Webpad for Sale

I normally don't like to post advertisement on my blog, but I need to get this done. Anyways, I'm selling my brother's internet webpad. He owes me big for this. In any event, I crafted a progear webpad page for it. I would appreciate if any readers take a look and see if they or someone they might know would be interested. If anybody knows of some good forums I could post, that would help too. I already did the Yahoo Group. The price [...]

A Man With Money

They were selling pizza for lunch in the cafeteria today. When they announced it on the intercom system, my Indian co-worker came running to my cubicle section to ask my team member for some money. Then seeing me, he said "Hey! Mauriat has got to have some money on him, he's not married!". We all laughed. He was right, on both cases. So then the day seemed to go on pretty long, I've been trying to work one issue out and was getting some [...]

My Disappointment in Mozilla

This post is a bit more technical, excuse the over-simplifications. Many geeks have been raving about Mozilla releasing Firefox last year. As wonderful as it all is, I'm still not impressed. Let me explain. It will be 7 years on January 22 that Netscaped announced plans for an open source browser. It wasn't until 4 years later in June 2002, that Mozilla 1.0 was finally released. Prior in 2001 Netscape had about 15% of the browser market share compared to Microsoft's 75%. Lately IE's [...]


I hope that some people don't label this as somewhat racist, but I feel that since MLK was assinated in 1968, his message has become somewhat perverted. It may not be intentional but I can't help feeling that irreverance and politics have take over. I remember when I was in college many students complained that they would rather attend MLK rallies and events instead of going to class today. So to appease what I would think is a minority, the University gave the time [...]

Revenge of the Spammed!

About 2 days ago, I started to receive spam for mortgage refinancing. The thing that made it stick out was that it was sent to me with my dad's name and the actual correct address. I know it is not too complicated to do, but I was shocked at how it connected the name to the email address. After 3 or 4 hours of watching it come in nonstop, I researched the source daleqhay.biz and contacted the registrar (neulevel.biz) for that address. I said [...]

Fear Factor Folly

This is pretty funny. A Fear Factor viewer is suing NBC for watching contestants eat rats. Aitken's handwritten lawsuit contends the rat-eating made his blood pressure rise, resulting in being dizzy and lightheaded -- and vomiting. Because he was disoriented he ran into a doorway, "causing suffering, injury and great pain." Asked why he didn't shut off his television before the rat-eating segment, Aitken said he couldn't do it quick enough. Hmmm ... 2.5 million? Maybe I can sue for some money when the [...]

A Good Year for mjm wired

As almost none of you can recall, I started this site in early 2003, and I remember counting visitors 1 by 1. There were so few I knew them all by IP (yes, I hate to admit that). Anyways, I eventually started with my Guides and Resources (which was one of my intents from the beginning). I got a little bit of traffic from that, maybe 50 hits or so a day, during mid to late 2003. I remember being so excited when I [...]
