Aside from studying and hard work, there are other ways to pass math class with high grades.

Through years of web browsing, I've accumulated a massive collection of bookmarks; 1,057 according to my most recent count. Out of necessity, I have an elaborate folder structure in place to keep my bookmarks organized. The all-too-common motley collection of favourites that develops with many people is not a feasible option for me.
Since keeping my bookmarks/favourites organized is important to me, you can probably imagine that going to an other computer that doesn't make my beloved bookmarks available to me can be a little perplexing. There are three computers that I use on a fairly regular basis: desktop, laptop, and work computer. To keep my bookmarks synchronized between the different computers, I use Xmarks (previously known as Foxmarks).
I'm still a huge Mac fan, but it's certainly okay to poke fun at one's favourite brand once in a while. To be honest, I try to caution people who mistakenly think that a Macs never crash, die, or even hiccup. Truth is, they do. As the comic illustrates, they've even been known to light on fire or explode. Mind you, that was the fault of Sony batteries (not that I'm passing the buck).

This cartoon (credit to XKCD Comics) is almost too true. The more technically minded we become, the more prone we are to overlook the most basic common-sense answers. In the 1980's, people joked that folks wouldn't change the channel if the remote control was unable to be found. It's not because they were too lazy (as some have suggested). Rather, it's because we can't think outside of our technology box.
I'm not just pointing fingers at other people, though. I've been putting off signing and sending a waiver to my travel agent because I can't use my preferred method of sending and receiving. Today that ends.

I know that this is a bit morbid, but it made me laugh. Hope you find it a little amusing as well! Happy New Year, everyone. Be careful who mixes your drinks.
This is the first spinach dip that I ever tasted as a teen. I wasn't sure at first whether I would like it, but it got me hooked. We've been making it quite regularly at family events ever since.

It's seems like a little less than forever since I last wrote on my website. I suppose I could make a lame excuse about being up to my eyeballs in work, but I'm afraid that wouldn't be entirely true. Yes, I've been busy, but the main reason for my hiatus is that my site has simply not fallen under the "Priority" category as of late.
This is my second tutorial on Adium. In this tutorial, I cover Adium interface basics. It's pretty simple stuff.

This is the first of (hopefully) many tutorials that I will be providing on this site. I have been wanting to post some tutorials on my site for quite some time. However, I never had the resources (legally) before. Initially, I was thinking of creating some basic Mac OS X tutorials. In the last few months, Apple has posted many excellent tutorials, covering almost all of their programs and devices. There are a lot of excellent, free apps that are lacking solid video support documentation. I have a lot to learn about video tutorials, but I have to start somewhere. As with the rest of my site, hopefully someone finds this helpful. Please leave a comment if you are so inclined.
As I write this, I'm sitting behind a 19" monitor. The quality of the images and text on the screen is quite impressive. It's not a professional grade unit, it gets the job done. Monitors of this caliber are commonplace. If I were to walk into a Best Buy today, I would find many monitors much like this one for low low prices everyday (No, that was not a paid product placement. In fact, I don't really like Best Buy at all). I digress. Back to monitors. My point was that monitors these days are very...well..good. However, it was not too long ago, that the flat panel LCD was only a thing of science fiction. In those days, CRT's roamed the earth (Cathode Ray Tubes for uninitiated). During the late 1990's, they had evolved into bulky behemoths. They had sqare(ish) screens (4:3 ratios), and a large 19" CRT monitor would suck power like a herd of vacuum cleaners. Their shear size required that one have at least 3 acres of free desk space dedicated to the monitor alone.
