Never going to be happy

Saturday, May 12th, 2007

I have talked about it before, that I believe we will never see a President with a positive approval rating throughout his presidency ever again.  It doesn’t matter what party or what they do, most will hate them because of the overwhelming negativity of media and opinion pages.  Want some proof?  A poll this week [...]

Wrong focus with environment

Friday, April 6th, 2007

I finally got around to watching the video by Channel 4 out of England called “The Great Global Warming Swindle”.  While I know that this video has its own biases with being connected to BP and other organizations that could benefit from global warming being downplayed, it is thought provoking nonetheless and is refreshing to [...]

America’s cycle

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007

Anyone who does not notice that our American culture goes through cycles isn’t paying attention. Today mirrors the late 60’s so much it is scary. An extreme distrust for anyone in power or government, a paranoid view of society and a willingness to accept multitudes of conspiracy theories. Global warming and polution [...]

Being defensive is bad for blogging

Friday, March 23rd, 2007

For full disclosure, I know the owner of weightlosswars.com well, though I have no financial or other interest in the company at all. In fact, while I am signed up for the service I haven’t used it for my own weight loss because I enjoy just doing things on my own. However, I [...]

Friday, March 16th, 2007

So this weekend has been pretty tough with my alma mater’s basketball team losing in the NCAA tourney and a few other random things, but luckily when I got home I saw a new flavor of Doritos on our fridge.  Apparently Wild White Nacho is a part of a competition Doritos is having for a [...]

Fun with text encoding

Monday, March 12th, 2007

We all love to see ? or ^A characters in our webpages. This comes usually from smart quotes or fancy apostrophes in Word being pasted into our webpages. By default webpages are rendered in ISO 8859-1 encoding. Over the last year I have learned how to get around about every possible reason for this in [...]

Nacho, nacho man!

Sunday, March 11th, 2007

I was thinking about my blog over the weekend and wondering how I could focus it in certain areas to make it more effective and I decided to split it into two subjects.  Food and recipes, and code help and reviews.  So I don’t get bored, I am just going to go every other day [...]

Get your trendy “Mexican Food” fix

Saturday, March 10th, 2007

I have stated earlier that I am not a big fan of the trendy “Mexican” restaurants around this area (Cafe Rio and Costa Vida), because their food is basically candied.   Not even near spicy enough, and an extreme lack of a range of flavors.  These places are so one dimensional it is funny.  Anyway, it [...]

My few thoughts on politics

Saturday, February 24th, 2007

I debated on whether to write about some political thoughts I have been having, but I am going to do it since so many things have been bothering me lately. So, I am going to turn on full rant mode to get it out of my system.  Hang on to your seats!
I have now received [...]
