Pacific Northwest Tour part one

We’re taking in a nice vacation and tour of the Pacific Northwest. I thought I’d post a few pics for those who might be tuning in. We have hit some rain along the way, which is not really out of character for this time of the year. But, we have been very fortunate to also have some great weather and …

Frivolous, schmivolous… want to make a buck?… or maybe 300 million?

OK, so we have heard about some pretty wacky lawsuits over the years. It seems like there are a never ending supply of stupid (ops… I mean common sense and ethically challenged) people looking to make some free cash at someone else’s expense. You know what I’m talking about… people driving with coffee and then suing because it was hot …

Does anyone else find this a bit scary?

In the coming Windows Vista (the OS formerly known as Longhorn… Mmoooo!), Microsoft is promising the ability to access applications and desktops over the Internet without a virtual private network.

What is a Kudo?

After writing the last post, I started to wonder just what a ‘kudo’ is anyway. Well, much to my amazement, its not those little snack thingies after all. I’ll have to quickly cancel that order I just had sent to Mark. 😉 Well, according to my little on-line dictionary: kudos (as in “praise”) n. : an expression of approval and …

Wow… never though ‘I’ would have a blog…

Well, hello world, I guess… or at least the few people who might wonder into my cyber space. (Not including the friends I’ve dragged, kicking and screaming in here so I have at least a few visitors.) Now I just have to think of something cool to say, and find some time to write it up. No problemo, right? Anyway, …
