My faithful reader knows how I feel about Facebook, it is Evil. Yes, Evil with a capital E. What surprises me is how many companies are using Evil Facebook as their business presence. As I have said before I understand how Evil Facebook has become the new destination on the Interwebs. However the fact that they add advertisements sometimes means that there are some interesting juxtapositions.
You might be wondering why my frustration with NHL GameCenter is taking up so much of my blog recently. I have more topics coming, but am still working on the final details, it will be worth the wait. The reason it has been so much at the forefront is that the level of frustration is [more]
My faithful reader will remember when I wrote about the NHL making it difficult to be a fan. Well the trend continues and just keeps going. I ordered the NHL Center Ice package to allow online streaming after receiving an e-mail about it. It seemed like it would be a perfect fit for me. It [more]
I have decided that the Joby Orgi is not the case I am looking for, due to one characteristic that makes it difficult to use. It looked so promising in the Promotional YouTube Video. Go take a look, I will wait here. The majority of features, especially being able to have the case stand up [more]

This collection of data was not just images I have taken; it is also documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. What is often overlooked is that there are tools [more]
Often times the controls for a piece of software are not always the friendliest locations for one-handed operation. By one-handed operation I mean one hand on the keyboard, one hand on the mouse. When working in graphic programs I find myself working that way quite often.
