I love how Microsoft claims that there was no outage. Sure, only a small percentage of people were able to log in and play over the past week, but that’s not an outage. Apparently the servers never went down, they were just overwhelmed. Next, the power company will say “Sure, only a small percentage of [...]

I hope that this year there’s one more iPhone feature… Flash on the iPhone. There’s probably going to be an update on the SDK, and what better way to show their support to the developers by announcing that Adobe’s been using the SDK to write a native Flash Player plugin? The only way they could [...]

So I finally got on my lazy butt (I sit while I code, don’t you?) to finish coding the choreography stuffs. There’s a couple tiny bugs in my code, mostly having to do with sorting. I also need to finish up the metadata so the ASDocs are more useful. Anyway, have at it… Demo | [...]

I just read a little article suggesting that Milwaukee is a great O’Hare alternative. While yes, Milwaukee is more mainstream, the far better alternative is Rockford. Sure, the list of destinations is limited, but if you’re flying to Denver or anywhere United flies to in that direction (or any of the numerous vacation spots other [...]

I’ve been following Ron Paul for awhile. Very interesting fellow with very interesting ideas. He has an amazing following, obviously consisting of a younger, computer-savvy generation. I was reading some random blog complaining about how CNBC did an after-debate poll online to see who won. Ron Paul was ahead with somewhere around 75% of the [...]

Thought I’d share this story… A friend of mine developed a chest condition that, after seeing many doctors, was left uneasy in that none of them had any solid plan of how to correct the problem. Eventually he found a specialist who not only had performed the needed corrective surgery, but was also a volunteer [...]
