We've all heard the adage "It's better to remain silent and be thought of as dumb than to speak and remove all doubt." While this is certainly good advice, I don't think it's entirely correct. Let me digress for a moment... Tonight, I was doing some last minute Christmas shopping...

I don't remember the details exactly, but at some point in my very early childhood, me and the folks were flying to Pittsburgh for the holidays. I remember pop being really adamant about "flying 1st class so we don't have to put up with all the B__S___". I had already flown a few times...

I know I huff and puff about this a lot, but it drives me insane. Recently, in the ADO.NET NG, a recruiter posted the following.

Sahil and I have been friends for a long time since then, but to this day, he's yet to give me the Cobra, Turbin and Flute that I've been hitting him up for. Yes, I'm still salty about it. Well, I just saw this piece on how bad a55 Dingos are. . Well, since Brian is in Australia, if he and...

A few years ago, I read a truly excellent book called Why Business People Speak Like Idiots: A Bullfighter's Guide .

The community server panel , like all mainstream blog engines, has a feature that allows you to approve comments. You can create word lists to automatically filter comments in an effort to eliminate spam. You can search your comments marked spam and delete them. The major problem though is that the spam...

I'm probably going to hell for even reading this, let alone posting a link to it. Atheists/Agnostics and Christians that can laugh at some of the less desirable aspects of their faith will get a good chuckle out of it. If you are of the persuasion that thinks that laughing at any aspect of religion...
