changing the darned colors, again…

I’m changing the colors again. Yes, again. I didn’t like the top logo. And I didn’t like the colors.
So, I found a nice color scheme over at Return of Design and I’m using one of their schemes to recolor redkanga.
I’m liking the colors a lot better and I’ve got some more work to do to […]

I found an article about Why John C. Dvorak is Wrong About Apple. After reading the article, I had to agree, Dvorak is crazy. Why would Apple give up the one thing that makes Macs so great, the OS?
Admittedly, I only have Wintel PC’s right now. Four even: my work laptop (a ThinkPad T42), Katie’s […]

I hate my neighbors!

The past 2 weeks my trash can has been stolen by the idiots that live on the other side of the alley from me. The cops won’t do anything about it, even though I pay the city to have an extra trash can. I don’t understand what makes people think that they can just appropriate […]

Recent happenings

A quick run down.

Katie went to Las Vegas for a friends bachelorette party. She will be back tomorrow. I am jealous. I stayed home and went to work.
My buddy Jeremy bought Ron’s boat. I’m glad he bought the boat. I think it was a good deal for everyone.
Ben and Vanessa moved to Costa Mesa. They […]

I was pretty bored with the lack of a logo. So, I opened up photoshop and made one. Ok, I actually made a few and what is up now is the one I liked the best. I call the style retro-geek. I’m pretty happy with it and it does have a redkanga on it, so […]

Found them!

I finally found the images that are disturbing Muslims around the world. A blog on blogspot has the political cartoons unedited.
I can’t believe that these are the cartoons that are causing so much rioting and disruption world wide. These cartoons are pretty harmless. They play to the stereotypes that the world has of Islamic fundamentalists. […]

Bush wants to tax WiFi?!?!

Thanks to a headline on my personalized Google start page I hit on this Tech Dirt article about some notes in Bush’s latest budget plan that indicate that he would like to start taxing un-auctioned radio spectrum. The original article at RCR Wireless News indicates that he would like to start collecting “user fees” on […]

K2 Styles, again

OK, I’ve begun working on my own K2 style… This is a definitely a work in progress. Feedback appreciated. For example, what looks bad, type sizes, etc…
Thanks!

K2 Styles

Well, I’ve moved back to the default K2 style since it looks reasonably the same in both Firefox and Internet Explorer. This is mainly because more people look at my site in Internet Explorer than any other browser. Of course, I get mostly bots hitting my site…

At SFO…

Airports suck. I’m sure that this is universally agreed upon, but I’ve got to say it anyway. The first reason airports suck is that the rules of travel are not universally agreed upon. Sure, everyone has to get where they are going but there is no reason to be an asshole about it. Another problem […]
