If you’re a geek like I am… you’d probably be interested in these items I just put on eBay:

Pristine Apple Newton Message Pad 120 +Charging Station
Palm IIIx with Leather Palm Executive Case
Palm IIIx with Think Outside Palm Expandable Keyboard

The opening bid prices for each of these items is $0.99 so take a look… they all [...]

I went to Guanajuato, Mexico this summer to attend a wedding, and I fell in love with the city.
Because I had to much fun there this year, I bought the domain ExpoloreGuanajuato.com, fully intending to build it out into a full-service information site about GTO… but I haven’t had the time, so, I’m [...]

Do you remember He-man? Defender of the Secrets of Greyskull?
Do you remember Cringer, He-man’s fearless friend?
Man I miss being eight year’s old some times.
Here’s a video of the opening sequence for you:

I had time to add five more auctions in eBay tonight:

Wacom Intuos3 6×8 Graphics Tablet - Professional Graphics Tablet for artists, photograpers, and doodlers.
Valeo 4″ Weight-lifting Belt - I honestly can’t believe I actually bought this… I don’t think I ever needed it… I wasn’t lifting that much weight… heh.
Corel Painter IX - The latest [...]

I’ve got a bunch of stuff sitting around the house taking up space, not being used, and in need of a good home, so… I’ve decided to start selling stuff on eBay instead of donating it, or trashing it. My loss is your gain. Take a look if you see something you like:

Apple [...]

Reading Josh’s post about his recent termination of his assistant last Friday makes me remember my first time to fire someone. His story brought back those same feelings I felt on the night before…
Ugh… firing people sucks.

I just want to point out how good a weblog can be as a marketing tool, with this example: The BNL Blog from none other than the Bare Naked Ladies, the band.
Reading the BNL Blog, which they’re writing while they’re recording their newest album, is totally getting me pumped up about the new album.
Examples:
From 10/21/2005:
We’re [...]

This just about sums up my feelings on the subject:

Happy Friday everyone!

Less as a competitive advantage

Excellent post here: No one asked me, but…
“I wonder how a CEO who just sold a couple of million dollars worth of his or her company’s stock can look at a potential customer with a straight face and say “do business with us.” How can you ask for confidence in your organization when you’ve just [...]

Here’s the top search queries that brought traffic to this website in September:

Have you ever wondered what version of Flash you have installed?
I needed to know what version I had installed this weekend, and I found this page:
http://www.quirksmode.org/js/flash.html
If you visit that website, it’ll tell you what version I have. I have Flash 8… nice to know, and almost impossible to find out using Safari [...]

I flew to Vegas the night before last (I had an appointment with a potential client this morning)… I was staying at the Flamingo Casino. Woohoo! Casino!
I got to my hotel around 4:00 p.m. Pacific, checked in, changed, and headed to the casino floor. After walking around a bit, and [...]

Do you have a little one in the family?
Have you thought about how you’re going to afford college for him/her? If you’re thinking about how to best save/invest for your child’s future, I’d highly recommend you read this Ask Metafilter post on investing for children.
The wife and I haven’t figured out how [...]

Here’s three online photo gallery software solutions: Simple PHP Gallery, Plogger, ZenPhoto. My buddy Josh switched to ZenPhoto recently, but I haven’t asked him if he likes it yet… Plogger looks cool from a weblog integration standpoint… as does some of the future dev work for ZenPhoto…
If Noel doesn’t turn out a good upgrade [...]

I just spent an hour watching the pilot episode of Close to Home on CBS, and I’ve gotta say “wow!”
The CBS website is sadly lacking in any detail about the show, and future episodes, which is sort of sad, but, the show totally rocks. It’s a crime drama about a new-mom/lawyer and how she [...]
