April 8th, 2009

I would love to fix any computer problems you might have - as long as they’re not hardware issues.
Tech support is one thing that I love doing, as I find it very rewarding. I also like knowing that I’m augmenting a user’s computing experience.

Federal Grand Jury is the 4th Branch of Government

April 1st, 2009

Reprinted with permission from Antoinette D. Walker’s comment with profanities removed.

All of us may one day serve as grand jurors in federal court, and I hope this article will educate the reader to his/her true power as granted by the Constitution. For that power, despite having been hidden for many years behind the veil of a legislative fraud, still exists in all of its glory in the 5th Amendment to the Constitution. The US Supreme Court has confirmed and reinforced that power.
So please, copy this report and paste it far and wide. It is not spin. It is not false. It is not for sale, it is not copyrighted by me, so paste and quote it freely. This report is the truth and we need truth, now, more than ever.

Cici’s Pizza Usability Fail

March 30th, 2009

I’ll make this one short and sweet. My girlfriend and I went into Cici’s just planning on getting 2 of the normal $5-some-odd buffet orders. When it came time to pay, I handed the guy behind the counter my debit card, but he pointed me to a swiper device in front of the register, so I assumed this was just one of those things where the customer does all the swiping & PIN entry or what have you, and the cashier would take care of the rest.
Not so.

Journalistic Fail

March 30th, 2009

Here’s the article involved: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090330/tv_nm/us_oreilly

Now, the reason this is a journalistic FAIL is that … well, just take a look at the article’s title: “Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly boycotting Sean Penn films.” Read more »

The Myth of Bipartisanship

February 10th, 2009

Washington politicians seem to always do two things: promise bipartisanship, and block the legislation from their opposite party.
Here, then, is the real definition of bipartisanship, as proposed by the Democrats:

Panda Express gets an F for user-friendliness tonight.

January 27th, 2009

Went down to our on-campus Panda Express this evening for supper. It’s been a while since I was there last, and things had changed a little (new overhead menus and different selection). Last time I was there, I could just walk up to the line, pick up a tray, and immediately tell the person behind the counter which side I wanted, followed by the entrees I wanted. It was understood that I wanted what’s now called a Panda Plate, and if I picked 2 entrees, I got the 2-entree price, and likewise if I named a third entree - unless I said I wanted something other than a Plate.

Web Developers: Test your sites in multiple versions of IE

January 27th, 2009

I have just discovered a great tool called IETester, which lets me test my sites in IE 5.5, 6, 7, 8b2, and also whatever I’ve got installed with Windows. The great thing about this is that it works with XP AND Vista… which is kinda necessary since my web-dev machine is a Vista laptop.
To top it all off, it borrows the Ribbon from MS Office 2007, and allows you to pick one of four slick window themes. (I like the black one! :) ) Read more »
