Going through the submissions to the new Android Developer Challenge and I have to say some of the applications are really cool. I am really like the depth and breadth of the applications and the functionality that the Android platform provides. I need...

Been a while, but I need to get back into the swing of things and work on all the little projects that I have started. Need to pick one or two and focus on them until they reach a good level of completion. Posted from my new Android G-1 phone. It is...

Still alive. The title of this post says it all. I need to get back on track. Obviously, I did not do the polyphasic sleep stuff. I did a couple of days, but not on purpose . ...

I was intrigued when Steve Pavlina talked about Polyphasic Sleep before and I recently came across PureDoxyk who has been Polyphasic for a long time now. I am working from home for the next couple of months with only a couple of trips to the client, so...

Been working on getting my other sites. Got some stuff on WebConundrum.com now. Not much, but it is a start. I put an Anagram Generator that I wrote in SilverLight out there. I actually use it help with solving some of the puzzles on Live Search Club....

I am writing a scientific calculator in SilverLight as an exercise to learn SilverLight and as something to do while watching TV in the hotel at night. Here is the XAML that I have so far: 1: <UserControl x:Class="CALC_SL.Page" 2: xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"...

The startup page for a Silverlight application is determined by the RootVisual that is set in the App.xaml file and I wanted a way to have one XAP file with multiple pages that I want to display on pages. My quick solution is to use the InitParameters...

Play Online Poker I have been playing poker on Full Tilt Poker again and am enjoying it more this time since I have spent the time to see what the site has to offer. The 100% Deposit Bonus for your first deposit is free money and right now they are running...

I am not sure what to make of this banner ad: First of all the sentence makes absolutely no sense and then formatting of the $1,000,000 is off. Someone spent some time to create this with the fancy graphics and background, but then didn’t notice the...

I have decided to run a weekly give away something each week to get a better idea if anyone is really visiting this site. Raymond Chen runs a great blog The Old New Thing that has great information on how Windows was developed and the stories behind the...

I really like the Automatic Properties feature that was introduced in C# 3.0. For those unfamiliar, it allows for the reduction of this common code pattern: 1: private string _MyString; 2: public string MyString 3: { 4: get 5: { 6:...

We have all seen and coded properties like these in our classes that delay the creation of the object until the first time it is needed: 1: private object _MyObject = null; 2: public object MyObjectOldSchool 3: { 4: get 5: { 6: ...

I am a Moleskin junkie and have several different versions that I use throughout the day. Ran across the MSK wizard which allows you to import pictures, text, contacts or events into it and print them out to include in your Moleskin....

NamkChk is a neat site that checks if you user name is available on dozens of social sites. It is also a good way to see where you have registered before and forgotten about it. A by-product is that I was introduced to many social sites that I had never...

I have always liked Firebug and wished that it would work for IE and other browsers. Now there is Firebug Lite that is a script that enables some of the functionality in all browsers. I particularly like the bookmarklet that enables on any page that you...

From one of my favorites places to shop for crap, ThinkGeek, comes something I never knew I needed: Squeeze Bacon....

There is just so much wrong with these ads that were served by AdBrite to my site: Why does AdBrite keep advertising hair loss solutions on my site. As far as I can tell I have never mentioned a balding issue online much less my site. Should I be insulted?...
