Google Toolbar Awesomeness!
• June 20, 2006 • Browsers, Software • 1 comments
My wife works for a bank, and she forwarded me a phishing scam for Washington Mutual bank. Besides misspelling the word “customer” as “costomer”, it was pretty convincing for those who don’t know any better. When she sent it to me, I took a look at the page, and this is what Firefox+Google toolbar presented [...]

When we launched SimplePie Beta 2 last week, we launched with a couple of plugins. The first is a SimplePie Plugin for WordPress, the ever-popular blogging tool from the fine folks at automattic.

The proper way to blow your nose
• April 22, 2006 • Tutorials • 2 comments
I’ve had a head cold for the last 3 days (which is why some of you haven’t seen me online), and in that time I’ve gone through 5 rolls of toilet paper due to blowing my nose. I’ve tried various medicines, and although Sudafed was able to slow the drip, I’ve been blowing my nose [...]

• April 18, 2006 • Browsers, Code • No comments

According to Bugzilla, the patch has already been added to the trunk (although it’s not quite complete yet), and seeing as how its status has been set to blocking 1.8.1 (which according to this roadmap [...]
Movie Makers Just Don’t Get It
• April 13, 2006 • Apple, Technology, TV and Movies • No comments
With all of the recent hoopla about Sony dropping the UMD format (here and here), it’s little wonder why. The reason? This Think Secret posting gives all the explanation we need: Cinemanow bills itself as “the #1 legal movie download store” and sells movies a-la-carte, but for the same price, if not higher, in some [...]
We need your feeds!

RSS and Atom feeds that aren’t either UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1 have proven difficult to find, so I’m calling out to all of you. If you read or publish feeds that are in a character set other than these two, please post them here in the comments. We’ve just finished adding iconv support to SimplePie, and [...]
Vasecto-who?
• March 24, 2006 • Personal • 2 comments
WARNING: THIS POST CONTAINS TMI™ (Too Much Information)! Vasectomy. That’s right, no more kids for me. I decided a long, long time ago that I only ever wanted two kids. I have them, I love them, and I’m done. My wife said that she was kinda bummed out about it, but understood my decision. And [...]
