Booing the Former President on Inauguration Day Shows Very Poor Taste!

311 days ago

There are things that people do that are in poor taste. Some things that come to mind is scavenging at the dump (yeah, I saw this guy do that one time), yelling at the waitress for onions on your burger, or leaving the lavatory without property sanitizing your hands. If you do any of those things you are likely guilty of poor taste. Now, I don't really like Bush nor do I like Obama but I do show proper respect to both of these individuals. Being a Republican without a party I tend to starkly disagree with much of President Obama's platform. I understand that many people have a lot of pent up emotion and anger toward the decisions the previous administration has made. Personally I have much of it toward both former President Bush and President Obama, but there is absolutely no way I would ever boo either of them at the inaugural ceremony! Apparently many of those in attendance choose to boo anytime President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney where shown on the screen. ...

Product Reviews: Westinghouse 32H570D & Jensen HD5112

463 days ago

I don't normally do product reviews on my blog but recently I have come across some really poor electronics and have had such a bad experience I want to warn any potential buyer -- These products are beyond poor, they are unacceptable! So I have decided that at least for the time being I would share my experiences online. There are all kinds of new electronics out there to buy. Flat screen TV's, iPods, iPhones, HD Radio's, BluRay, etc.. However, I personally feel that there are some companies who's business model is to produce junk and sell it as these new style electronics. In the case of both of these products it is obvious that they rushed to market in such a way that makes them completely worthless! This is much reminiscent of the late 90's where computer manufacturers were pushing out components before they were ready resulting in very unstable PC's! Another thing to note is that I am a little more savvy than the average consumer. Not to tout too much my credentials as ...

Nerd Quiz

For now on you may address me as my proper title: I wish the title was a little less blasphemous; therefore you may alternately call me 'King Nerd'. That would also match with my wife who is a "Slightly Dorky Nerd Queen". I also scored quite high on the version 1.0 test: Remember, that is 92 percentile! --Nathan Zaugg

3D Modeling With Google

533 days ago

Those who know me will tell you that Microsoft might as well just put me on payroll because I talk about their new products all day long. I have even characterized myself as an "Unofficial, Unpaid, Microsoft Solutions Evangelist". Having said that, I know what's good and bad about the products I love so much. I also know when someone else has something worth taking a look at. Google Defined Google : very successful Internet advertising company seeking to find, buy, and evolve technology that has promise and then figure out a way to turn a profit on the new technology. And they are very good at what they do. When Google purchased KeyHole (Google Earth) everyone started scratching their heads and wondered why! I may not understand exactly how but I am almost positive that they have turned a profit on it. Well, here is another interesting gem. Google SketchUp is a armature 3D modeling tool. It's easy to pick up and has some pretty cool features. I ...

536 days ago

Microsoft Silverlight 2.0 Beta 2 has been released. This version is supposed to be pretty stable as I understand it. The tools on the other hand, still feel very much like a beta! I had a heck of a time getting this junk installed! The link to download Silverlight 2.0 Beta 2 for Visual Studio is here: http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/ (note: This installation package includes all you need including Silverlight runtime and SDK) My Installation Isssues Installer splash, so far so good. I got to know these dialogs pretty good as I'd tried this many times! It makes you close all browsers! Ok, sure! DANG IT! What now? So you're telling me that I can't have a patch? Here is the output of the error: Created new ExePerformer for Exe item [6/9/2008, 13:48:11] Action: Performing Action on Exe at c:\6472026481f78458c12aa62cd2\silverlight_uninstallrtmpatches.exe...
