humbled

thanks to all who have called, texted, sent cards, emailed, responded to blogs, etc for my birthday. thanks also to all hispanic heritage folks for partying right along with me worldwide. we do it pinata style. thanks to my family for the fun times, parties, gifts, visits, meals, and all around well wishes for the…

It’s official, I’m learning Spanish.

For if no other reason than to be able to interpret the lyrics of the wanna-be-Selena concert that the nice people of the Bahia Mar on South Padre Island decided to throw starting at 11:08pm this Friday evening. Not that I have a six-month old or anything. Asleep. Since 8:15pm. I’d like to learn it…

it was killing me…

seeing my blog laid out the way it was. so un-user friendly. this isn’t a final stop on the re-design train, just a place to make a connection and catch the right rails for a final destination. there were several things I didn’t like about the other layout but the biggest was the fact that…

Happy April 1st

I haven’t participated/done an April Fools joke in a long time mostly because people are pretty aware of the day and if you aren’t the first person to get them on April First, then really don’t stand a chance. The web world though, seems to be another story. Google, in all of their humor and…

It’s a Woot-off!

One day, one day only. If you don’t know, learn it. Woot normally sells one product a day, once it’s gone the day is over. Randomly (seems like about every 30 days), they have a woot-off. When a product sells out, a new one is posted. This keeps going on until they get tired or…

I love the Internets…

where you can find literally anything you could ever imagine. Including: Cats that look like Hitler Seriously? They even have a forum with a rough estimate of some 10,000 posts! The Internet, not just a fad anymore.

The iPhone, for only $20k a year…

Abilene Christian University (ACU) will be the first school in the country to give out an iPhone (or Ipod touch) to every incoming freshmen starting this fall. Wow. Why? “Freshmen will use an iPhone or iPod touch to receive homework alerts, answer in-class surveys and quizzes, get directions to their professors’ offices, and check their…

My new job: Professional Interviewee

Get paid to go to job interviews: http://www.notchup.com/ Boasting over 15,000 people a day signing up, and over 1,000 companies already using the service. Interesting idea. If you’re wondering how they’re going to make money, they are betting on the fact that companies will be more willing to use them to find competent candidates than…

goodbye playoffs

it was nice to know you. and in a side note, did you know that I have a blog? it has become apparent that (n)either I or my clients have not been made aware to that fact.

Moving

We aren’t moving, but I feel like my work-life is. This is my new toy: Hopefully to become less and less of a toy and more of a tool over the next couple of weeks. It’s beautiful both in form and function. But it’s not a PC. Everything I know about computers is about to…

Santa prefers Lucky Strikes…

Merry Christmas kiddies. This year instead of leaving milk and cookies, leave Santa what he really wants… a delicious pack of Lucky Strikes.

Please take my stuff

A week or two ago I decided to remove some of the movies (all DVD’s) in our collection that we have never watched, watched and are ready to share, or know that I would have some explaining to do to my son about why we own two full seasons of a TV show referred to…

openHulu

A couple of months ago, NBC and Apple had a little fight. NBC wanted to raise the rates on its shows on iTunes. Steve Jobs (Apple) said no and thus NBC pulled all of its shows from iTunes. No more $1.99 clips of The Office, Earl, Sunday Night Football, or any other shows you might…

I want to wake up in the city that never sleeps…

but alas, tomorrow I will not. We are home. I will try and write more about our trip. When I catch up. But I am guessing my wife will write about it so I may not have to. The kid did great for the entire trip. And then he melted down when we got home.…

Start spreading the news…

We have arrived with 7 week old in tow and intentions of painting this town red. Plane rides were pretty good. On time from DFW to the dirty, dirty (Atlanta) with mostly sleep involved and only a little fuss towards the end. Hartsfield was like most other, just an airport. Atlanta to LaGuardia was fine…

Get WiiFit

Doesn’t say when it will be out. Not that I have a Wii, I would find a Wii if I could afford one, or even would attempt to fool myself into thinking I would actually exercise on it. But it looks like fun. http://e3nin.nintendo.com/wii_fit.html
