I guess I need to go to the grocery store more often, because I was blown away by the cost of orange juice. I picked up a half gallon of Tropicana orange juice that was on sale for $2.39. That’s $4.78 a gallon! What do you think costs more to produce, a gallon of orange [...]

I had posted about Vista’s startup sound here. In that post I commented that
“I’m willing to bet that before Vista ships you will be able to mute the startup sound just like I can on my PowerBook, and I’m sure they’ll expose a way to change or control it via the registry or group [...]

For some reason I have a hard time cutting up the girls food when they need help. Things like waffles, french toast, etc. give me a hard time. I found a quick and easy way to take care of this - a pizza cutter. You know, the metal wheel used to cut [...]

I believe this is my fourth Citrix iForum this year. As always, Citrix puts on a first class show, and I always enjoy Mark Templeton’s keynote, but this year the message felt like it has for the last few years - the same. It’s really all about the access. Presentation Server had very few new [...]

I finally got around to moving my old iBlog blog to Wordpress. The text formatting was a bit of a mess, but at least it is done. I deleted the old blog from my server, so at least everything is now located in one place and is searchable.

The US Airways flight from Pittsburgh to Orlando ended up being a non stop sales pitch trying to get people to apply for a Bank of America Visa card. I was trying to just relax and listen to music on my iPod but the announcements seemed to never end about applying for a Visa card. [...]

I think I have used browser alternatives for too long, because I am struggling with IE7. My Gmail has a little bit of an issue, but my Google Reader is a mess. I can’t see the next article until I have it highlighted in the reader and different articles are running together. Firefox has spoiled [...]
