I’m a Geek, not a Nerd!
Nov 30th
You Are 32% Nerdy You’re a little nerdy, but no one would ever call you a nerd. You sometimes get into nerdy things, but only after they’ve become a part of mainstream culture. How Nerdy Are You? This goes to show, I’m a geek, not a nerd ;-) Tags: meme, blogthings, nerdy
The Beast Within
Nov 29th
I don’t know many people that don’t enjoy a nice steak or other form of bovine dish. The only vegetarians I knew were while I was working at Datacom and for the most part, because I like meat, we didn’t often eat together for lunch or at company functions. Can’t blame them. I guess anyone…
Telecom to become 3 companies
Nov 28th
Obviously Telecom isn’t happy about this, 3 companies is more expensive and cumbersome to split into than 2, but thats too bad really. While I do think that Telecom has been getting a bit of the brunt end lately, I don’t mind this decision too much. I think its definitely a good thing in the…
Spam rate triples in 6 months
Nov 28th
Actually, this doesn’t surprise me at all. Criminal gangs using hijacked computers are behind a surge in unwanted e-mails peddling sex, drugs and stock tips. The number of “spam” messages has tripled since June and now accounts for as many as nine out of 10 e-mails sent worldwide, according to U.S. email security company Postini.…
Adowable Girl, Cute Wii, BAD Language
Nov 28th
I think Daddy should watch his language when he’s playing video games ;-) I’m loving hearing the stories of people who are finding out there are muscles they didn’t even know existed in their body thanks to the Wii and its new controllers. I love the idea or an aerobics game for the Wii. Couch…
Barron’s says Google Overpriced – Duh!
Nov 27th
Back in January 2006 I made some interesting predictions about Google and their stock price. While they didn’t really pan out, they did double their over all value, even if their share price is only double what it was 18 months ago. ;-) Well, now it seems some people are starting to get a little…

Okay guys, this one is specifically for you. Its well known that every month the women in our lives go through a phase that gets politely called “The Monthly Cycle.” Its probably the most dreaded part of the month, not only for the inconvenience women suffer, but also for the fear factor it gives those…
MSM says MS Zune Sucks
Nov 26th
A close friend of mine was in a computer store on Black Friday and while there decided to take a look at media players for their mother. They asked the store clerk about the various brands other than the iPod given they already have and love the iPod and wanted to know what else was…
Hamilton signs with McLaren
Nov 25th
No great surprise given his performance in GP2, but its now official. Lewis Hamilton is now the #2 driver for McLaren. Now, Rosberg started this past season great, and then kind of faded away. Will Hamilton have a similar flare in next years F1? Briton Lewis Hamilton will race for McLaren next year alongside double…
Time to wind things down
Nov 24th
We find ourselves at the business end of the year. Christmas is upon us folks. The worst season of the year. As in past years, this December is going to be no different. I am going to pretty much recluse myself away for the majority of the month. Also, thanks to a certain person in…
