I really like the new Yahoo Mail interface. Is it enough to get me to switch back from Gmail? Probably not.

Bike Upgrades

2005-12-06T10:46:00.000-05:00

I think that during the cycling offseason, I would like to do some hardware upgrades for my mountain bike. I have a 2003 Haro ICS 4 with Rockshox Judy TT front fork. I really need to raise my stem/handlebar. I've realized that I'm putting too much weight on my arms and back. front fork: Marzocchi MX Comp ETA - $349handlebars: Bontrager Crow Bar - $3012/29 update:bought Easton EA50 Monkey Bar

Fire Michael Brown!

2005-09-08T10:21:00.000-04:00

The federal government's collosal failure to react to the crisis left by Hurricane Katrina was unacceptable. A lot of the blame for FEMA's unbelievably slow response falls on Michael Brown, and I believe that it is the duty of President Bush to fire him... at a minimum. He should be sued by survivors in Louisiana who lost loved ones, home, and the lives they knew because FEMA did not react.I am

Hurricane Katrina

2005-08-28T22:17:00.000-04:00

Hurricane Katrina is expected to hit land early tomorrow morning. Our prayers are with the people living along the path of this storm. It's a category 5 storm and is expected to do a lot of damage.

Google Talk

2005-08-26T09:29:00.000-04:00

There has been quite a bit of excitement about the release of Google Talk, Google's new IM client. I installed the app as soon as I heard about it, and I'm sold. Google Talk is a very simple, small application that takes away all of the bloat that you find in AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, and MSN Messenger. Google is using the open Jabber/XMPP protocol which means you can connect to

We Have Arrived

2005-06-20T20:56:00.000-04:00

What an incredible couple of days. Ashley and I woke up yesterday morning in Marietta, GA and this morning living in New York City. And now I have finished my first day of work at WebMD Health. And after work, Ashley took the subway (the 2) up to meet me and we had dinner at a restaurant wedged between Ninth Avenue and Hudson. We walked from there 10 blocks south to Houston and over to

Honestly, I have not been ignoring this blog intentionally. I have been pretty busy lately. To start with, Ashley and I are trying to coordinate a move to New York City. So, I have spent all of my waking time job hunting, dealing with realestate agents, and networking. This has left me with very little time to spend on outside interests. But now, everything is finally in place. We are

Ashley and I just returned from an incredible week playing in the snow in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. According to the locals, it was atypically warm for the first week in March. It usually stayed between 40 and 45 F during the day and dropped down to just below freezing at night. And no snow! Zip... Ashley pointed out that we never seem to hit these northern cities while it's snowing. We're 0

Nothing Wild is a place to learn the ins and outs of No Limit Texas Hold'em. It is the collective wisdom of Silver Dollar Sam, a veteran poker player. It's a great place for any poker player from a beginner up.Since I've become slightly obsessed with the game, it's a regular stop for me now.

bulldoggers.net

2005-02-16T08:49:00.000-05:00

Well, I finally bit the bullet and purchased a domain name and a hosting service. Bulldoggers.net will be the reincarnation of my UGA football blog that I hope will be ready well before the 2005 season kicks off.I am surprised at how easy it is to register a domain name. I think I paid $8.95 for bulldoggers.net with godaddy.com and $3.95 a month to host it. That's really not overly expensive

Google Maps

I always have my eye out for the latest tech ideas and toys, and most of my posts tend to revolve around what I find cool. I know it's definitely not cool to non-techies who visit this blog, like Ashley, and for that I'm sorry. But this is another one...I'm really impressed with Google's latest offering, Google Maps. It's similar to the other map sites that you typically use like MapQuest and

Del.icio.us - the evolution of data on the Internet

I love the idea of a categorization system based on the way people really think. Del.icio.us uses the very novel concept of allowing users to categorize their bookmarks. Any single bookmark can have multiple tags associated with it. Any other user of del.icio.us can then find that bookmark if they look for your tag. So http://del.icio.us/tag/web will return all bookmarks that people have

This is in addition to the upcoming release of Tiger, the next major release of OS X. The Mac Mini is going to convert a lot of Windows users. It's a CD-sized desktop computer that is powerful, small, and beautiful. Just look at it.

I haven't written about Ashley in a while, and I thought why not... she's always got blog worthy stuff going on. In fact, she's got loads more blog worthiness that I do in many ways. It's always better to write about interesting life stories than what the latest Google trend or new feature on Netflix. So, Ashley's latest project has been to load every one of Taylor's show tunes CDs. I have no

I'm not much of a basketball fan, but I can now say that I have seen Lebron James play. In fact, he scored 40 points against the Hawks. He's amazing to watch, and I believe that he will have an impact on the NBA similar to Michael Jordan.

When you add a friend to your list, you get to see their recent rental history and what they really liked. You can make suggestions to friends and add your own comments about movies that the rest of the world can't see. It's actually an interesting feature, and I look forward to seeing what else

I also hope that Bush will use this second term to push through some moderate and progressive legislation to help strengthen our security, the environment, our education system, and

I've gone to the game for the last six years, and every year I left feeling like I was punched in the gut. But not in year seven! It felt so good to leave without thinking "well, there's always next year." I heard one Florida fan say "

We started dating near the end of my 2nd senior year at UGA (her sophomore year - cradle robber) and got married in March of 2004.

Jon Stewart's Brutal Exchange with CNN Host All I could think as I watched this was "wow, that's bold." Jon Stewart went on Crossfire and held their feet to the fire for not being the fair, hard-hitting program that they promote themselves as. It is hilarious to watch Tucker Carlson and that other guy squirm through the interview as Stewart gets ramped up. There is a transcript of the show at

Last Monday morning, 9/27, I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed. I had three simple extractions and one impacted tooth removal. I had general anesthesia, so I don't remember a thing. So no big deal because everyone has their wisdom teeth out, right? Sure, except for a 28 year old, it can become a big deal. Most people have their wisdom teeth out young, between 18 and 25.

What we all want is to be part of something revolutionary from its inception. Google is THE hot company right now.

I-85 exit lane closure raises ire of drivers

Congratulations to the Georgia Department of Transportation. For your diligent and thoughtful efforts to increase Atlanta's gridlock and to generate scorn and mockery, you are the 2004 Dumbest Georgia Government Agency. This was the closest vote in history. The DOT just squeaked by the Georgia Department of Education whose decision to change the term evolution to "biological changes over time"

eBay item 3680254822 (Ends Jun-02-04 06:55:37 PDT) - TREK 1000 with Cat Eye Astrale 8 and Clipless pedals

2004-06-02T09:27:00.000-04:00

As I'm writing this, there are 38 minutes left on this auction and I'm the high bidder. I've been looking for a good road bike for a few weeks, and this is a great deal on a Trek 1000. It's a good bike with a decent component set. But it beats doing 30 mile rides on my mountain bike which is what my dad and I have been doing.

UGA may have lost its name. This is the latest offensive maneuver is a pretty strange war between the University of Georgia and it's former fund-raising organization, the UGA Foundation. Here's a brief lesson in the history of these two rivals 1. last year Michael Adams, UGA's president, refused to extend the contract of Vince Dooley, the long time athletic director 2. the UGA Foundation,

This is the subflooring beneath my toilet. I found this damage when I went into the crawl space to change the airfilter. Something told me that I should check out our plumbing to make sure everything was alright. I noticed that some of the pipes were wet and then looked up and saw the horror. I had Ashley test the faucet, toilet, and shower. When she flushed the toilet, it poured down the

Snellville's DeGarmo reaches 'American Idol' final round

So I'm a closet American Idol fan. So what... I'm really looking forward to next week's final. I was pulling for Latoya until she got cheated by the state of Hawaii. Now, I think I would like to see Diana pull off an upset.

My Old Trick Knee...

2004-05-14T17:12:00.000-04:00

I'm 27, I'm not old... but I can't convince my body to feel the same way. I played in a frisbee tournament last weekend and noticed some pain in the outside of my left knee. It didn't really seem to bother me, so no big deal. Then I go to frisbee on Thursday and played for two hours. Everything was fine at first, but then I gradually noticed a tightening in my knee. By the end, I was

I found this article on slashdot. It seems that some researchers at Berkeley have developed a virus that attacks the HIV virus. It's amazing where biotechnology is going.

What does a guy have to do to get a GMail account?

2004-05-13T13:05:00.000-04:00

My efforts to secure a GMail account are proving fruitless. I really want to beta test GMail. And every article that I have read has just whetted my appetite further. I'll tell you what has not worked to get an account. Using my Blogger account for the first time - didn't work.Creating a beta group on the new Google Groups - nopeOh well... I'm not so desperate that I'm willing to buy an

It's only taken me two years, but I finally decided to bite the bullet and get a blogger.com account. I don't plan on updating it very often because I really don't have that much to say. Maybe I'm just not as aware of the world around me as I should be...
