Keep an eye out for google-mobile.

Google has taken maps to a new level. You can now display the street level and see photos of the buildings and areas you want to visit. They haven’t taken pictures of the whole world yet, but they’re getting to it. In the future it would be fun to locate the truck in Houston and get in a picture. Here is an example of two women unknowingly caught sunbathing.

Un-Pimp Your Dump Truck?

We ran a contest at work to see which team in the office could pimp their ride the best. Unfortunately we lost :( Our team still had fun doing it though. Below is a picture of our pimped out truck.

IE vs. Mozilla

Every time I think about this I just want to beat my head against a wall. I can’t begin to fathom how much I wish Microsoft would wake up and smell the coffee. Or are they already smelling the coffee?

Indeed Microsoft has hidden business tactics that they choose not to share. Why update your browser to conform to all web standards when you can sit back and watch Mozilla and IE users disagree on which browser does things the right way? A die hard IE user will always say that Mozilla breaks a page, and vise versa. But in reality, the web browsers such as Mozilla, Opera, and Safari all conform to the W3 web standards of coding.

The only reason why Microsoft doesn’t is because they want to hold a monopoly in the browser market. Why fix things when it forces people to use IE on certain pages? So what can you do to stop this blasphemy? You can start by downloading Firefox or Opera. I recommend using Firefox. It’s had tabbed browsing since windows 3.11! Well not really but you get my point. Microsoft has their hands dipped in too many projects and they can’t keep up with the internet’s demand. Enough said.

Have a drink, or 500

Saturday, May 5th, 2007

I’m sure everyone has experienced the after effects of a night that isn’t remembered. Headache, nausea, loss of appetite, dehydration, dizziness, and the fact that you just wish it never happened. Well, from experience in the bar tending industry, the are many ways you can prepare yourself for a more cheerful morning where the sun shines and the flowers bloom. Here are some simple, yet effective steps you can take to prevent the hangover.

  1. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to ensure that you are 100% hydrated.
  2. Eat a decent meal prior to drinking. I’m not talking about a salad or an apple, I’m talking about something with a little substance like pasta, a hamburger, or sandwich and chips.
  3. Stay away from sweet drinks and draft beer. The sugar is high and causes dehydration leading to headaches.
  4. Moderate yourself. Don’t slam 14 drinks in 20 minutes, take your time and enjoy the company. You will eventually have a buzz.
  5. If your going to drink whiskey/bourbon drink it on the rocks with water. If you must have 7 or coke then have a water back at your side. This will help prevent the sugar hangover.
  6. If your starting to get too wasted. Slow down. Grab some cheese sticks and wings. You’ll thank yourself in the morning.
  7. Have to drink 100 gallons of beer? Drink bottle beer.
  8. DO NOT mix all kinds of drinks. If you start with beer, finish with beer.
  9. After the night is over, drink some water before you do to bed.
  10. Finally if you still have a hangover in the morning, make a bloody mary and take an aspirin

A lot of this may seem like common sense but I guarantee you that it gets ignored by people every day. A little effort in hangover prevention is just smart. If you really don’t want one then don’t drink.

Well what can I say. I just had to do it. I finally came up with a name for my blog (even though the title will have nothing to do with the content) courtesy of ed. Although not really sure what I am going to post about; I do know that whatever it is, it will be the most beautiful thing you have ever read. *grin*
