PT Barnum’s rule lives alive and well that the buggiest, most inexplicable, frustrating (tabless) Web browser in terns of its refusal to follow Web Standards has the most users. Again, I have found that my time in web design is spent: * 30% developing a solid design in a web-standard browser such as FireFox * […]
Some people may pay heed to the title of Glen Campbell songs (who is a local, and has even taken tours of the Phoenix Jail) and give me a call or email before landing at Sky Harbor Airport. Micheal Roy, from Wesleyan, and I have exchanged emails for a few years but have always missed […]
I can blog about my big toe and rude telephone trees, but I’ve been completely lax in blogging my experience in going back to the classroom. This semester, my wife and I have been taking an Arizona History class, offered at Maricopa’s Scottsdale Community College. What is remarkable, is the teacher, and reason for taking […]

After running these and restarted, the machine was totally frozen about 90% into the startup sequence. It was toast. Stretching my minimal PC rescue skills, I was able […]

I’ve been hibernating but not necessarily in a subconscious state. First it was the Thanksgiving cold that decided to stay at least a week. Then it was the rush at the deadline of our Learning Grants applications, our internal grants program that has a 100% online application and review system (which means about 100% of […]
Swallowed whole. The Company Formerly Known As Macromedia. No funny joined names. 7 years ago, I might have cared. Today? A collective yawwwwwwn.
Once they were mighty vessels of communication, plowing the Internet waters of the 1980s, 1990s. Yes, the big ships labeled “Listservs” were the place for social networking then, information exchange. I’ve remarked before about listservs being on the Quagga Trail and I keep my subscriptions to the barest minimum. Today, after posting replying to something […]
I feel like I have almost nothing of an immune system, some of this I acknowledge to being diabetic, and maybe the rest to some strong voodoo. I think someone could sneeze in New Jersey and I would end up with a cold in Arizona. Anyhow, the viruses got shared at our home over Thanksgiving, […]
