We got it. Now what!?

This is a hilarious guide to distinguishing aliens from humans. Here’s an excerpt. Read the rest at Neopoleon.com.

At least this advice worked for us.

I was thinking about this question after reading an article in a magazine about setting goals. The article had four steps for setting goals, and six steps for meeting them. Included were your usual tips for visualizing your goal, writing it down, and making a plan of action to meet the goal.

We found a place we like and we’re making an offer. Wish us luck.

The Excorcist In 30 seconds is one of the funniest flash animations I’ve seen in a while.

I’ve seen the future and it is good. Adam Kinney has a demo Rss Aggregator for Longhorn at his site, http://www.adamkinney.com/. It’s very barebones right now, but you can just see the potential for how beautiful this will and does look. What struck me was how nice the text of a blog entry looked in the text window. Nice work adam!

Tired of annoying “pre-approved” credit card offers? I sure am. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) of 1970 as amended in 1996, the four major credit bureaus have the right to sell your information to companies that want to offer you a credit card. Fortunately, the amendment also stipulated that credit bureaus must provide a way for consumers to have their names excluded from pre-approval lists. If you’re a United States citizen sick of getting pre-screened credit card offers, this article will show you how to avoid receiving them.

A while ago, I posted an entry imagining the next generation of Rss Aggregators and blogging engines that would in effect, create a better social network than Frienster, Tribe, etc…

I received this email from a coworker. It makes you stop and think, doesn’t it?

Before flying the friendly skies, you need to read this. Hilarious! Neopoleon.com

I wish I had this a while ago. Log Parser allows you to run SQL like queries against your IIS log files. Check it out here.

I’m working on a project to add beauty back to the blogging experience, even when read by an Rss Aggregator.
