Some people just shouldn’t have children – EVER!

This morning I was going through my Facebook feed and came across a video shared by one of the girls on the volleyball squad I help coach. The video depicted a woman beating the hell out a screaming child, probably 6-8 months old, with a pillow, slapping it across the head and bouncing stuff off it’s head. The child started to calm down and began crawling to it’s mother for comfort, she shoved it over then started hitting it, making it scream all over again. Continue reading

What does it take to get some action?

For months now, I’ve chronicled the state of my internet service on my facebook account. Well, after months and months of constant call to the support center and hearing “WOW! You’ve had 100 drops in the last week!” and having several technicians come out to the house, only to have them tell us “You’re getting full service. So what’s the problem?” and “We’re working to the spans right now, but you’re getting a perfect signal from DSLAM.” why are we no closer to getting a stable, reliable internet connection. That is what we’re paying them for right?

Well, in a new twist to this story, a neighbor of ours, also a Windstream customer, call the billing center to see if she could get some money on her bill. The woman on the other end of the line actually had the audacity to tell her “Well, you’re getting your internet for free anyway, so…”

How I kicked Cross Origin Resource Sharing’s Ass!

Just this past week I was working on a project that required me to write an uploader script. Nothing new or revolutionary here. There was, however, one major fly in the ointment – the upload handling script was being hosted on a different domain to script that was submitting the upload request! This was causing the upload to fail, with NO obvious error messages and no feedback what so ever. All I got back, was a failed message and no reason why. Continue reading

Kony 2012 and the Invisible Children

For the last few days I’ve seen mention of Kony 2012 on Facebook and Youtube. Not knowing what it was, I finally got around to watching the video and what I saw now has me enraged. Continue reading

Extreme Bias in the Media

For some time now, my wife has been following the GOP primary with some interest. You see, she’s an avid Ron Paul supporter. I tend to be a little more apolitical most of the time, but over these last few months I’ve been somewhat forced to take notice of what is going on. Continue reading

Sometimes you need to stretch out

There are moments in life that REALLY stretch you. Sometimes those moments are personal, such as a rough patch in your significant partnership, or an illness in the family, or even yourself. Sometimes those moments are sports related, such as an injury in the middle of a big game, or a slump in performance. Continue reading

Bowling balls and static weights – Part II

Having defined how the static weights are determined in Part I, it’s now time to move forward and determine what they reportedly do and where the points of contention come in. Continue reading

Bowlers: Are we the problem or the solution?

Since my arrival in the US, I think it’s fair to say I’ve become somewhat obsessed with Bowling. As in the ten pin variety. Most days, my thoughts are absolutely consumed with bowling. It’s really just a matter of time before I get involved in the industry in some capacity. More than likely, it will be as a Pro shop operator, but that’s a whole other blog entry, I think.
