Now this is just sad.
Not content with getting its ass whipped repeatedly by search and online services, Microsoft now plans to pay enterprise customers for convincing its users to use Live search and services.
Yet another item that is just too sad to be real.
I’ll say this about Microsoft Live search and support searching.  The algorithms [...]

It seems like one of the cool things to do is to have multiple sites - multiple blogs, multiple photo albums (flickr, picasaweb, etc.)… just all things to all people. Why can’t there be one site that functions as the one site for a person and their identity? What is the requirement to [...]

So here I am at the car dealership, waiting on our car to get it’s 60,000 mile service. I fired up the laptop and curled up in the customer lounge to work a little, play a little… and listen to the iPod.
First off, the last podcast from Ask A Ninja is a real scream. [...]

1.  I hate websites that use people art that is taken from an angle high above their head.  I am so… incredibly… tired… of this angle.  It is the single most overused, overrated, idiotic, silly, stupid, unoriginal thing ever.  If you’re going to put clip art of random people on your website, please don’t climb [...]

I updated my Meditations on Vista page because, frankly, I can’t take it anymore. I lasted all of what… two weeks? One of those weeks I wasn’t even home. Vista is crap, folks. I’ll just wrap it up for you here and now.
Nothing to see here, move along.

I’m back, but very very tired.  I worked until 4:30am, then slept for a few hours, then jumped back in the car and hauled it to the airport.  I dozed off and on during the plane ride, then got home.  I’ve been mindless ever since.
I’m taking Monday and Tuesday off to let my brain cool [...]

Yes, I’m about to get on a plane again. Emergency trip to a southern coast of the U.S.
I’ve started using Vista for the last month or so of my expected Windows tenure. I thought it would be nice to try to use Vista and write some meditations on it. As I never [...]

Now from the Don’t Knock It Til You Try It Department comes word that I’ve fallen upon a copy of Windows Vista to try it out (yes, legally).  So I will do so on the primary x86 machine at home.
This will be, of course, the final determining factor about what I do… either branch off [...]

Apparently I’m not the only one who has noticed the iSight camera has disappeared.  While perusing through my web log analysis for the start of March, I discovered that at least 2 people have used the search term, “what happened to isight” to arrive here.
It’s gone, and that probably means something - but I’ve not [...]
