Biological Stats

These are some interesting stats I wanted to jot down, so I sent them from my Clie to my blog where they will live forever.

98% of the cells (the source said atoms) in your body are replaced every year.
Cells of brain replaced every year.
Skeleton replaced every 3 months.
Liver every 6 weeks.
Skin every month.
You have 60,000 [...]

Blogging in the Dark

So what do you do when the power goes out? Wouldn’t that be a great time to
update your Blog? That is what is nice about having a portable device.
Instead of a laptop I got a Sony Clie ux50. It is like a really small
laptop.
Unfortunately I can’t post until the power come back up [...]

Gmail Storage Space

I’ve been using Gmail for my email for quite some time now. Not only does it provide plenty of storage space, but I really like the interface. Gmail’s debut was on April 1st last year (See post by Paul Buchheit, Gmail’1st Engineer). Some people thought it was an April Fools joke - 1 gigabyte of [...]

Flu Shot

Seems like ever since the flu shot was introduced there has been a pattern. This pattern may not hold true every year, but it certainly seems to be regularly re-occuring. In about late September, early October I start to see signs going up at the big stores saying they will have a flu shot clinic [...]

Mini MPEG4 VCR

Just ordered a Pacific Image MPEG4 PV-801 mini VCR off of Woot. I have some VHS tapes I want to get into my PC, plus I have video clips I want to get to my TV. I have a DVD burner, but that seems hit and miss in my DVD player as of late. Short [...]

It is about time these networks started linking. Imagine if we still had disconnected email networks (it wasn’t that long ago). I wonder if AOL is going to make a consolidating move, maybe with their own ICQ network. For anyone using Jabber or GAIM, then you already have the ability to connect to multiple networks, [...]

Pi: The Music Video

190 Digits of Pi, set to music in a video. Wizards, robots, kids in striped shirts, people being disintegrated, break dancing and a little bit of hip hop for good measure.

“That’s what I call get’n some π. . .”
BTW, I listened to it again, and although it is made took look like a show off [...]

“I Wouldn’t Want It”

I was getting some water this afternoon and started talking with a co-worker. He pointed to this poster about how “you could win a Mercedes-Benz C230 Sport Sedan for one year” (same picture as on the site). He was saying how he wouldn’t want it since he would have to pay for the [...]

Secret Lie

I am sure it is obvious to anyone who knows my wife Dawn and I that I am really fond of her and think the world of her. Occasionally she still impresses me. She has started her own Blog, which she setup on her own I might add. Her latest post “The Secret Lie” is [...]

Feed Moved to Feed Burner

I discovered the Blogger is not formatting my newsfeed correctly. I’ve been looking at FeedBurner for a while now. They provide a free service that enhances news feeds. I ran my news feed through it and discovered it fixed all my complaints.

If you are using the old ATOM feed you will want to switch your [...]
