iPhone: The Worst Product Ever

This is a bold statement from a lover of Apple products, but I have decided I need to go this route in order for me to be satisfied with the iPhone. A friend of mine, upon being asked to retell a joke or story, used to always say, "it's too built up." I feel this way …

Wordpress Functions

Low and behold I figured out something I didn't know how to do before I figured it out. ;-0

When I first started getting into Wordpress, I just jumped in. There wasn't a lot of thought on how to go about doing everything right, it was just the emphasis of getting …

When Your Tools Don't Work

I have to say, there isn't anything more frustrating when the tools you use to work, just won't work. I can't imagine if I was building a building and the crane I was using just wouldn't budge. I guess those workers are being paid on the hour, and are probably getting …

Google acquires Feedburner

I read something where someone said Google should acquire feedburner. I only noticed because I just went to feedburner.com and saw their new disclaimer. I kind of liked the separate entity of Feedburner, but their voice seems to match well with Google. We will …

How I found Jesus.

On Saturday, May 26th, Danielle and I left our home in North Portland for a short camping trip with her family over near Bend, Oregon. That was the last time we saw Jesus, our cat. I don't know if anyone has had a cat go missing before, but it's a really sucky …
