant something other than the national holiday …and this time ’round, it’s all about the ultimate answer.
I knew this existed, and had used it several weeks ago thanks to Major Nelson pointing it out in one of his interviews, but then lost the pointer. 360Leaderboards has a way, albeit just a little complicated, to get a list of all the 360 games that your friends have played. Isn’t that pretty cool […]
