February 22, 2012
No comments
The kind folks at T-Mobile gave me one of the new Samsung Galaxy SII cell phones (retail $599.99, or $229.99 with 2 year contract discounts) to evaluate, so I thought I’d share my findings here. First blush: Inside the nifty, colorful box is the cell phone, a battery, a SIM card, a manual and [...]

This is a great video sent to me by a friend (thanks Jeff!). Shawn Achor not only has some really interesting points about the way the brain responds to being happy, but he’s quite funny too! Flash seems to have some odd behavior with "Ted" videos – you'll probably get an error about not being [...]

I live under a rock, so don’t blame me, but I had no idea that Kevin Spacey was good at doing impressions. This is hilarious:

Ok, this isn't so inane, but it is infuriating. Read the story, and leave your own comment on what you think. I was appalled that this was allowed to happen, and is STILL happening!
WordPress migration from Windows 2003 IIS to a Linux Ubuntu appliance (Debian)

This took me quite a while, and you may have noticed the downtime on this site as a result. I thought I’d share my process and solutions in case anybody else is trying to do something similar. These are my working notes from the migration, so please excuse any lack of polish. Word to the [...]
