The love of gift cards is the root of all that is evil with money� or so say shopping purists who frown on those who purchase gift cards as lazy or lacking in the �social skills� to find the perfect gift for a friend or loved one. Cash from Grandma on a birthday or a [...]

A Palm Treo cradle – LEGO style
I was looking around for a charging cradle that would allow me to store my Palm Treo 650 or 680 in an upright position. Most of the ones that I’ve seen advertised range in price from $29 to $49 USD. While esthetically useful, the practicality of obtaining a cradle meant having yet another spare power [...]
Paper Nirvana
[Ed. note: If you haven't already checked out Kerry's personal blog, WonderDawg, this would be a great time to do so! He regularly writes about offbeat topics of interest, and offers a unique view on just about everything. This article will also be appearing on his site, so if you enjoy it, definitely check out what's [...]
pocketnow.com is Down
For those of you that are curious… Yes, pocketnow.com is down right now. The server that we’re sitting on has a corrupt file system. Brandon, the site’s Editor-in-Chief is working hard with our host to resolve everything; but he’s not very forth coming with the information. I suspect he’s very stressed right now, trying to [...]
SuperBowl Tickets Anyone?
With the National Football League in high gear for the SuperBowl February 4, 2007, I’m reminded of SuperBowls past. Perhaps your favorite team didn’t make the playoffs – there’s always next year! If not, the following year! Back in the late nineties, the National Football League chose Sprint to be the league’s official telecommunications provider. [...]
Holy Cow…It’s Cold!
I can’t remember the last time we had this much snow! For those of you that are in Australia – ahem, Mitchell and Jenneth – enjoying your 100 degree summer heat, let this pictorial be a reminder of the freaky things nature is doing in Texas… Sarah woke me up at 5 am this morning [...]
Pimping my Mac (Aquarium)
This past August in Nashville, Tennessee it was too hot to be outside to do any yard work, so I decided to work on a project in the comfort of air conditioning. Everything I do or build is a mentally consuming exercise. I Google for ideas, pictures and documentation. Later I sketch, process and make [...]
Ninja’s Serving Up Food?
Last time we saw the strangest restaurant. Next we have what I would have to say is the coolest restaurant… a Ninja theme restaurant. Yes, that’s right - Ninja’s! We all know how cool Ninja’s are, from all the movies and the most famous Ninja of all, Batman (see ‘Batman Begins’, if you dont know)… but [...]
This Just About Sums It Up…
Some back-story on my mom: She is the queen of forwarding questionable email advice that includes every popular urban legend imaginable. It got so bad for a while that I would simply respond to each message with a Snopes link. So tonight my mother (of all people) sent this to me…and some of these made [...]
Slightly off topic…Dexter!
One of my favorite new series of books are those by Jeff Lindsay about his “serial killer that only kills bad people,” Dexter. The blurb for Darkly Dreaming Dexter, the first book in the series reads, “Meet Dexter Morgan, a polite wolf in sheep’s clothing. He’s handsome and charming, but something in his past has [...]
The Cobra Show!
On the last day of Mobius 2006, John Starkweather, Jenneth Orantia, Derek Snyder, Joel Evans and I went to the Phuket Cobra Show. What happened next was nothing short of amazing! Click these links…if you dare! My new friend, the photo-op snake One guy, two cobras One guy, three lightning fast vipers One guy and [...]
