Whoa. I’m not sure why but I am pretty interested in getting a pair of these. Curious to me why as I’ve never been a "barefoot" person.
Couldn’t seem to get the picture added without uploading and who has time for that? Here’s a link .

Your 60 minute trial is over.

No more Plants vs Zombies. She seems to have played way more than 60 minutes worth on her machine. Wonder  why the mac was limited to 60 minutes trial. Oh well. Not paying $20 for plants vs zombies - I didn’t even come close to losing once. Where’s the challenge?

Plants Vs Zombies

Posted by Steven Mietelski in Uncategorized on 30. Jan, 2010 | No Comments

Very addictive. Too bad I had to start from the beginning three times as I kept having to move from one computer to another! House hunting tomorrow, I shouldn’t be up this late. Who is even reading this?

Why I want (and don’t want) the iPad

Posted by GeniusSteve in Uncategorized on 30. Jan, 2010 | No Comments

I’ve got mixed feelings on the iPad. But I want and don’t want one.
Reasons to want:
Using the iPad as a multimedia remote. I think it’s going to be very capable with an app that runs through wifi and connects your iPad to your pc or mac which is controlling your media center pc.
Using the iPad […]

The hardest book I’ve read all year

Posted by GeniusSteve in Uncategorized on 29. Jan, 2010 | 1 Comment

That’s not saying much, seeing as it’s only January… but I found The Superorganism to be a difficult read. It is very enjoyable but it is tough to sit down and bite large chunks out of it. It’s more of a nibbler. I’ve only gotten through half and it’s due back to the library in […]

Posted by Steven Mietelski in Resources, Web Design on 05. Aug, 2009 | No Comments

I’ve read lots of SEO (search engine optimization) and SEM (search engine marketing) articles. Most of them are only helpful to those of you who are brand new to SEO/SEM. I have not yet come across one that sums it up simply:

The number of links using your keyword to your desired URL will heavily influence […]

Red Dwarf - sci-fi britcom

Posted by GeniusSteve in Asides, Featured on 02. Aug, 2009 | No Comments

I never fancied myself a fan of British humor, but I was recently suggested to watch Red Dwarf (wikipedia link ) by Netflix - and nearly all of the episodes are online. It was recommended because I rated the BBC version of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy 5 stars. I have been absolutely hooked on […]

Bokks? Books? The reading list

Posted by Steven Mietelski in Uncategorized on 25. Jul, 2009 | No Comments

I’ve started keeping a reading list - all the books I’ve read. Over the next couple of days I’ll update it to also show the books I am reading or planning on reading in the near future. Of course… it’ll never be complete because I started it when I was 25 and I’ve already read […]

Interesting behavior with wordpress

Posted by Steven Mietelski in Uncategorized on 21. Jul, 2009 | No Comments

We’ve noticed some interesting behaviors when manually uploading data for images and trying to post to them. After uploading the data we find that the image post 404’s, but if you log into wordpress it will work fine. I am creating this post as a demo…

One, big, worldwide ant colony

Posted by Steven Mietelski in Uncategorized on 03. Jul, 2009 | 1 Comment

Yep. There’s on big wordlwide ant colony that’s covering the entire planet. Well, sort of.
Scientists have found that when mixing ants from seperate Argentine Ant mega-colonies around the world, they are tolerant of eachother.
Unfortunately (or fortunately) they have not formed one, large, super, world-wide, continuous colony. Instead what we have is a set of colonies […]
