    I read an article last night that gave me some very good ideas. It started with a poem: I always eat my peas with honey I’ve done it all my life They do taste kind of funny But it keeps them on my knife – anonymous In IT we are often doing the same things…

    Ok, so I’m not usually one to get overly involved in politics.  I follow things, but I find that often I’m one of the onlookers who lets things happen as they will.  We can’t let just anything happen with this vote.  This is really a big deal and it needs to be dealt with in…

    Ok, so Google created a browser. I haven’t spent a ton of time playing with it, but its worth a look if you haven’t downloaded it yet. It can be downloaded for windows only right now at http://google.com/chrome. Below are my thoughts: 1. It seems to load pages (particularly AJAX based apps) quite quickly. 2.…

    Piggybacking on my post from last night I thought I’d share a website that was brought to my attention that I’ve used a bit at work.  Its called nowdothis.com The idea behind it is that you go in and setup a list of tasks and it gives you the first task on the list.  Its…

    Tonight I was given a reason not to multi-task and I thought I would share it. See I always have this problem, TONS of things going on all the time in my head. What this usually leads me to do is work on bits and pieces of a bunch of things. I’ve been trying to…

    Tonight I was thinking about the word “Tomorrow”. It started because I was going to set some goals for tomorrow. Get up early (4:45am) and get to work being the main one so far. This isn’t going to be easy as its currently 11:30PM… But Tomorrow – there is that word again – is a…
