AT&T vs Verizon
A few months back I was looking at switching providers. For a couple of days I had two Galaxy Note 2 phones. One on Verizon, and one on AT&T. I decided to do some “speed/performance” testing. While traveling between Pennsylvania and Baltimore I conducted numerous performance tests against Speedtest.net. I figured I wouldn’t likely have […]
AVG Update and Screwing with your Search
I was able to fix most of the search values. Reset default page. Set search bar back to Google. But if I typed in the URL, the search went to AVG. Argh… After much searching, found the solution here: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/810780 Which was in turn found here http://forums.avg.com/ww-en/avg-free-forum?sec=thread&act=show&id=157513 , SOLUTION 1) Type in address-bar about:config […]
Is Microsoft that Daft? Yes…
Seriously, Steve Ballmer should have been fired years ago. I am hoping it’s very soon. The man is flat out an idiot of a CEO. Why do I feel this way? 1. He has repeatedly failed to see where the market is. 2. He has failed to leverage Microsoft brands and technologies. 3. He has […]
Adobe’s love of shotguns…
Adobe seems to have a love of shotguns, namely pointing it at itself and/or it’s users and pulling the trigger. *** I’ve been pretty vocal about my dislike for the present CEO. I sold all my Adobe shares (just to make that clear). And I really think Adobe is doing EVERYTHING it can to kill […]
Dear TV Network
When are you guys going to stop being stupid? Seriously, I do not understand why all of you networks “just don’t get it”. 1. Internet programming – I will never buy cable again. I watch a handful of shows and am tired of paying $150 for mostly nothing I want to watch. 2. Discovery Channel […]
QR code, Google believes it’s a buffalo. But Google’s wrong!
Google Kills Off Those Little Square Codes You Scan With Your Phone http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-03-31/tech/29979593_1_qr-codes-android-nfc-forum Why Google is completely and moronically wrong….

A friend posted about Code Warm up level challenge
Well, I didn’t have much time. And haven’t free coded in ages. I had an idea but it didn’t work perfectly. Tried to do just a mock-up and even that ran into trouble. (For whatever reason, my Level Up code is broken. It was working 20 minutes ago. But now _levelUp += 1; suddenly becomes […]
Steve Jobs: The End of the PC Era
While I may begrudge Steve Jobs on many of his and Apple’s policies. I admire him greatly as a visionary. Steve Jobs & Wozniak pretty much ushered in the era of the “personal computer” with Apple. Apple brought a lot of innovation to the PC world. One might also argue that Steve Jobs is personally […]
Highlighting a Row in Excel
At my new job I’ve been working with Excel & VBA Script. Something I’ve not really done before. I wanted the ability to highlight the row of the active cell. Makes for easier data entry. A number of examples are out on the web. However, most involve simply highlighting the entire row and clearing all […]
Circles – A Concept of Social Networking
Google just launched it’s Google+ social network. I was very curious, probably more so than the avg person to see their system. The result was somewhat a “bittersweet” moment for me. For nearly 5 years I have had a concept for a social networking site. The concept was “Circles”. I even endeavored to register some […]
