I’m liking the FireFox 4 beta…
I have always like the Mozilla’s line of browsers, from Communicator to Navigator to the current iterations. They have always either outclassed our outperformed the competition. That being said check out the new bookmark bar feature that uses the website favicon as a bookmark button. I am sure there are plenty of other features to […]
The Train / Crane
I was at the F train stop near near Prospect Park in Brooklyn. It had train wheels retrofitted to the undercarriage that connected a pressure wheel to the actual rubber of the normal drive wheels.

Effective striking methods
Being in the computer industry is sort of like being in the wild wild west. There is no computer workers labor union, no licenses, no governing body, and a government that understands so little of what is going on that they wisdom can not fathom the world around them.

Intuit = Extortion, but really they just have no quality control
I have been on the mac platform using OS X daily for about 9 years. When I was first introduced to it professionally, OS 8 had just been released and I was a Windows/Novell administrator at Carnegie Hall. Switching from Windows XP to OS X was a no-brainer, it just worked better and looked a […]
