Readers,
I’ve been busy lately. My new position as a Developer at a large retail company has left me with little time to write. I hope to remedy this soon as I begin to have more “me” time. First things first, though, is that the site will have a redesign after WordPress 3.0 is released and the major plugins I use are them compatible with it.
I’ll still be leveraging the 960 Grid System (http://960.gs) and some of the more popular WordPress plugins along with adding jQuery into the mix somehow.
Of course, there will still be ads on the site, but I hope to make the integration more fluid so you barely notice them. Also for users who don’t find me via Google, the ads will of course be disabled. My goal is not to flood your screen with flash ads and make you not want to view my content, but I’d like to eventually have this site pay for itself and maybe even make enough to buy me a coffee everytime I sit down to write.
Which, by the way, I hope to do at least once a week.
I’ll keep you posted!

Recently the folks at Cryptic Studios have released a timeline that takes into account the new Star Trek movie. In the new movie, events in the 24th century have led to the creation of an alternate timeline. While this timeline is J.J. Abrams’ new playground, Star Trek Online will be a continuation of the Star Trek “Prime” universe, where Klingons looked like darker humans with goatees then had forehead ridges and people never questioned it; a universe where Spock died on the Genesis planet and Bones acted all funny for a movie; a universe where Locutus of Borg told Riker that resistance was futile and Sisko both started and ended the Dominion War and Janeway got lost in Borgtown. This universe, where every TV episode we watched growing up and every movie we’ve seen up until now has taken place in, is where Star Trek Online will take place.

When we think of poverty, most Americans probably think of those commercials asking you to give a dollar a day to children in Africa. Alot of Americans would gladly give $30 a month to help a child they don’t know be able to eat and get the medications they need. Its a good feeling to help those who are less fortunate be able to continue living.

It was mid-July in 2005. I was working toward my Computer Science degree and realized I needed a laptop in order to work on projects and homework while away from home. I’d heard good things about Dell laptops, so I chose to purchase a Dell Inspiron 9300. It was a behemoth, but no XPS (actually, it was one step below an XPS, and without the frilly LED lights everywhere).
