Technical insanity at its best!

Entries for August, 2006

Got the Boot from Woot

The other day Woot had a voice recorder for like $25. I ordered one. Actually it was a MP3 player / voice recorder and I thought it would be cool to have. Not really for the MP3 playback capability but for the voice recorder part. I have been watching this podcasting trend (the idea of […]

Technical Focus and Going Forward

Lately I have been getting questioned as to why I don’t have more technical posts since I am a technical kinda guy. I have always steered away from doing tech pieces because I felt there were plenty of programmers doing just that. Then they usually reply back, “Well maybe you could do something more on […]

Tesla Concert Rocked

The Tesla concert last night at Prairie Knights was great. I’m not a big Tesla fan but they put on a hell of a show. This was the first time I had been to a concert in the casino pavilion and I have to admit it was a little smaller than I imagined but the […]

Tulsa Concert

We are heading down to Prairie Knights casino in a couple hours for the Tesla concert and then out to Driscoll for Uncle Jesse’s birthday. Should be a fun night and I’ll try to take a bunch of pictures… Technorati : Tulsa, casino, concert

Our Pool and Bar…

Everyone is always asking to see pictures of our bar downstairs and the newly re-done pool in our backyard, so here you go: Technorati : backyard, bar, fun, house, life, party, pool

Today at lunch I got attacked by a door to door Kirby vacuum cleaner man. He kinda stole my whole lunch hour although I was impressed with the demo just not the price. I mean you can afford a $1900 vacuum? I don’t care if it has a lifetime warranty. Who wants the same old-looking […]

Maryam wants opinions on RSS readers

Maryam is looking the best way to view RSS feeds on the Mac. My opinion? Use Newsgator online edition. I have been using that to cure my urge on Linux and it has taken over all my computers because since it is web based, it is always in sync on all my machines. Technorati : […]

What will be in the next 100 years?

Have you ever noticed that whatever year or decade we are in, we think that we are the most advanced, technologically speaking, of any other previous year or decade. This makes sense because it is true. But what is really amazing is take that line of thinking and apply it to years and decades back. […]

Vegas Here We Come!

We just booked our tickets to Las Vegas for the first weekend in November. Actually we are going for almost a week (Nov 3-8). Should be fun. I haven’t been out there for a couple of years and I swore the last time I went that I would go every year. Actually this is the […]

How to Create an .exe File for Free

If you are like me you probably had a point in your life where you needed to create a .exe file from a .bat or .vbs file. Well Windows actually includes a program called IExpress.exe which allows you to do this. Why Windows does not advertise this handy little program is beyond me but a […]
