MacBook Battery X Problem

The other day I turned on my MacBook (thanks Reena! - still waiting for the “real” power charger…) and noticed the battery had a black X in it. I had it plugged in, it wasn’t charging. I unplugged it, and the MacBook shut down. Dang.
I unseated the battery, put it back in, and plugged it [...]

Relationships and Geeks

Saw a post this morning on Geeks are Sexy, about “Why Geeks Shouldn’t Change For Anybody”, which has a clip from Diggnation (which, I would love to do a show like this, just need someone to do it with).. anyways..

Time to Reset?

The xkcd comic today says it all, which actually got me thinking about writing this post

Congratulations Jeff and Lisa …

Jeff and Lisa, had a brand new baby boy! Congrats!

Finally in Madison!

Finally made it to Madison, late Tuesday night, and moved into the new apartment yesterday. Finally back to business as usual, at my desk and chair :) Although I didn’t really need to see snow flurries last night!

Social Network Overload

Today I decided to get rid of some of the Social Network Overload. I deleted my twitter, pownce, mashable accounts. I went to Myspace and Facebook and got rid of people that were just creating too much noise and not enough value, or that I really didn’t know. I am sure there is more I [...]

It’s all in the family… My Uncle Matt is a MS Access to SQL Server Conversion Expert!

Last weekend I went out to Florida to visit my Aunt Jen and Uncle Matt, I have never been to Florida so this was cool. I knew that Matt had www.palmbeachdatabase.com - I took a look at the site a couple years ago but never really dug into it. Turns out he is like one [...]
