Sarah Palin is Pissed About This Photo

Posted by: drivelocity In: On The Web

Sarah Palin is upset about a blogger photoshopping Eddie Burke’s, a conservative talk show host, head onto her son Trig’s body.
I would really have no reason to post this photoshopped picture, except for the fact that it has really pissed Sarah Palin off… It’s now getting much more publicity. Well done Caribou Barbi!

Domain Patience

Posted by: drivelocity In: On The Web

A while back I was contacted by someone who owned a web site that was direct competition of one of my own. He was offering to sell the site to me at some absurd price because it included the domain name, site, database, decals, etc. Since I already had a similar site, so all I [...]

Posted by: drivelocity In: Home Life

Fathers Day is coming up, my second, so I’ve put together a list of things that remind you that you’re a dad… And, yes, these are from personal experience, not another recycled “you know you’re a dad when…” list.

You find that a pacifier in your pocket when you get to work
You get the theme song [...]

Using Lists to Accomplish More

Posted by: drivelocity In: Home Life

I recently skimmed through a post about multitasking on BlueVerse.com. It was a good read and got me thinking that I should share something new… I’ve been trying to avoid the pitfalls that the author, Ryan, and I both seem to experience.

I’ve been using the Tweet This plugin for a little while now. I’m not sure of the results, but I liked the idea of it. Unfortunately, I’ve had to deactivate it today as it was generating errors while attempting to add new posts. Here is the error I received:

The Trees Are Falling!

Posted by: drivelocity In: At Work

My office complex seems to be having a problem with trees dropping their limbs in the parking lot. It really hasn’t been much of an issue, other than a mere inconvenience, until now. last week, a coworker had a large limb drop on her brand new Honda Accord!
One theory is that the types of trees [...]

Shakespearean Insult Gum

Posted by: drivelocity In: At Work

A coworker just gave me some King Lear Shakespearean Insult Gum… It’s a little box with two gumballs and an insult printed inside. When I opened the box, it revealed the following:
Thou art deformed, crooked, old and sere, ill faced, worse bodied, shapeless everywhere, vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind, stigmatical to making, worse in mind [...]
