Words escape me when I think about the tragic shootings at Virginia Tech today. A Columbia County resident was among those killed. It’s hard to even imagine how senseless acts like this occur…
Currently I’m using Adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium. On a limited basis, I’ve been testing out the Photoshop CS3 Beta and figured I should give CS3 a test drive before upgrading the rest of the guys in my department.

Imagine a future where everyone’s plugged in… People have microchips implanted in their heads that connects them to the Feed.

In an effort to conserve GPUs on my new web host, I’ve been taking the advice of OpenSwitch’s Ben Gray and trying to optimize this site as much as possible. I’ve temporarily killed the Flickr photos I had displayed on the sidebar, and made a few other tweaks to cut down on the number of queries on … Read the rest of this item
Ugh. My wireless router kicked the bucket this morning after serving me well over three years. Time to buy a new one.
