Is this the best you can do?
In: Dumb People|Rants
15 Dec 2009Seriously CNN, is this the best that you can do? In case you are wondering why people no longer look to you for news, this is why. Some blowhole closing his twitter account shouldn’t make the front page of cnn.com.

Customer Service Matters
In: Dumb People|Rants
16 Jun 2009Recently, our CR-V has developed what can best be describe as a cigarette smell to it after it has been sitting closed up for several hours. The thing is, we don’t smoke. We don’t think that we part near a smoking area so it is rather odd that this smell has started to develop. In [...]

Ugly Code
In: DevDog|Dumb People|Rants
14 Feb 2009With my recent project, I had to do some research for the bits that make up the msRTCSIP-OptionFlags field in Active Directory for OCS users.

Facebook!
In: Dumb People|Links
8 Dec 2008I’ve finally given into the dark side. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do it, but I figured it would give me a chance to reconnect with old friends. So after much reluctance, I have decided to take the Facebook leap. I’m already a LinkedIn member, but I figured that Facebook was a different [...]

15 Oct 2008I got a letter in the mail the other day from my internet, phone and cable TV provider Mediacom. The letter stated that due to the higher costs of providing the service and the decreased demand, Mediacom would no longer be offering voice mail as part of my included service.

Damn French!
In: DevDog|Dumb People
8 Sep 2008For the most part, I like France. Its a nice place to visit, most of the people that I’ve met have been fairly nice, at least the ones that have come over here to study and visit. Heck, I even got engaged over there back in 1999. However, today re-affirmed why most people hate the [...]

I’m a model
In: Dumb People
28 May 2008Tonight my wife and I took a journey to the local mall. While we were walking through the mall, we heard the following exchange between a guy who I assume was a manager of some store, and a guy working one of the center kiosks. Guy: So you’re a model. Clerk: Yeah Guy: So what [...]
