I uploaded a bunch of new pictures from this month... Hiking on the AT & Wiley Shelter (I only got 4 days in, but still very fun. I can't wait to go again. I'll post separately on this.) http://longlostcousins.com/photos/todd/category1030.aspx The Hammies (My hamsters. Yes, I know that hamsters...

Here's a video of Wiley Shelter in NY where I stayed one of the nights on my recent hike. I was out for about 4 days. This is really my favorite shelter although I've only been to a few of the hundreds that are on the trail. The video shows the camping area, the fire pit (not allowed in many...

Over the last month or so, I've gotten to work on some cool new stuff and see some new technologies - I recently updated my blog theme, went to DevConnections, and have focused on testing and CI at work. Here's some new stuff I discovered (or at least new to me): SVN 1-Click Setup - I decided...

I'm working on updating my Community Server blog theme so it won't look so much like the out of the box themes. A couple of good resources for people who are only marginally creative like me: :) www.colorsontheweb.com has a whole bunch of tools to help create and visualize different color schemes...

I blogged in the past about my iPhone. It's a decent phone, but not really worth all the hype IMHO. As the "platform" matures, some cool sites are popping up.Fumbleview lets you get up to the minute football game progress on your iPhone. It works great and the phone integration is so tight...

Here's a picture of the ring! It's been in my Mom's family for a few generations. Thanks Grandma! And this is where I proposed at Gould Manor Park. Woo hoo!

Basically, Halo is the reason I bought an XBox, Halo2 is the reason I replaced it when it fried, and Halo3 is why I own an XBox 360. This review at Simpatico made me decide that I should put in for my days off tomorrow and tell my girlfriend to make other plans for the end of September.

I posted a while back about a way to help with cancer research using your computer's “spare time.” Well, that project is no more . After 7 years, the company that sponsored the project decided to shut it down. Many thanks to grid.org and everyone involved for the great work they did. So I...

...and its pretty sweet and a very good phone, but I hardly think its the best “smartphone” ever. As a smartphone, it still leaves quite a bit to be desired. I've been using Windows Smartphones for a few years and I think they are superior phone/PDA combos. They just have more power and the...

Jim tagged me. So after many months of a quiet blog, I'm back to share my take on the whole thing that's been running around the world . Here's my list, and I think its even in order: Blog 3 times a week. Every day is just not realistic for me. Every other day or so I can do. I think. Finish and expand...

I don't have an XBox 360, but will probably get around to one soon ( even if its only for the media hub capability ). If you're looking around for one, maybe one of these site will help: XBox 360 Tracker - http://www.bensbargains.net/xbox360/xbox360.php - checks online retailers every few minutes Xbox...

I had my first case of comment spam this weekend. I never worried about it because I didn't think I was getting enough traffic to be a target. Luckily .Text notified me by email of the comments and made it relatively easy to delete them. I left one because it was such a “Solemn article. It make...

OK, I've been away for a while... I was interviewing for a new job in Oct-Nov, started said job late Nov, survived the holidays, and got the OK to blog this week! I'm not really sure I needed the OK, but I thought it would be best to check with my new employer first. I'm loving the new job, but if there...

I finally got around to uploading the Tivo code I described a couple of weeks ago . I've been working on a Dot Net Nuke module for this and have been wrapped up working with Michael Schwartz's Ajax.Net component. OK, that's not entirely true... I've been engrossed in watching the first season of Lost...
