Just last night I talked about video search and how if Google did it, it would be all over the news. Today, exactly that happened. Google announced a video seach product that doesn’t even search videos, but just closed captioning (poorly I must add) and it gets all kinds of press. A search for Yahoo …

ABC decided to change their schedule this year so that Alias is opposite The West Wing. That’s unfortunate because we watch them both. What’s one to do? One week we TiVo’d one while watching the other live. We found that we’ve become quite unaccustomed to live TV though. We found the commercials very annoying and …
So Yahoo’s got a Desktop Search product, joining Google, Microsoft and others. It’s pretty good. It takes a while to start up, but searches are quite fast. These tools are of limited use for me since most of my data is not on my desktop (or laptop), but stored on some server somewhere. What would …
I’m a self-admitted emailaholic. But something strange has happened recently. I turned off my email. Thunderbird doesn’t seem to like it when I switch from the wired network to the wireless network, so I end up having to quit and restart it. The thing is that sometimes I forget to start it back up again. …
I saw this on Google today: Advertising Programs – Business Solutions – About Google ©2004 Google – Searching 8,058,044,651 web pages Google thinks it’s still 2004.

After the annual holiday confusion about who’s getting whom what, I decided there had to be something better than Amazon wishlists. I had previously looked at a bunch of other wishlist sites and didn’t like any of them. I was starting to work on building my own when I ran across Wishcentral, which did most …
Well, I finally did it. I found my 2000th cache. I did it with a week to spare in the year, too. To tell you the truth, getting to 2000 wasn’t very enjoyable, at least in the last month. Geocaching became something I “had” to do rather than something I wanted to do. I was …
And it rocks. Christmas and all has kept things hectic and I’m busy playing with it and hopefully collecting some accessories as gifts in the next few days. I talk more about it later. But first, my first picture taken with the camera on a partially willing subject.
I think the day has finally arrived. I sent another nastygram to Amazon on Friday about the status of my packages and this is what they said: During the holiday season it is common for UPS to not scan the package until it arrives at your local UPS hub. This is why there isn’t updated …
Anne was really in the mood for waffles last weekend, but for whever reason we didn’t get around to having them for breakfast. The dinner time discussion came around last night and she announced that she still wanted waffles. At first I outright refused. Breakfast for dinner? I don’t even know what to call that. …
