We'll Be Driving Buicks to the Moon

Commemorative Apollo Moon Map from Google

I am a big fan of Google Maps. It found the route I use to cut through the neighborhoods on my way to work everyday. Now you can use the new Google Moon Map to find some prime real estate guaranteed to be obiting distance of the nearest McStarbucks-Mart. Make sure you zoom all the way in.

The Best of the Freeware

14 Jul

I love free software for Windows and Macintosh.

After reading articles about the best Macintosh software at Andy Budd, Futurosity, Garrett Dimon, Macslack, TUAW, Whitespace, YourTotalSite, and for Windows at Digital Web Magazine about free tools for freelancing, I decided to incorporate some of their ideas into my article. After having just purchased a Mac, I was in search of the best [free] software I could find. I would be starting from scratch, not having ever owned or used a Macintosh, so I figured I could make a nice, usable list for myself and some of my friends who are about to make the same plunge I did. I not only wanted to replicate some of the software on my PC, but I was really aiming to replace the PC with my Mac. In essence, a complete migration. So, here’s the list of the best freeware tools I found:

So, what do you and Jason talk about?

30 Jun

Despite what you may think, Star Wars only comes up in our discussions about 5% of the time.

That’s a question Elizabeth asks me every so often. She wants to know how his wedding plans are going while I want to know if he reached the warp level on Super Mario Bros.

You see, the conversations between Jason and I have always been like this. We aren’t long-lost friends or even casual acquaintances. We’re tight. We’re on the same level. We’re one with each other (in a non-homosexual sort of way… not that there’s anything wrong with that). Simply put, we’ve strongly shared the same interests since pre-90′s.

I could talk for days about our friendship, but what I’m getting at is our IM discussions. Almost daily, we talk about things of interest [to us]. A while back I stated I’m going to blog those conversations. Well, that day is today. Starting with March 30 (because that’s as far back as my logs go for this year since my last PC HDD crash), I’ll be posting a few topics at a time. Maybe you’ll find something of interest, but probably you’ll be bored (if you don’t care what we’re talking about).

So, here’s a list of the posts/topics. I hope you’ll find parts of this and future posts at least a little useful.
