Season 1 of The Pretender on DVD

Posted in Opinion at 1:40 am

Picked up my DVD set yesterday!! Later I’ll go into more detail, but I was such a huge fan of this series and so terribly crushed when it got cancelled. The USA network picked it up for awhile, but not too long. Then they did 2 special episodes to try to tie everything up, but those, in my opinion, fell short of satisfying.

The packaging looks cheesy and there aren’t many special features, but they managed to fit 21 episodes onto 4 DVD’s!!

Supposed new features of IE7 aka Rincon

Posted in Computer at 5:54 pm

Although a beta of IE7 is months away information about enhancements and features are starting to spread.

My favorite comment in this article is “Microsoft is wavering on the extent to which it plans to support CSS2 with IE 7.0”

Get it right Microsoft…do the right thing!

Most exciting sports time of the year

Posted in Sports at 8:18 pm

I would argue that this is the most exciting sports time of the year. The opening day of baseball just around the corner (although I have some mixed feelings about baseball this year) and the anticipation of the NCAA basketball tournament.

Opinions?

Project: NEW

Posted in Link at 3:40 am

This site was recently created and the first issue is out.

Let me quote the purpose: Web design tutorials for new web designers and designers new to web standards.

If you’re wondering what web standards are all about and how to become and think like a web designer, this might be a good place to start.

It looks promising…

How about them Buckeyes!!

Posted in Sports at 7:55 pm

Wow! Even before today’s win over number 1 ranked Illinois, I’ve been very proud of the Ohio State men’s basketball team. But what a game! I’ve been telling folks for weeks to mark their calendars for March 6th, national television, undefeated Illinois against Ohio State, at Columbus!

Thad Matta is exactly what that team needed and now with a new AD coming in, things are looking up for Buckeye sports.

Go Bucks!

Quote:
Matta was asked if the victory over Illinois makes his team’s postseason ban even more difficult to accept.

“Yeah. I thought we could win the national championship,” he joked. “And nobody’s ever going to know.”

Golden Bear Tragedy

Posted in News at 11:55 pm

The Nicklaus family suffered a tragic loss Tuesday evening when Jake Walter Nicklaus, the 17-month-old son of Steve and Krista Nicklaus, passed away as the result of an accidental drowning at the family’s home.

That is an exerpt from the statement made by the Nicklaus family on their Web site.

As a HUGE Jack Nicklaus fan, but more so as a father, my heartfelt condolences go out to the Nicklaus family for their loss.

The statement goes on to make this statement:
In lieu of flowers, donations should be made to the Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation, Inc., benefiting the Nicklaus Children’s Hospital at St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach. Donations made “In Memory of Jake Walter Nicklaus (JWN)” can be sent to the Foundation office, 927 45th Street, Suite 206, West Palm Beach, Florida, 33407.

Well, this year, I have not seen ANY of the Best Picture nominees.

Million Dollar Baby won, but do you agree with it?

Just spell my name right!!

This is the third database I’ve come across lately that cannot accommodate a second capital letter in a name. For instance, Ronald McDonald comes out as Ronald Mcdonald.

I don’t know about anyone who has such a name, but it drives me CRAZY to see my name spelled wrong!!!

I’ve spoken to two of the companies who explained that their database simply cannot make the distinction and being a computer guy, I can kinda see that, but geez, I don’t think it would be THAT difficult to fix and it seems respectful of your clients to make the correction.

Am I blowing this out of proportion or does this tick anyone else off?
