Twitter Doesn’t Like FireFox

I’ve been surfing through quite a lot of tweetheads at Twitter, and adding a few of them as friends, but for some reason the number of friends for my profile stayed the same no matter how many people I added. I chalked this up for being a time delay before the server updated my profile, but I finally had the presence of mine to try…..

The Dramatic Chipmunk - Director’s Cut

You’ve seen the dramatic chipmunk, but here’s what you didn’t see! :D

By the way, I think that’s actually a prairie dog… :wideeyed:

Update: The dramatic chipmunk (prairie dog) actually originated from a Japanese show.…..

My Gamble With a Casino

Some time ago my folks and I decided to celebrate my last birthday by taking a trip to the casinos. We had a coupon for an all you can eat buffet, so I was immediately sold on the idea. :D

Wi-Fi Fun With My Neighbor

Occasionally I break out my laptop at home to test a few things on my blog, or if I just want to surf the net while I’m cooking something in the kitchen. Lately though I noticed my wi-fi access wasn’t moving as quick as I’d like. I was using a Linksys router, and my signal was excellent, so I wasn’t sure what the problem was. But since…..

When Adsense Makes No SENSE At All

After putting up Google ads on my blog, I noticed scrolling in Firefox seemed to get choppy when the text ads came into view, but when they weren’t scrolling was smooth as usual. Great, another bug I needed to hunt down. I can just forget about getting any sleep this week. Web design, @#$%! :pullhair:

Fortunately though, I got lucky and found out a line…..

Making Sense of Adsense and Blogging

For the first time since I started blogging many moons ago, I finally put up Google’s Adsense on my site. This I do, 4 years after its release, with the Internet now completely saturated with these types of ads everywhere you surf, during the worst advertising slump since 2000. I’m brilliant.

Oh well. I’m obviously not going to hold my breath waiting for the money to…..

Lincoln’s Link For Love

A few weeks ago I came across a blog dedicated to discussing classic romantic ideas for couples. I really liked the fact that the author (Phil Van Treuren) emphasizes traditional romance as a much needed ingredient to help sustain loving relationships.

As someone who’s lived his entire life as a hopeless romantic, I certainly appreciate those who still prescribe to the virtues of good old fashioned romance, even…..
