  • iPod Vending Machine

    I saw this in the mall the other day and I thought it was one of the most ridiculous things I’ve seen in a long time.  Yes, it is an iPod vending machine.  You swipe your credit card and punch in the number of the item you want. I really don’t have much to say…

  • Shiner – Test Video

    I am trying to find a simple solution that will allow me to upload and play videos on my website in a format similar to google video or YouTube, but it doesn’t look like there’s really anything good out right now that does that.  The closest thing I’ve found is to convert the video to…

  • Another Round of Toys

    I just went through another round of buying toys and I’m not sure I’m quite done yet.  My most recent purchases include yet another large hard drive (500 gig), next-gen game console, speaker wire, and more.   The Xbox 360 Elite edition recently came out and I had been eyeing it for a while leading…

  • Laura and Shiner Moved In

    The day has come.  Laura and Shiner have finally moved in!  I went to Austin this past weekend to get Laura, her stuff, and our dog and move it all up to Dallas.  I halfway expected it, but there was still some packing to be done.  Laura put in a good effort getting a good…

  • San Francisco: MS Project Server

    I’m back from my week in San Francisco for training on a Microsoft tool called Project Server.  To fill you in, my company is looking at tools for managing projects and the visibility of projects.  We already have licenses for MS Project Server (link), have it set up on a development box, and have been…

  • LorieAndJesse.com

    My brother recently proposed to his long time girlfriend (and now fiancée), Lorie.  I’m his best man, so I decided to make him a website.  Check out the photo gallery and sign the guestbook (on the right menu) while you are there.  As you might imagine, the theme is love based.  Their wedding colors are…

  • My bitch is in heat

    Laura has had Shiner in Austin pretty much since the day we got her.  She stayed with me for a week and comes to visit on the weekends, but other than that she has been in Austin with Laura.  We’ve taken her to two different vets and they each thought she was a different age…

  • Flamingcube Archive

    edit: I think I figured out the dynamic redirection issue. The flamingcube.com domain was redirecting to www.boshdirect.com for SEO (search engine optimization reasons). Now it points directly to the home directory and should accept names as if it were boshdirect.com – you should see the changes as soon as the information propagates across the internet.…

  • New Dog – Shiner

    So I got a new dog this past weekend!  I can't say that I found the dog, as it's more like she found me (or my brother). My brother, Jesse, works for Sprint and was at a Sam's Club for the day when a stray dog decided it wanted to go inside the building.  The…
