I have no problem paying for good software (it doesn’t have to be free) but I do have a problem with subscription software. I want… Read More »
This week I’ve been evaluating Chromium, and considering using it as my main browser. Lately I have been using Google Chrome, and have enjoyed the speed and excellent compatibility with Google Gmail and Calendar. But I was curious about Chromium (the Open Source version of Chrome) and it’s claims to be more privacy conscience than Chrome.… Read More »
A romantic comedy about a hit man that falls in love with a “normal” woman, and decides to quit the business to be with her. Ashton Kutcher is looking pretty good with his shirt off.

Wild Target is a British comedy about a hit man that falls in love with his latest target, and ends up protecting her instead of killing her. I’m not usually a fan of British style comedy. To me it’s too off-beat and I find it more annoying that funny. But there are exceptions to that… Read More »
I can’t recommend ordering from High Point Scientific. I recently placed an order with them online for the first time. It turns out they do not accept Visa transactions from any country other than the US. After 2 days I called them and asked why my order was still pending, to be told it’s due… Read More »
Yesterday I ranted about how I disliked the new version of Hotmail, and said I would switch to Gmail. Well it was far easier than I thought.
