Another reason to drink coffee! As if I need more reasons to drink coffee…

Really Cheap Gas

Wednesday, August 24th, 2005

Well, not really. The photo at the right is of a gasoline station sign down the street from my house. $0.99 a gallon obviously dates it a bit. From the looks of the station, it’s been abandoned for quite some time.

Linux companies: cough up the cash!
“Letters demanding US$5000 for use of the Linux name were originally dismissed as a hoax. But according to the Sydney Morning Herald, the Open Sauce king is dead serious.”

Wednesday, August 17th, 2005

Apartheid in Hawaii:

This spammer’s stash could be yours
I have mixed feelings about this can-spam law. I’m not sure it’s the responsibility of the federal government to step in and regulate email. But I guess this lawfull way of dealing with it is better than letting vigilanties kill spammers, though.
Don’t get me wrong — I hate spam as [...]

Sunday, August 7th, 2005

Free Bible Verse Wallpaper - One thing I really enjoy doing is fiddling with computer graphics. I’ve decided that I can put some of the time I spend in Paint Shop Pro to good use by providing a website with some desktop wallpaper I’ve made.

Tuesday, August 2nd, 2005

Apple has always insisted that their users are not smart enough to handle more than one button on their mouse. So, people promptly replace their Apple mouse with one more efficient. I myself use a Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 4 on my Mac Mini (I use the same one with Windows, too).
Well, if the news of [...]
