Glendale Exterminating

I just received an email from someone that told me they had read Kennedy’s blog about Glendale Exterminating in Glandale AZ.
What a junk company. I couldnt get them to come out at the right time. We clean and move furniture and they wouldnt show up. They sprayed in an irratic fashion and it just [...]

2nd day of training….

Today is the 2nd day of training. We revisited some ClickOnce information. I am surprised this is the first time people have seen this. Is this really the first training you have been to on .NET. All of the sessions are sure to include ClickOnce because it is neat and novel.
Today I am hoping to [...]

Jog a Dog!?

This has got to be one of the stupidist things I have ever seen in my life..
http://www.jogadog.com/
I mean this is just dumb..
My father-in-law uses a similar device to walk his dog. It is called a teadmill. You can find there ANYWHERE for like $300 or so. Why spend 1K on the dog jogger!?

Just stop smoking already

Newsweek has placed Jennings on the cover this week.
Newsweek cover
Just stop. Quit. whatever.
I hate smoking. My daughter knows to hold her breath when she is around it – walking in a store or something. It is just bad. It is worse that non smokers are still getting lung cancer. 13% of cases are non [...]

Just Interesting Shuttle on top 747

This was just too interesting:
http://trc.dfrc.nasa.gov/Newsroom/FactSheets/FS-014-DFRC.html
I had no idea the shuttle was that large and I would have thought they would put it IN something not ON TOP of it.
If you havent clicked the link, basically they strap the shuttle (white thing with black bottom) to the TOP of a 747 (large passenger jet) and they [...]

Windows Vista is cool enough

I was able to get windows Vista installed with the help of Shawn Walcheske, who recently resigned from BIG to go work at Intel.
It is a VHD and I have it running at home. I like it so far and I am most excited about some simple changes made in the My Pictures area.

Work was work with a fair amount of email and work. I got an installation of Windows Vista from Shawn Walcheske and compacted and converted the VHD and ran it on Virtual Server. It is pretty much Windows [...]
