Paladin Family Hits the Beach

Friday, May 26th, 2006

KRAMER: Up here, I’m already gone.
That’s how I feel about our vacation. Be back in a week. You guys be good!
(I know, I know, I couldn’t find the right picture of Kramer. And they say the Internet has everything…)

Dojo Info 5/26/06

Friday, May 26th, 2006

Extra long Dojo for your surfing pleasure. Have a great week!

So I nearly got killed today…
And some people think playing video games keep them safe.

If you’ve ever been bored, you have to respect someone who actually got off his bum and did something. He built a 33 meter replica of the Royal Carribbean International [...]

Lego Master 2006

Friday, May 26th, 2006

Each year Lego holds a competition to determine their park’s next master builder. This year’s winner was Jason Poland of Houston, TX. Now that the competition is over, Mr. Poland can now resume his cartoon watching and video game playing.

‘Click to Activate’ IE Workaround

Thursday, May 25th, 2006

I’m giving this eDIY workaround a try. Let me know how it appears to you. The goal is to remove that additional click that IE is now forcing users to perform before they are able to interact with a Flash (or other) object. (see banner above)
Microsoft has their own workaround, but it’s more time [...]

Ford Promotes Gay Polygamy

Thursday, May 25th, 2006

It’s rather amazing to see. A company, who’s primary goal is to earn money for it’s shareholders, take such a radical tact. As you can see below, Ford chose to be a major advertiser in the homosexual publication called The Advocate. The June issue promotes polygamy.

Ford doing so despite receiving a large number of [...]

Interactive Communication at T-Mobile

Thursday, May 25th, 2006

It’s not stunning or even all that remarkable. But what it is, is good communication. As more and more people are taught to scan out text, pictures need to communicate. Interactive pictures are even better!

So instead of blocks of text, or even simplified charts, T-Mobile creates a little do-hicky that engages the visitor to learn [...]

Mel Gibson Slams ‘Da Vinci Code’
The real-life person that the fictional book’s main character was (partially?) based on says, “In an ideal world I’d quite like to have been played by Mel Gibson.” Meanwhile, Gibson doesn’t have anything nice to say about the film.

Forgot to post on this when I heard it [...]

Calling a Spade

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

I just read where Ann Coulter, in her new book Godless, The Church of Liberalism describes liberals’ theology in the following terms:

Saints (JFK)
Holy documents (Roe v. Wade)
Martyrs (Soviet spy Alger Hiss)
Churches (public schools, where prayer is banned)
Clergy (teachers in public schools)
Sacraments (abortion)
Cosmology (mankind is an accident)
Creation myth (Darwin’s theory of evolution)

Ouch. I know that [...]

Giving In To Temptation

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

Usually it’s my brother who’s out nabbing up the latest and greatest technological marvels. (He got the gene from my Dad.) But today, wonder of wonders, my current cellphone’s battery suddenly stopped holding its charge. Hmmm…. and this right after I saw that new cellphone commercial too…
So I HAD to get a new phone, right? [...]

History’s 100 Most Infuential People

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

I don’t know how a list like this can be made. I mean, how is he measuring influence? Who is Michael Hart anyway? Where’s the scoreboard?!? All I know is, if the Son of God comes in 3rd, somethings wrong with your: Religious Affiliation of History’s 100 Most Influential People.
And truthfully, isn’t 98th a bit [...]

Water Powered Car, Mostly

Tuesday, May 23rd, 2006

Very interesting story from a local station here in Louisville, about a Florida inventor who’s fine-tuning his Ford Escort powered mostly from water. It seems Mr. Denny Klein has done something once thought impossible—break H2O down into HHO gas. Now, the car is far from perfected but it seems the most difficult hurdle has been [...]

9/11 Light Memorial

Tuesday, May 23rd, 2006

It looks unreal, doesn’t it? At first glance I thought it was an ad for some new video game that touts enhanced graphics. But it’s actually a test run of the light memorial for the 9/11 World Trade Center. Pretty freakin’ cool.

Apple Store, Fifth Avenue
Apple’s opening a new store in NYC. Ok, that’s fine. But what’s with the plexiglass cube? It’s cool and all, but I bet it was expensive to put up.

Pistons Get Past LeBron’s Cavs

Monday, May 22nd, 2006

It was much tougher than anyone thought. The Pistons advancing, that is. The truly memorable thing about this series was just how amazing LeBron James is, this early in his career.

Cleveland has the weakest supporting cast of any NBA superstar whose team made the playoffs.
Like Jordan before him, other teams focus on James [...]
