  • Listening to classical music helps me stay sane … patience is a virtue!

    Listening to classical music helps me stay sane. Especially when THE LACK of daylight, the bland presence of gray cubicle walls, passive aggressive BS and the cold stare, back at me, of two 17 inches monitors make their oppression painfully obvious. Luckily I’m not easily bothered by my environment, because I realize and understand cause…

  • Ad4Game.com fix your web forms

    Yesterday morning I tried signing up as ad publisher on Ad4Games.com. I own few gaming sites and want to show more targeted advertisements, so this ad network seemed as a decent choice. I saw them serving banners on few other websites. When I tried to register, the town I live in is comprised of two…

  • Get of the phone asshole, your sons are about to drown.

    Amanda and I spend last weekend at Kalahari resorts’ Wisconsin location. In their indoors park they have a lazy river, the dept of which varies from 1 foot and 9 inches to little over 3 feet, and at places the current is actually fast. As Amanda and I were floating down the river we came…

  • Cajun crawfish for dinner

    Just a while ago I finished 3 pounds of Cajun crawfish and 2 cans of Mountain Dew (my favorite non-alcoholic drink), and it was awesome. Sadly the crawfish, that are available in my area from the only place in southern Chicago, if not in the whole Chicago metropolitan area, are no longer produced and packaged…

  • Oh Snap! – Red Alert 3

    Wow, just wow! This is the best game ad I have seen in very, very long time. Once again the Command and Conquer community is in for a visual treat. It looks like the upcoming Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 has a great cast of actors. I really enjoy watching this video. I really…

Here are a few links: I decided to send Valve a quick email, and I think that everyone that is agains this happenign should do as well. Good morning, TechCrunch and TheInquirer are reporting…

  • Environmentally friendly!! What? Just keep sending me the Paper statement.

    I really don’t like it when companies decide to start sending me e-statements instead of a paper statements under the pretext “… reflect our commitment to the environment and will provide our customers with a new ‘earth friendly’ service.”. Uhh … What? Just keep that paper statement coming, because I am not going to log…

  • Google’s Chrome browser

    magitam: Google’s Non-launch of Chrome – do you think we should hold Google accountable for their broken promise? http://life.magitam.org.uk/2008/09/02/google-too-big-to-keep-its-promise/ Google has decided to create their own browser, dubbed Chrome. It is open source based on WebKit and powered by Google Gears. Another browser amongst many others. I don’t particularly care for most of Google’s products,…

  • WordPress plugins – why not share them.

    The WordPress community is vast. WordPress is one of the major blog CMS on the Internet. I very much enjoy browsing the Web and whenever I come across a blog, I find interesting, I tend to check, or at leased attempt to, what plugins are used on the blog. Anyone, who is familiar with the…

  • Religious oxymoron?

    On the way to work this morning I ended up behind a van. The van had the Jesus fish on its rear door, but I could also see a dream catcher hanging from the driver’s visor. Now, doesn’t this classify as a religious oxymoron? I mean, how can you follow Jesus and then believe in…
