Caution: Sharp Edges!

I just received this in an email and had to post it.

Demolition

Just across the street where I work, a building is being demolished. I guess normally they'd just blow it up, but it's so close to the other buildings it's not really practical. I wish they'd blow it up anyway. They've

Swedish

This is too funny. It may even be worth downlloading the browser and going to the MSN site just to see it.

The 80's

In the 80's, it was all about the hair and the castles--at least in England anyway.

Searching for jobs online

Searching for jobs online always felt like a pointless endeavour. It’s incredibly easy and convenient, but I never got anywhere. No call backs, no emails, nothing. Actually, I did get a call from a guy trying to suck me in on a pyramid scheme with an e-commerce twist. It

Career aspirations

I’ve been slowly changing my current position from a casual part-time to full-time. Like many people, I’m motivated by career aspirations and the money that goes along with it. It all started when I was able to switch from two days to four. Months later, I got a

Browsers

Now that I have an iMac, I’ve been following Apple related news more closely. One recent development has been the creation of the Safari web browser by Apple. One of the features of Safari that Apple touts is it’s speed. I just don’t see it. When I

HotBot Relaunch

It looks like HotBot has been relaunched. For those not in the know, HotBot was a pretty popular search engine in the late 90's, until Google came along and destroyed them. Ah yes, the dizzying highs and terrifying lows of the internet. It's kind of suprising

Mac

I bought a mac today. An iMac to be precise. It's pretty damn cool and so is the iPod I bought with it. I guess they were both a Christmas present to myself, although I also want to use the Mac for web design/devlopment.
