Facebook – let’s call it a draw.
Anyone who knows me, knows that I think facebook a huge waste of time. I don’t know, maybe if I wasn’t working my guts out trying to launch a business, I’d feel differently about it.
Anyway, when I logged into facebook to see about an event (that was only to be found on the privileged [...]
And just like that…
I end a years old relationship with Bloglines. You were good (maybe even the best), but that’s all changed now. Sorry.
I guess I’m giving Google Reader a try for now. I don’t know if it will last. After all, I am on the rebound.

Taxes 24-7
I dreamed about taxes last night. So yeah, now they’re ruining my days and my nights.
Inkscape templates for 960 Grid System.
As I mentioned a few days ago, I have some templates for Inkscape to use while mocking up websites using the 960 Grid System. Here they are. Tell me what’s ugly, bad and broken about them and I’ll make changes.

Go Vote
Vote because you can. Vote because you should. I don’t care who you vote for, but you have a civic duty to get yourself to the voting both and participate in your government.
Also, with voter turnout as low as it is, I figure there are about 60% of the people who have no business complaining [...]
Ekiga, Asterisk and VPNs
Things are always harder then they’re supposed to be. Plugging in a SIP client to Asterisk should be easy, right? Well, it is, if everything is just perfect. I took a few notes and a few screenshots to help others if they find this fairly typical setup is more difficult then it should [...]
Jerry Springer meets the Free Phone Call
This blog details a new service that allows you to make FREE phone calls… there are strings attached.
The deal is that you get a free 6 minute phone call, but you give up your privacy. The calls get published on the Internet for the world to hear. It’s better then tapping the pay [...]
Jabberless for now…
How come I can’t settle on a Jabber server? I’ve tried them all and none sticks out as my clear favorite. They all have things I love and hate about them. Oh well, I’ll pick one and get it running soon. I think I’m going to base my decision on which [...]
