You may have noticed that my blog is now suddenly home to random google-generated ads. You may find this weird or annoying. If so, I’m sorry… I’d heard a lot about AdSense in the past. I’ve heard success stories of people using it for advertising on their sites… and I even know some websites/blogs that […]

A Grown Man’s Hobby

May 22nd, 2008 · 7 Comments · dave, family, techno geeks

So there we were, two grown men, crossing a wooden plank in search of treasure. Our location (in normal person terms) would have been about 1500 North and 200 West, west side of the road where a wooden footbridge crosses the canal. In our language, we were at N 41° 45′ 34.6788″ W 111° 50′ […]

Okay this is a seriously geeky post. The technology is so wonderful, though, that I had to share. Watch this video: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/129.

I posted previously about Portal (with a promise to post again about the game’s ending). This post is about […]

March 29th, 2008 · 3 Comments · random, techno geeks, the funniest people we know

A few years ago my roommates and I decided to make a web page together. We did it mostly because we thought it would be funny to reset the “home page” on the computers of random friends – and by setting the home page to OUR page, we were in some way making our mark. […]

Wii Fit

March 28th, 2008 · 2 Comments · random, techno geeks

You all probably saw our post awhile ago about Microsoft’s Surface computer… If not, go look now… The same group that made the Surface parody also made a parody about Wii Fit (Nintendo’s new game for the Wii console).
