I just got the keyless entry and alarm system installed and it rules! I love being able to push a button and get into my car. When I start the car up the doors lock and when I turn the ignition off the doors unlock, all automatically. I’m now 31 and I haven’t had keyless entry, power windows, cruise control or anything like that ever since I’ve been driving so this is a big deal for me. What are standard features to most people are luxuries to me.

Although I’m pleased with the new Kia Sorento overall I’m a little disappointed in one thing: it’s virtually impossible to find aftermarket wheels for it. The problem is that although the bolt pattern is fine the offset is weird. Now, I spoke with the guy at the local Firestone …read more »

I was looking at some pictures the other day and realized that Orson is Traci’s clone: …read more »

I’ve now joined the growing number of conformists and people keeping up with the Joneses; I now …read more »

Maybe I was a little too strong in my criticism of using Internet Explorer. I was in the middle of a frustrating battle with IE and I’d had enough. I’m still mad, actually. Still, I suggest …read more »

Since I’m a nerd and I like playing around with webservers, I decided to try installing Phorum. [Phorum was replaced by phpBB.] Phorum is a message board system written in PHP that allows for threaded, two-way discussions among users. I wondered how much I would actually use something of this nature on a site like mine; after all, I already have a guestbook. Really though that is geared more toward users communicating with me in a public forum. Phorum, on the other hand, is …read more »

I was videotaping Orson’s bath tonight and ended up taking some still shots with the video camera. When I downloaded the pics I found four photos from March 6 of Orson. I’ve included those in the Photo Gallery.

The other cool thing is that I actually got several good pictures of Orson smiling …read more »

Now that I’ve been trying to code CSS for both Internet Explorer and Firefox I now understand fully why Firefox is so much better than IE. IE is a piece of shit that Microsoft has no intention of fixing because 90% of the population uses it. Another example of monopolistic software quality decline. I finally decided after spending hours trying to work around bugs in the way Explorer handles CSS that it wasn’t worth …read more »
