Granted, this example came about when searching for Microsoft’s own documentation, but in the old days you would never use the MS search to find something, you would most likely back out and go to Google and search MS documentation from there. However, today when searching for the specifications for “SharePoint workflow actions file DesignerTypes” [...]

No, not me juggling 3 robots, that would be too easy. (With lego mindstorms perhaps) I saw this clip and started thinking that the future for robots that juggle is looking brighter. http://www.break.com/index/ultra-high-speed-robot-reflexes.html

The Saga Of The Sprinkler Hose
Category: Food, rambling | Leave a Comment
So it hasn’t rained in this city for 8 weeks and we’re all starting to go a little mad trying to keep our foliage alive. I’m not alone in this. For the lucky ones (or wise) who installed sprinkler systems, their little green rectanglular pieces of heaven stand out like hips on Kelly Clarkson. I [...]

Obese PE Teachers
Category: Uncategorized, rambling | Leave a Comment
I’ve been lots of different sizes over the years, from extra large, to fat, to obese. Never during any of that time did I claim to be a physical education teacher. However, it has come to my attention that there are a great number of these couch potatoes whose job is soley to whip young [...]

Street Fighter Rock Sissors Paper
Category: rambling | Leave a Comment
I wonder if kids know that most of the sophisticated games they play are adaptions of simple games kids have played through the centuries. Street Fighter, for example, is just Rock Sissors Paper. Blanka’s powerful spin tackle attack is beaten by Chun Li’s low power/fast kick, and so on. Actually, the game is only fun [...]

This piece is brilliant! It sounds like my house, exept for the cable modem in the bedroom.

Adding to it, I have this PSP charger that is so blindingly bright I’ve had to hide it under the couch. Does it really have to double as a blue flashlight?

Family Guy losing its edge?
Category: rambling | Leave a Comment
After watching this Sunday’s Family Guy, I can’t help but think they’re losing their edge.

Here’s a quote from the TV complain board that sums up the problems with the characters exactly:
“Characters that I knew and loved have become mere shadows of their greatness and have been severely dumbed down. Stewie was once a brilliant character, [...]

Well, I’m done with blizzard games. I used to play diablo II until the great blizz decided I did something wrong, whatever that means. I received a notice (like many others) that my account has been suspended. I sent an email asking for clarification, explanation, anything. I get nothing in reply. A couple weeks later [...]

Lamest Rewards Ever
Category: Geek, rambling | Leave a Comment
So every time I go to Best Buy, I’m asked if I have a rewards card. Naturally I say no, which is inevitably followed up with the question “would you like to be a rewards card member?” Now, everyone wants to feel like they belong, so retailers try to capitalize on this human need by [...]

this post blank
Category: rambling | Leave a Comment
Ever notice how when textbooks leave a blank page, then put print on the page that states “this page intentionally left blank”? They have thereby failed in their attempt to leave a blank page. Think about it.
