I lob to signify to it as again as I can…

By thecodepounder | Published February 3, 2010

Does this shit really fool anybody? Seriously, ANYBODY? Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad to see that the majority of spammers continue to make only the slightest effort at varying the well-established formula–I’m sure it makes it easier for the spam filters to do their job–but, wouldn’t a spammer have a much higher chance of [...]

My wish for the upcoming Apple event

By thecodepounder | Published January 22, 2010

What, only one? Well, this will probably surprise any Machead reading this, but it has nothing to do with the “tablet-thingy”. My wish? Take the AppleTV to the next level.
Personally, as someone who’s been waiting a long time to see the AppleTV become something more than just my iTunes library on my TV, I’d like [...]

Firefox on Snow Leopard now running smoothly

By thecodepounder | Published December 5, 2009

I’m a Mac guy, but there are certain things I prefer to do on Firefox; among them is anything having to do with this blog where Intense Debate is concerned. I honestly don’t know why, but Intense Debate still doesn’t seem to play nice, or at least as nice as it should, with Safari.
Like many [...]

The Official White House Photostream now on Flickr

By thecodepounder | Published April 29, 2009

This is so cool: The Official White House Photostream on Flickr. The photos are all by official White House photographers–predominately chief White House photographer Pete Souza–and, as The White House Blog indicates, give a different perspective from the images we all see on television every day.

Just discovered a new blog: TN-Atheist.com

By thecodepounder | Published April 10, 2009

I just came across an excellent new blog: tn-atheist.com.  While it’s pretty new, the author is off to a great start. And, it’s always nice to find another resource for atheists and non-believers in middle Tennessee.  Don’t get me wrong, there are several–but it’s always nice to find another.
From what I’ve read, ‘The TN Atheist’ [...]

By thecodepounder | Published February 20, 2009

Lisa Belkin writing in the New York Times Magazine, Facebook for Parents:
In the months since my first post about how my children won’t “friend” me, I’ve come to see that today’s parents see Facebook the way earlier generations of parents probably saw the Beatles — as a threat to the known universe that could actually [...]
