So over the weekend (my weekend is MTW), I had a host of computer related problems. I figured that since it had been about a year, it was time for a fresh install of Windows XP. I probably should have done it earlier since all the crap Dell loads a new box up with, but [...]

I’ve made it back, but after 110+ degree temps, all night drinking binges, and Vegas buffet food, my immune system apparently shutdown on the plane and a picked up a nice bit of sickness, so I am working on my pictures and will hopefully get this stuff all together this weekend or earlier next week, [...]

I link to all these through Amazon, so you can listen to clips if something looks interesting. Here’s what I’ve been listening to in April:
TV On the Radio – Return to Cookie Mountain : This is a deeply weird, rocking album. So non-traditional, but so good. Start to finish this is a good album. I [...]

Engtech is running a meme to find out what web 2.0 applications we actually use. Sounds like a good survey, so I thought I would add my $.02.
The rules are:
Link to this post and the post of whoever tagged you.
Create a list of the web2.0 sites you use and categorize them from “daily use” [...]
