A Review Of the Baja Fresh Nacho Burrito
Baja Fresh was blowing up around the time I graduated from college. I had the one near my mom’s house in my phone for a while and I set up a number of dinners for pick up on the way home from my job. Then the quality of their food went south so I stopped… Continue reading A Review Of the Baja Fresh Nacho Burrito
Lobsters, Terrorism, Fishing and Putin
Some of you may have read my last post and given a quick “who cares” about the RSS feed. Following releases by RSS from the White House means that you can sometimes get a jump on news. Sometimes you just get a reminder of what it is like to be hearing from our President each… Continue reading Lobsters, Terrorism, Fishing and Putin
The White House RSS Feeds Are Poorly Implemented
I subscribe to a number of RSS feeds coming out of our great nation’s White House. However, I can’t help but continue to notice that these feeds are really poorly implemented. Often they come with only a headline and no body whatsoever. Presidential speaches usually include a link to an MP3 of the speach in… Continue reading The White House RSS Feeds Are Poorly Implemented

Added Recently Listened Tracks Via Last.fm Plugin For WordPress
I listen to a lot of music both at work and home using Winamp. Back in the hay’ I used Audioscrobbler to keep track of my listening habits. Audioscrobbler became Last.fm, which is a wee bit bloated for me, but still does a good job of keeping track of my listening habits no matter which… Continue reading Added Recently Listened Tracks Via Last.fm Plugin For WordPress
Manually Installing Windows Media Player Plugin for Firefox in Windows Vista
Surprise, a complete install of Windows Media Player in Windows Vista does not provide the necessary .dll files needed to play WMA or ASX files in Firefox. This means that if you do a fresh install of Windows Vista and Firefox 2.x and try to listen to an archived program on kexp.org you’re going to… Continue reading Manually Installing Windows Media Player Plugin for Firefox in Windows Vista
