Caller ID spoofing
It would seem to me that crap like this should be stopped before it can get started. I mean, why the smeg am I paying $7 a month to my phone company for Caller ID when people can do shit like this? http://www.securityfocus.com/news/9822
TiVo heads down a bad path
Joe SieglerI’ve been a TiVo fan and user for awhile now – I got my first TiVo back in May of 2000. I’ve been expounding the benefits of this product to everyone that I can think of for a long time. However, today I read something that has made me wonder how much longer TiVo as […]
Congrats Red Sox
Congragulations to the Red Sox who won the World Series tonight. What’s most amazing to me is not the fact that it’s been 86 years since they last won. It’s the fact that they were one inning away from being swept out of the playoffs by the Evil Empire in the ALCS. They came back […]
Windows XP & Default Program Settings
First off, please don’t answer with “Have her not use Outlook Express”. That’s not an option. My question is this. At home I use Windows XP Home, and for quite awhile both my wife and I used Outlook Express. Tonight, I switched over to using Pegasus Mail for my home mail. I’m already using it […]
Mobil & Texaco Gas Stations
A couple of years ago I noticed that Shell Oil merged (or bought out, I forget which) Texaco. Over time, all the Texaco gas stations in this area became Shell stations. The Texaco gas card I had was replaced by a Shell card I was sent. Then Mobil & Exxon merged, and became ExxonMobil Oil. […]

Envelope Program
Does anyone know of a program for Windows XP that will handle a collection of addresses and can print envelopes and labels? I currently am using stamps.com to print envelopes, and it’s awesome for that, but I grow tired of the monthly fee for that software. I’d like to move to something else, but I’ve […]
Gorillas & Cars
Something I’ve always wondered is why car companies feel compelled to use inflatable something or other to get attention. I mean, does anyone ever actually see one of these things and go “Oh. I wasn’t thinking about buying a car, but with this stupid inflatable here, I think I’ll pull in and take a look”. […]
Wireless Internet for all?
I’m from Philadelphia, and I know the politics there fairly well. I can’t imagine my old town is at the forefront of a move to bring either free/dirt cheap wireless internet to all. Check out this plan – it’s quite amazing. Although since it is government issued, one would have to think it would get […]
