8 Jan 2010Recently we had a pretty funny conversation with our Microsoft premier support tech. It was clear that a memo had gone out from up above and he was doing his part to push bing out to everyone that he could. Unfortunately, he forgot he was talking to engineers.

ClimateGate
In: In the news| Politics| Rants
3 Dec 2009For some reason, the Climate Gate articles have not made enough of a splash in the main stream media. I’m sure that the conspiracy theorist will have a reason why this is happening. I just don’t think that the story has gotten enough attention yet. So…here is a pretty good article [...]

5 of 20
In: In the news
28 Jun 2009The big boss and I were watching VH1’s Top 20 Countdown this morning and noticed something rather interesting. 5 of the 20 videos were by American Idol Alumni. Whether you are a fan of Idol or not, you have to admit it has been a rather impressive phenomenon.
