FINALLY!!! Many of you whom know me well already know for quite some time I have been waiting, patiently, for the ability and opportunity to switch from AT&T Wireless to something more reliable. So at this point I give fair warning to those concidering the possibility of picking AT&T Wireless, think twice. [...]

Hmmm… Pretty Icons… Thanks to a little hand written script I can grab just about any MacOSX or Linux based icon set and convert them into icons for use on websites (since our lovely IE doesn’t view PNG’s correctly… or at least until they do!)… I’ll start using icons that are appropriate for [...]
