So what happens when Internet services are combined with a search engine and a command prompt? Mash up goodness. Ubiquity is a new FireFox mashup engine of sorts that allows users to on the fly generate mashups of Internet services that operate with XML RPC calls. Basically it allows data to be pulled together from [...]

Office 2007 – Cheap and good!
People like to hate on Microsoft. People REALLY like to hate on Vista. I feel that is mostly because (unfortunately for Obama) people are resistant to change. Regardless of those feelings, anybody who has bothered to give Vista’s sister product, Office 2007, a proper try have nothing but praise for the latest offering of the [...]
China fakes Olympics – again and again and…
I have really enjoyed watching the Olympics this summer. The opening ceremony was spectacular, world records are being broken almost every day, and Michael Phelps has just been a phenom in the pool – which is great.

There is one looming issue however – Apple has yet to release a successor to the MacBook Pro, or even an update to the recently launched Intel Centrino 2 architecture.
Hillmount – The search for housing //part 1
Over the past weekend Sarah (my fiancee) and I continued our search for a place to live in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Sarah told me that one of her accounting intern friends from Crowe Chizek rented an apartment in an old Victorian house off Cherry St near downtown GR, and that it was quite amazing inside.
Back and better than ever…
So the last time I posted on my blog was while I was studying in Australia. Back then I did not know the ways of the web and also had many better things to do with my time (Australia – of course!) but now I believe I know better what to do to make this [...]
