2009-03-23T06:37:00.001-07:00

Really surprised that I did not have more tickets waiting for me this morning.

2009-03-23T06:21:00.001-07:00

Back to work :(

2009-03-18T16:46:00.001-07:00

At church should be a good time

2009-03-18T15:45:00.001-07:00

Getting ready to go to church, making homemade pizza... Yum!

2009-03-17T20:03:00.001-07:00

Wow world's deadliest spider food at Whole Foods in Tulsa, Brazillian Wandering spider

2009-03-17T20:02:00.001-07:00

Well I am absolutelt boring tonight, hung out with the kiddos

2009-03-17T17:07:00.001-07:00

Trying m.ping.fm from my blackberry. Hopefully it works well.

2009-03-13T18:48:00.001-07:00

Option B: Add a line item to the shopping cart with small percentage, very similar to taxes on orders. There would also be marketing text

2009-03-13T18:46:00.003-07:00

Option A: Seperate page during checkout flow that talks about Hopemogers and asks for small donation (ex: kiva.org)

2009-03-13T18:46:00.001-07:00

Question? What is the best way to get a small donation to Hopemongers for a donor to a charity during the checkout process.

2009-03-13T18:45:00.001-07:00

working on Hopemongers.org checkout process. Have a poll for the Social Networking community:

2009-03-12T07:13:00.001-07:00

man I wish I could get a Grand Central account! Google Voice looks cool.

2009-03-10T21:00:00.001-07:00

my zune has been converting all the PDC 2008 videos for 2 days now... I guess at over 40GB's it could take a while.

2009-03-10T20:59:00.001-07:00

frugal wifes are nice... coupon crazy wifes... are well... CRAZY!!!

2009-03-10T20:19:00.001-07:00

Although the consumer in my would like to see them hold production levels.

2009-03-10T20:18:00.001-07:00

Definitely will be interesting to see if OPEC cuts/holds/increases production of oil tomorrow. Hoping for cutting since it would help COP.

2009-03-10T20:17:00.001-07:00

2009-03-10T07:18:00.001-07:00

Love my Zune! I wish MSFT would find a way to lower the CPU usage of their Zune desktop software.

2009-03-10T06:58:00.001-07:00

I know some great developers that are sitting on the bench waiting for the job market to loosen.

2009-03-10T06:56:00.001-07:00

Wow it was a crazy week last week. More people laid off. Hopefully no more layoffs to come. If you are looking for Developers DM me.

2009-03-05T12:10:00.001-08:00

sure if you can create a PDF you can create a AZW without too much issue.

2009-03-05T12:09:00.003-08:00

shouldn't be too hard, for the most part just need to make sure the PDF generation make kindle friendly conversion

2009-03-05T12:09:00.001-08:00

Let me have X books checked out from their library loaded on my kindle at one time!

2009-03-05T12:08:00.001-08:00

maybe safari books will partner with Amazon to create a safari books for kindle edition! That would rock!

2009-03-05T08:20:00.003-08:00

thanks to @Musicians_Friend for their great support! Wish the initial customer service rep was so nice!

2009-03-05T08:20:00.001-08:00

e! Also, shows the power of social networking and twitter!

2009-03-05T08:18:00.001-08:00

Gotta give Musician's Friend credit! After they contacted my on Twitter, they are now 2nd day airing my headphones!

2009-03-04T22:00:00.001-08:00

APPLE without Steve Jobs FAIL! Sell your APPLE stocks and buy MSFT. You will thank me. And when you do don't forget to send a check to me

2009-03-04T21:59:00.003-08:00

Seriously, Microsoft is getting ready to light up their stock price in 2011. Windows 7 WIN, Zune WIN, and a new XBOX (I am predicting) WIN

2009-03-04T21:59:00.001-08:00

the try the Zune Pass from Microsoft. You will then buy a Zune, and then you will sell your iPod to unknowing feeble minded Apple Fan boys

2009-03-04T21:58:00.003-08:00

in the digital media space than the RAIA did. RAIA is going to single handedly kill the music industry. You want a killer music experience

2009-03-04T21:58:00.001-08:00

how is the robot locked in my Kindle and enslaved to read business books to me any different? I hope the Writer's Guild makes a better play

2009-03-04T21:57:00.001-08:00

Also, what is the deal with the Writer's Guild and Text To Speech? If I am not mistaken blind people get devices that read books to them.

2009-03-04T21:56:00.001-08:00

which makes things much easier to forecast, especially in down economies where wallets are tight? You listening Amazon?

2009-03-04T21:55:00.003-08:00

Amazon owns Audible, so synergizing those revenue streams would make sense. Plus subscription model is recurring revenue,

2009-03-04T21:55:00.001-08:00

Still waiting for Amazon to announce a subscription service for Kindle books! Something like Safari/Audible.

2009-03-04T21:52:00.001-08:00

Anyone in the Tulsa, OK or surrounding area need a staff accountant, my little brother is looking to get out of Sallisaw and back to Tulsa

2009-03-04T21:51:00.001-08:00

Got a Tweet from Musician's Friend on my lost/missing/never delivered ear phones! Hopefully they come through! Really need some good news!

2009-03-04T21:50:00.001-08:00

This may even apply to the stock market Good Market / Bad Market measured in WTFs/m http://ping.fm/tJLsj

I know the current economic crisis is making finding speaker to come to Bartlesville that much harder! Any .NET Speakers up 4 a UG meeting?

2009-03-04T21:43:00.001-08:00

Wonder if Pud and http://ping.fm/k1hHF will make a come back given the current economic situation! Their site was big during the Internet bubble burst!

2009-03-04T21:41:00.001-08:00

2009-03-04T21:38:00.001-08:00

so here is what is going on in my life today! Rumor mill says tomorrow could get interesting... http://ping.fm/OYthk

2009-03-04T21:28:00.001-08:00

I absolutely love FreshBooks, it helps simplify so many things that are mundane and time consuming! http://ping.fm/fk6bI

2009-03-02T10:40:00.001-08:00

My wife brought my Zune to me. Much happier now. Needed some good music to raise my spirits.

2009-03-02T10:38:00.001-08:00

Another of my good buddies was let go today! If anyone is looking for AWESOME .NET guys let me know I got 2 of them for you!

2009-03-02T06:47:00.001-08:00

going to try the text to speech feature (on my Kindle 2) to listen to a book while I work today, left the Zune at home :(

2009-03-01T10:29:00.001-08:00

kiddos and wife still have stomach virus... only myself and the oldest kiddo are well! Hopefully I don't get this bug, it's been nasty!

2009-02-28T19:26:00.003-08:00

pretty amazing, they played with TobyMac on Friday and came to small town Dewey, OK to play Saturday!

2009-02-28T19:26:00.001-08:00

My son had an AWESOME time see The Access live out our church (Life Church) in Dewey, OK! Check them out at http://ping.fm/7eNay or http://ping.fm/XWoZG

2009-02-28T09:09:00.001-08:00

so basically I have to wait until the 8th of March before I call them back and before they will do anything about it! FAIL FAIL FAIL

2009-02-28T09:07:00.001-08:00

Of course Musician's Friend won't do anything as they say USPS could take up to 30 days! What! It shipped from Kansas City! Not Antartica!

2009-02-28T09:06:00.001-08:00

Little ticked at Musician's Friend. My Shure head phones still have not arrived after shipping 20+ days ago.

2009-02-28T08:25:00.001-08:00

my wife won't even try it. but the kids like the drinks and it helped them get over their bugs quickly. they now drink it every morning

2009-02-28T08:24:00.001-08:00

I believe the only reason I have not gotten sick this week with the rest of them is the Spirulina and Juice I drink http://ping.fm/WZHHg

2009-02-28T08:21:00.001-08:00

well the kids seem to be feeling better today, but the wife still appears to be sick. hopefully everyone is well tomorrow.

2009-02-28T08:20:00.001-08:00

today I realized how much I love Vonage! Called the UK for FREE, saved me from driving into work http://ping.fm/GQVD8

2009-02-27T11:03:00.001-08:00

wonder when Safari or Books 24X7 will offer all you can eat Kindle packages for Tech books! That would be sweet!

2009-02-27T05:21:00.001-08:00

ok, it is definitely cold today... it was 78 last night!! WTF!

2009-02-27T04:11:00.001-08:00

2009-02-26T09:27:00.001-08:00

busy creating automated web tests for a project... fun fun

2009-02-26T09:04:00.001-08:00

Just Read that the Beta Control Panel will be live starting tomorrow! AWESOME! I love the Beta CP!

2009-02-26T09:02:00.001-08:00

now if Mosso would get the ability to use Sharepoint Services I could move over the other 5% of my sites :)

2009-02-26T09:01:00.001-08:00

BTW... the Mosso discount goes down to $50 off the first Month on 3/1/2009.. so use code REF-CODEMONKEY now to save the full $100

2009-02-26T08:58:00.003-08:00

2009-02-26T06:14:00.001-08:00

I wonder when Twitter will release a commercial version for Corporate intranet use.

2009-02-26T06:07:00.001-08:00

2009-02-26T05:31:00.001-08:00

Absolutely loving my Kindle 2!!! It is AWESOME!! However, I need a case? What is the best case?

2009-02-22T20:51:00.001-08:00

According to Amazon my Kindle2 will be delivered tomorrow! Overnight shippn ROCKS!!! Now the 10 week wait wasn't so ROCK'n but may pay off

2009-02-20T07:25:00.001-08:00

2009-02-20T05:19:00.003-08:00

Man it has been one crazy week! Realized I hadn't pinged anything all week due to the craziness. Glad to see that it is Friday! TGIF

2009-02-15T14:38:00.001-08:00

There was a great surmon today at Life Church in Dewey, went to eat with friends afterward. Good time!

2009-02-15T14:36:00.001-08:00

had a good valentines day at Four Square Church in Bartlesville last night. Was a lot of fun!

2009-02-12T18:53:00.001-08:00

I think someone should do a parody of this song with Kenneth Lay, Bernie Ebbers, and all these slum bankers http://ping.fm/X773N

2009-02-11T20:26:00.001-08:00

So far I am loving my Zune, my iPod is toast! You add Zune Pass to a Zune and your golden! Check out my profile here http://ping.fm/lWSnc

2009-02-09T08:53:00.001-08:00

Cool Amazon Kindle order is being converted to a Kindle 2. Also, looks like it will ship on 2/24 instead of 3/3!!!!

2009-02-07T08:23:00.001-08:00

Thinking it is a nice day to have a picnic at the park.

2009-02-06T03:53:00.001-08:00

Back to work. Thank GOD it's FRIDAY! Getting the YUKON back today, and the weather is supposed to be AWESOME! Looking forward to it!

2009-02-05T13:15:00.001-08:00

that ended up costing $2,000 and 1 week in the shop as they replace fuel pump, water pump, hoses, belts, distribution cap, spark plugs etc...

2009-02-05T13:14:00.001-08:00

so far the Yukon needs a new fuel pump, hopefully this isn't the same as when the Jetta needed a fuel pump

2009-02-05T09:59:00.001-08:00

Well the Yukon made it to the mechanic. Gotta love AAA. Let's hope for an easy fix.

2009-02-05T04:53:00.001-08:00

Praying for a good day! The first of 2009 has been rough. I need something good to happen. But I know with God ALL things are possible.

2009-02-04T18:38:00.003-08:00

at 100K miles had to replace alternator, starter, fuel pump, water pump, etc... Last year replaced engine, hoses, and more

2009-02-04T18:38:00.001-08:00

at 80K miles had to replace radiator assembly (can you believe a radiator hose cost $400), German engineering baby

2009-02-04T18:37:00.001-08:00

at 60K miles had to replace window mechanisms, and lots of hoses.

2009-02-04T18:36:00.001-08:00

140,000+ miles and this is the first time it has quit on us. GMC made a good car there. Looking forward to hearing her purr again.

2009-02-04T15:44:00.001-08:00

Well our Jetta is wrecked, and the Yukon just died! OH BOY!!! Sure are starting the year off right!

2009-02-04T07:23:00.001-08:00

2009-02-03T17:50:00.001-08:00

Oh well enough talk, plenty of action will be coming later this week, if CableONE up holds their position.
