Surf Sunday :: Portable Application Suites
Computers are wonderful sometimes all you need is a USB flash drives. Why would you want to carry around a flash drive? It is more sensible to just carry around something a bit smaller than a laptop, let alone a full CPU. If you have a family and one computer in your house. You travel and depend on public library or coffee shop computers. Work in an office setting would like to keep your personal data, personal. You put portable appliations or application suites on a USB flash drive, plug it into any USB port of any given computer...

Wait before reading the 2008 Huntress comic here is a little history lesson: The original Huntress (1947), Paula Brooks, was a super villain in the Golden Age. Originally a super hero named the Tigress, Paula turned to crime, adopting the Huntress identity. As Tigress she fought in World War II, using her agility and crossbow abilities to help defend her country. On a mission to battle some Nazis,...
Alternative Lifestyle
Gas prices are getting higher, but that is in par with the rest of the world. Alternative fuels have been on the back burner way too long. I actually worked (1 year for the resume) with a ‘Hill’ lobby information mediation group back in ’96. California has always been on the cusp of alterative fuels, and the rest of the Nation has only known what is “in their back yard” and not willing to purchase outside the norms. Now, this “keep up the Jones” has come to bite our royal arses. Here is the big problem, we are a...
Movies on Demand . . .
Giving up cable (since January 2008) and exclusively getting content online, DVD or via Netflix has not been such a bad deal. The only shows we miss are shown exclusively on The Food Network and G4, boy do I miss “Ninja Warrior”, “Attack of the Show” and “Iron Chef America”. There is no hiding it, I love Netflix. But, the “Watch Instantly” option is limited only to a PC with IE browser. But now for $109.00 (including ground shipping) anyone can watch Netflix content without a PC with the new Roku Netflix Player! Here are some great things about...
Sad Day in US History
Not the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post nor the New York Times . . . No, USA Today remains the most widely read newspaper in the United States, according to the latest Mediamark Research Inc. report. USA Today has more than 3.6 million readers daily. The interesting thing about the publishing of the USA Today, the paper does not print on Saturdays and Sundays. . . . nothing beats a Sunday paper, a cup of coffee, bagel with cream cheese and fighting to see who gets the comics first . . .
Review :: IIS Killer – Abyss Web Server
After my new computer I did not see myself spending my hard good money for Microsoft Office Professional. But as a programmer I need to have all resources available to meet my client needs, no matter the code. The most important tool for a web developer is the web server. But I want to cut the chains of any OS dependent, including Linux, Apple and especially Microsoft. What I am looking for in a web server: Easy install Programming for everything under the sun ASP ASP.NET PHP Ruby on Rails Hosting multiple sites Easy set up Quick easy start...
Same Sex Marriage
During an acceptance speech at a Los Angeles film gala in December 2007 the two-time Oscar winner Jodie Foster spoke about her parter of 14 years Ms Cydney Bernard, calling her: “My beautiful Cydney, who sticks with me through the rotten and the bliss.” Yes, if you have been hiding under a rock, Jodie Foster has long been an individual living comfortable in the “Glass Closet â’I think there are four kinds of gays in Hollywood,â’ explains Howard Bragman, CEO of the PR firm Fifteen Minutes. â’Thereâ’s the openly gay; the gay and everybody knows it but nobody talks...
Surf Sunday :: Online Free Services
We are all familiar with software that take up not only hard drive space but most software are lingering in the background hogging up your processing power. If you think I am kidding, just click all at once ctrl+alt+del and see for yourself all those pesky programs processing. With the access to the internet becoming cheaper (free at your local library and coffee shop) , with cities (like Minneapolis, MN) offering wifi within the borders and most cell phones are just tiny internet devices who needs software. Online applications will become more popular, even necessary. Got to Go MizPee...

NFL Need to Make Changes
The NFL has changed for the worst. I am not talking about the poor attempt for extreme drunk fans with the XFL or the poor marketing attempt of the USFL. I am talking about this short lived World League of American Football (WLAF) and NFL Europa. These were supposed to be the equivalent of MLB minor leagues to develop on demand players for the NFL. But it failed. So, the NFL returns their watchful eye to the collegiate athlete. But there is a problem using the NCAA as their personal “minor league”. This is a plea for the NFL...
I is Educated
After a student at San Diego State University died from a cocaine overdose, San Diego, Calif., police launched an undercover investigation into drug sales at the school. They found so much evidence that federal investigators joined the case. After a full year of gathering evidence, teams arrested 96 people, including 75 students. Officers confiscated $100,000 worth of drugs, $60,000 in cash, plus firearms and other evidence. Among those arrested were one who was about to graduate with a master’s degree in Homeland Security, and another majoring in criminal justice. “When one of these individuals was arrested, he inquired as...
Bye Bye 100% Financing
Fannie Mae announced a new, national policy on down payment requirements for conventional, conforming mortgages the company will purchase or guarantee. Starting June 1, 2008, Fannie Mae will accept up to 97 percent loan-to-value ratios for conventional processed through automated underwriting system, and 95 percent loan-to-value ratios for loans underwritten outside of the automated underwriting system, in all geographic locations in the United States. The new national down payment policy will supersede the policy the company adopted in December 2007 that required higher down payments in markets where home prices are declining. Expect to see this trend for all...
Hypocrisy Election 2008
This general election more than most will test the courage of voters to avoid lesser-evil strategic voting that has propped up our two-party plutocracy. People with intelligence and conscience must resist peer pressure and the temptation to vote against John McCain by voting for Barack Obama. (Read More . . .) It is all about money. The Right and Left only go with the money and make the platform irrelevant. The Democrats and Republicans both want the same thing, a blind vote for their presidential candidate. Yet, when I try to make a stand for a more suitable candidate...

These are divided into categories: Image Editing Illustration Authoring Tools Animation 3D / CAD Flash Tools Image Editing GIMP – is the GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed piece of software for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring. It works on many operating systems, in many languages.

Comic Critique Saturday: The Absolute Sandman
“The Absolute Sandman” is an introduction to The Sandman from Neil Gaiman. Vertigo proudly re-presents the classic debut issue of “the Sandman”. Also included in an exclusive bonus material and an introduction by Neil Gaiman discussing his thought process in how and why bring back “The Sandman”. One of the tricky thing, as we have seen in other media, how to continue the story line with a gap of years, decades and even generations. Unlike Dallas’ shower scene to cheat viewers of creativity to smoke screen the past events as ‘just a dream’. Neil Gaiman took some great thought...
