Dreamhost (and status) down.

What’s worse than having your website and email down? Having your hosting provider be down too! They above image is from http://www.dreamhoststatus.com. So much for a status report.
While I wouldn’t say that DreamHost is the #1 hosting provider, it does offer a good service and the price isn’t terrible. An occasional hiccup in servers is […]

Free Kenneth Foster.

I was reading an article at TheNation.com which linked to this website. Kenneth Foster is being sentenced to death August 30, 2007 for a crime he didn’t commit. A passenger (Mauriceo Brown) in Fosters car got off and killed a man (Michael LaHood). Brown was executed in 2006 and even though nothing has been proven […]

Back on Safari

I have been going back and forth between Safari and Firefox like troubled young girl and her abuse ex-boyfriend who hits her. Sick analogy aside, I enjoy the wonders of Firefox for a couple of months, then I find myself back in the comfort of the Safari space. I do tend to miss the slew […]

Cat + Tiger = Toyger

So Wednesday I was at a friends house when his girlfriend introduced me to these Toygers. Toyger cats are described as “a striped breed domestic cat. The Toyger cat is descended from Bengal cat stock crossed with domestic cats. The aim was to cross these cats to produce a striped ‘toy tiger’.”
Toygers are still […]

Real UFOs or Advertising?

The video below was taken on the evening of August 6, 2007 in Haiti. Is it real? I doubt it, but it’s pretty crazy and well done if you ask me. As much as I would love for this to be the real thing, I have to say this is probably just viral marketing for […]

Add Another Car or Pamper Yourself?

I was having a pretty in-depth discussion with my two cousins about this topic the other day. Topic at hand was “If you were to have an extra $500 a month. Would you get another car or pamper yourself?” My cousins, being the caroholics they are of course opted to have a second car. I […]

Michael Pachter or Stephen Colbert?

Michael Pachter is a research analyst (known for his PS3 price drop predictions) and Stephen Colbert is the host of The Colbert Report and has several spots on the Daily Show, Cartoon Network, etc. I was browsing the web for a possible price drop rumor on my never-ending quest of whether I should get PS3 […]

Any Web Browser > Internet Explorer

I design and code websites for the many projects I have. Websites obviously run on web browsers. Web browsers vary from company to company. If your on a Windows machine, about 80% of you use Internet Explorer 6 or 7 by Microsoft. If your a bit more savvy you probably use Firefox. And if […]

Nintendo Wii for 955 Bucks!

In the mists of Tony’s everlasting console debates regarding feature/price, today I stumble across this little gem. So today I get this small ad catalog for a big retail chain here in Argentina (Fravega), and  looking around I spot this insane crap. That’s 2999 Argentine Pesos or 955.40 US Bucks for a Wii (according to XE.com), which is […]

Too many headaches women? Maybe it’s in your head… literally.

In the last week or two I’ve seen two stories of older women having headaches relieved after having an object removed from their heads. First was the 77-year-old Chinese woman who had a bullet lodged in her head from when she was 13 years old. Now it’s this 59-year-old German woman which had a pencil […]
