I’ve always thought XMLSpy was a great product. Unfortunately, today I discovered the caveat that you have to spend lots of $$$ on it to be impressed. I just bought a copy of XMLSpy 2009 Standard ($129) after evaluating 2009 Enterprise ($999), since that’s the version that the free trial links go to. Anyway, I’m …

Seems to have …
[Updated 5/30/19: More dead sites, add Guestboard and Doodle, update Shindigg] I’m getting quite tired of Evite. The ads suck, the layout sucks, the lack of features sucks, etc. It hasn’t changed in at least the last 8 20 years, except to get slower and include bigger ads.

I’ve finally discovered that I don’t have to feel bad about not knowing how to figure out the date of Easter. It turns out the rules are really a bit complicated, but quite facinating if you’re into history or astronomy: Easter falls on the first Sunday following the first ecclesiastical full moon that occurs on …
Anyone who knows me is probably aware that Taco Bell Fire Sauce is my favorite fast food condiment packet. I thought I was pretty fanatical about the stuff until I searched the web… First I discovered The Condiment Packet Museum, which in addition to almost any other condiment packet you could think of, features photos …
I have had several recent animated discoveries of such awesomeness that I must share: How many dicks did George Washington have? You be the judge. I hope he really does visit us here in the future, so he and Chuck Norris can have a showdown. Do you know the way to Candy Mountain? Charlie does …
