Killer Mechanic Shop in Eugene
Ok, so I’m a bit biased. But, I’m pretty proud of my old man, and he’s one of two mechanics at a really great auto repair shop in Eugene. They didn’t really have much of a website, so I put one together for them over the weekend. It’s small, but it does the job. Their [...]
Why Everyone Should Be Working on Side Projects
I’ve been talking with several people lately, and something that seems to keep coming up is side projects (I’m sure it has something to do with the fact that I’m currently working on a few myself). However, the gist of the conversation revolves around the fact that I think that anyone worth hiring should be [...]
Why don’t TV show characters exist on social media?
OK, I keep hearing about how the television networks are having a really hard time ‘breaking into’ new media, while also combating Tivo/torrent use and dwindling the ratings they cause. How it’s hard to know where and what to do to get viewers involved in shows off the tube. So far, the best many of [...]
Stat of the day
If you invested $1000 one year ago in the following you would have:
Delta Airlines: $49
AIG: $15
Fanny Mae: $2.50
However if you purchased $1000 worth of beer, drank it all and recycled the cans, you would have $219.
Something to think about.
Why is Fox News allowed to exist?
Personally, watching this makes me sick to my stomach. It’s funny that we’re supposed to watch these people on Fox News, who I’ve never heard of, and don’t seem to be that intelligent nor well-read, talk down about a guy who is just speaking openly about his personal opinions, which is his free will to [...]
Apple continues to get called out for misleading advertising
37signals wrote a piece recently discussing the real world differences between the iPhones 3G performance and the blazing “twice as fast” demonstration in the commercial.
Web pages load immediately. GPS picks up instantly. Files download about 3x faster than I’ve ever seen a file download — even over wi-fi. I don’t think standing on top [...]
Serious problem with Trial Software - and the Apple mistake
I recently tried out OmniFocus, Omni Group’s ‘Getting Things Done’ application. I actually liked it, a lot, yet decided not to buy it due to it’s combined price of $79.95 for the desktop version plus $19.99 price for the iPhone companion application. In the end, it was a good product, but seemed pricey considering the [...]
More proof kids don’t fear punishment enough these days
Alright. I often joke about looking forward to being a disciplinarian father when Holly and I ever get around to having kids. And I also often joke about the state of America and how nobody really fears punishment these days. That crime just seems to be increasing because our punishment system isn’t severe enough to [...]
The Onion: How Absolutely F-ed up TV News Reporting is-Missing Girl Probably Raped
I hate modern news coverage. HATE THEM!!! During the Utah Mining incident, I got physically ill by CNN within 3 minutes of watching. Completely selling the tragedy of others for their own financial gain. Adding nothing, but continually revolving, empty words to take up space until another NEWS FLASH comes in. It’s so bad that [...]
I hate this man.
Every day since I was 14 I’ve gotten up and looked in the mirror to see if my beard was coming in. During high school football, all the guys decided to not shave until we lost, nobody could tell I was participating. After college I realized my hope might not be realized. Since then I’ve [...]
