Safe and sound…
Well done Discovery crew!
Thank goodness that Eileen Collins and her crew made it back to Earth safely.
That sound you heard was a collective sigh of relief from all of the US. Interestingly, a co-worker was in London and that was a huge discussion topic there as well. Pretty cool!
Tour de Lance
Big Ups to Lance Armstrong! Not only for winning his incredible 7th consecutive Tour de France, but for being an inspiration to millions and, in my opinion, single-handedly keeping the world interested in bike racing.
I’ve gotta be honest…other than an occasional Greg LeMond glance, I knew very little about the Tour before Lance Armstrong. Now that he is retiring, it will be interesting how many people, other than the true fans, are really interested about the race next year, especially Americans.
What Mr. Armstrong has done is absolutely amazing and as the years go by, I have a feeling it will become even more amazing. Congratulations for being able to go out on top of your sport, as you deserve. Much respect!
Watch TV almost anywhere…
There is evidently a device out called the Slingbox that allows you to stream almost anything over the internet so that you can watch it from any location using a pc and the viewing software (which only works right now on Windows XP). Here is PC Magazine’s review.
Oh, the possibilities!!
(Thanks for the info Dog!)
Windows Desktop Widgets
So I’m interested in desktop widgets (is there not a more overused term than “widget”)
I’m looking at Konfabulator and DesktopX and leaning towards DesktopX.
Any experiences with either?
Curious…Mac or PC
Of you out there that own a Macintosh, I’m very curious why you went that route. And of the PC users, the same question.
– Compatibility?
– Number of Applications available?
– So you could tell Microsoft to piss off?
– Look and style?
As always…
A lot has been going on lately. Sorry for the leave of absence.
Well, let’s see…
– The Spurs did it, congrats.
– The Yankees are tanking and we aren’t to the All-Star break yet.
– It’s DAMN hot in Dallas.
– I’m strongly considering becoming a coffee drinker.
– Attack of the Show sucks without Kevin Rose.
I’m in Heaven…

Firefox Hacks
What I love about Firefox is that you don’t have to worry about making sure you have security updates and whether or not your browser is standards compliant, and you can work on customizing and extending your browser to work for you, look cool, and do cool things.
Here is a book, part of the O’Reilly “Hacks” series, Firefox Hacks that really allows you to get into the inner workings of Firefox and make it YOUR browser.
Highly recommended.
T.O. : Get the hell over yourself!!
We all know that Terrell Owens is a good football player. But, he is also a whiny, egotistic asshole…IMHO.
His latest tantrum is something that pisses me off about major sports in general.
If you negotiate a contract, it’s binding until the end of the contract, end of story. So what if you had a good year! That gives you absolutely NO right to hold out and demand more money.
And it’s real easy to justify this point…how many of you will give back money when you have a sucky year?
Just one of the MANY things that are wrong with major sports and the egos playing them…but don’t get me started.
New addition…
Sorry for my absence. We’ve been blessed with a new baby girl and that has taken up most of my time over the past 3 weeks, but the family is doing well.
