New Apps

February 25th, 2009

Like I said in an earlier post, I apologize for my absense, however it’s hard to think of witty and interesting things to go on about — when I’m using up all my creativity from posting on twitter. Regardless, though, I grabbed the latest version of Safari today from Apple — and it’s a pretty sweet web browser.

For those that have been around these parts for a while, you have probably seen my various advertisements for Firefox. Even on my mac, I’ve been a huge supporter of the ‘Fox.. but I think the latest enhancements to Safari are enough to warrant my conversion. The fact that it’s blazing fast and has some great new UI features. As a mac user, Google has yet to release a version of Chrome that I can use — though that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t. Using a browser based on Webkit (Chrome or Safari) is the fastest experience you’ll have on the web.

On a related note, I logged into The Diatribe admin interface today for the first time in a month or so — and I was pleasantly surprised. At some point, I upgraded to WordPress 2.7 — which has an entire new Admin UI. It’s much more user friendly and easier to navigate. Serves me right for not posting sooner.

I can’t make any promises for more frequent posting — though I’ll do my best

Obama Wins

November 5th, 2008

Barack Obama is now set to become the forty-fourth President of the United States of America. I can finally breath easy, now that the political race is over.

Once again, I am proud to be an American and I know that President Obama will lead this country in the direction that it needs to go — after 8 years of lies, corruption, deceit and failed policy (not to mention the lack of respect from our allies).

The Woman from Alaska

September 4th, 2008

An interesting article about the plain facts from the truth-stretched speech that Mrs. Palin made last night at the RNC.

Published by the AP — one of the most un-biased news sources. This speech, while it delivered to what the Republicans wanted to hear, was not true.

The Goatee Saver

August 8th, 2008

It feels great when you find someone the perfect gift. This item is no exception. When I saw this on yesterday, I knew immediately that I needed to write about it.

There’s a reader of the Diatribe (you know who you are) that would absolutely love this item — and yes, even more than water pillows.

It’s the personal grooming device known as the Goatee Saver (pictured below).

What is it, you ask? Why, it’s a device that’s designed to create a template around your goatee so that you do not accidentally trim part of it while shaving. It’s customizable and allows the goatee-wearer to get a clean, close shave while, at the same time protecting that precious goatee.

It’s adjustable to fit any size goatee — just bite down and shave! For a complete demonstration, check out the video on the product’s web site. It’s highly entertaining.

And the photos to prove it!

It’s amazing to think that two weeks have passed since the wedding — but it’s true. And to celebrate this two week anniversary, I received a call from our photographer informing us that our photos are ready to be viewed.

Interested in checking them out? Visit the Morin Studio Web Site and choose our wedding. The password is the date of the wedding in mm/dd/yy format. Need more help? Leave a comment and I’ll be sure to help ya out!

Fortunately, I’ve included the best photo of all right here for the world to enjoy!

A sigh of relief for the groom & his groomsmen.

And then again…

Despite the download issues, the Firefox Download Record has been broken with 8 Million downloads in one day.

Go figure! Go Firefox!
