Monster Cable has got to be kidding
Just read this on Consumerist. This is a Monster Cable web site http://www.monstercable.com/monster_truth/ about the Monster Mini Golf lawsuit. From Monster Cable’s point of view. It’s a pretty pathetic read. They sued another company in another area of business because they used the word Monster in their business name. That’s it, it’s about over aggressive… Read more Monster Cable has got to be kidding
Now why didn’t Helen Thomas try that?
I don’t think this Iraqi journalist is going to be invited to the United States anytime soon. The President dodges well. It’s a fitting ending to President Bush’s last visit to Iraq.
Cold called by FindToto.org?

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
This morning the kids woke up to snow on the ground. It’s still snowing lightly and after I run some errands I’ll take some pictures.
WordPress 2.7 is shaping up nicely
I’ve had this blog on WordPress 2.7-beta using SVN for a while. So when it went release candidate, all I had to do was another just run another “svn up”. The comment enhancements are cool and Otto provided a good write up for modifying the files to take advantage of it. Implementing it and staying… Read more WordPress 2.7 is shaping up nicely
Speed Grade Wing Gundam
My son completed another model. This time the 1/200 Speed Grade Wing Gundam. I have to slow him down or we’ll run out of models for him to work on. This one is his third model this week. It’s great seeing him concentrate on the parts and following directions. He gets very focused on what… Read more Speed Grade Wing Gundam
