So, I’ve purchased a new domain for my site.. I never really liked brandonjs.com — I wanted something quirky and catchy. But, because I didn’t really have an idea for a web site name, I definitely didn’t have any ideas for a domain name. So, now that this is running _fairly_ smoothly, I figure I might [...]

So, while poking around on my del.icio.us account, I came across an interesting technology blog. The person mentioned using a Gmail Account (ask me for an invite if you want one), as 1 gig file server.

Apparentely, there's a shell extension that you can download that will allow you to physically mount your gmail account and drag/drop files into your e-mail account to backup data. It seems like a pretty cool concept, especially for someone like me, who recently lost my .mac account in favor of my new home here at brandonjs.com.

Getting back to my del.icio.us for a second..

On Friday there was a new report from Jupiter research that says something along the lines of: 10% of Internet users clear their cookies daily. 40% of Internet users clear their cookies monthly. To that, I think Seth Godin has some interesting insight into that stat. It has to be nonsense — doesn’t it?

Is this not the coolest thing ever? Not that I’d use it, but it’s still a pretty cool way of searching the amazon database. It looks cool, but the technology behind it is even cooler. ~LTJ

I actually feel pretty embarrased that I haven’t posted this sooner, but I would like to give a huge congratulations to “Ang” & The Captain who got engaged last weekend [right]. Just this past week one of my co-workers got engaged as well. His story is a little different. Instead of dating for 3 years [...]

When you think of all of the most bizarre things you can see while walking to the elevator on a Thursday morning in March, you’d never expect to see the Red Sox trophy. Let me repeat that. THE World Series Trophy. It all started when I was looking for the finance manager to ask a [...]

Every morning I think about topics to write about... and I usually come up with a few, only to not have enough time during the day to actually spout off on the topic.. So, don't think that I'm dodging the Blog because I have nothing to say. I truly do. It's just that I don't have the time to put the words to the keyboard and jot them down.

Anyway, here's my horoscope.. my last Horoscope posting caused so much stir, I figured why not post another one, right?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): So begins the Potent Dreaming phase of the year for you, Taurus. In the coming weeks, the adventures you have while you sleep will be far more interesting than any movie you could see in a theater. Some of your dreams may be the nighttime equivalent of wild goose chases and shaggy dog stories, with no discernible plots or meaning. But the revelations you receive in others could change your life forever with useful lessons and brilliant insights. To help you remember these spiritual gifts from your subconscious mind, please keep a pen and notebook near your bed.

VERY interesting.. I've had some crazy dreams this past week.. none of them I can remmeber now, but it does seem like a fun horoscope. For a while I was writing down dreams every night.. saying "I will remember my dreams, I will remember my dreams, I will remember my dreams.." as I drifted off to sleep. It works, trust me. Also, the more you think about your dreams and write them down, the more you remember. IT got to the point where I was having 3-4 dreams a night and I'd remember the details of all of em.

It got a little overwhelming though. All this stuff was going on at night, and I prefered to just let my dreams be, so I could get a good night sleep without all the action.

Maybe this is a sign I should start doing htis again (or at least for this week) to try to see what my subconcious mind is telling me..
