I recently updated my site’s main page to conform to the HTML5 standard! Easy stuff, but there’s still a lot I’d love to do with not only my main page, but a lot of my inner pages as well. For instance, I can’t wait to begin applying jQuery and UI functionality, and getting rid of

XHTML Strict
Just finished updating my site’s main page to conform to the W3C XHTML Strict standard! Easy stuff, but a bit time consuming. Will move on to a few other pages next… I’m also going to put an AJAX call into the Border Change feature on the main http://twghof.com (The World’s Greatest – Hall o’ Fame)

Good Work is Hard To Find
Recently had my teeth whitened, and my two front (non-vital) teeth fixed with a chairside veneer. From where my teeth were at, the Dentist did an awesome job. I’d been wanting to do this for about 15 years now. And in finally able to do so, I just wanted to pay tribute to a job
White Collar Comedy
I was wondering today how come White Collar Comedy never became popular as Blue Collar Comedy has. Then it occurred to me that it probably failed 2 days into beta testing. Now that’s funny right der! [Keith’s click at humor] They don’t call me Ctrl-C for nuthin’! Well, okay, I call myself that. But for

Last Day on World of Warcraft (WoW)
06/15 (Mon): Last Day of World of Warcraft (WoW) When I first started WoW, I enjoyed exploring new grounds, seeing new things, and just learning the basics of the game. In the end, I just enjoyed the questing, and then the goal to get to 80. I’m not sure the difference between levels 1-40 and
Business Trip to San Fran
Landed in SF just before noon on Sunday. It was a good trip. Talked quite a bit with the lady next to me. She was a teacher from Indianapolis. Was also going to SF (first time to Cali) on business. Spoke of her husband and one of her 2 kids. I did a little on
I Miss Century Bank (aka, I now have ATM Fees [fees being plural])
Recently, Wells Fargo acquired Century Bank. My first withdrawl at a Non-Wells Fargo ATM produced these results on my balance sheet. NON-MEMBER ATM FEE – ATM USAGE = $3.00 (the ATM fee itself) NON-WF ATM BAL INQUIRY FEE = $1.50 (for having the ATM tell me my balance) NON-WELLS FARGO ATM TRANSACTION FEE = $2.50
Merriam-Webster
My first impression was, you can’t be serious… Merriam-Webster is supporting Pizza Hut? Upon further examination, it was just a sponsored (keyword) advertisement. Upon even further examination, I found it interesting that: The Right-Wing definition date was: 1856The Left-Wing definition date was: 1884 And I suppose I should transition that part over to my “and
Movies: Surround Lighting
They do 5.1 and 7.1 audio. I’m wondering when 2.1 or 4.1 lighting will be available? Even if just in the movie theaters to start. I saw some reflections during a shootout while watching Bangkok Dangerous, and it was cool. Looked like the gunfire was coming from my side. I now have 5.1 surround, so
Job Reductions Lead to LinkedIn.com
Last Tuesday, I was caught between a 10% reduction in force and a company restructure. While I believe this will catapult me into learning new technologies and methodologies, trying to find the company that has an accommodating position can be a daunting task. In the meantime, I’ve picked up knowledge of more networking technologies, the
30′ x 40′ Earth Berm Passive Solar House in Central Maine
A friend from work moved north to get back to his roots. Although I do believe consulting contractors might facilitate the process in many ways, I totally admire his dedication and willingness to do something on such a large scale, and wish him success in this endeavor. This is his story:I bought 10 acres of
What’s Wrong with America?
American Express held a vote in which it’s members would decide on where it would donate large sums of money. This is an excellent gesture and a most gracious award for the winners. Many kudos to American Express in doing this. The results just came in and I was quite dismayed. I guess I shouldn’t
Politics > Match-O-Matic
Have fun with this. It lets you know how much selective listening you really do. Have you already made your selection? If so, is your selection really based on the ‘promises’ made by either party? It’d be nice if they did more of these blind tests. Match-O-Matic – Copyright © 2008 ABCNews Internet Ventures —
The Debate – 2008
Okay, I didn’t want to do this, but this is frustrating. I’m a democrat, but I have no issues voting Republican or even Independent, depending on who I consider appropriate for the position, or worst case, against who isn’t appropriate. I was pro-Bush in his first term, but vehemently against him for his second term
Forgetting Friends
For about 18 years now I’ve had a specific memory plague me which ironically was due to the lack of many memories. For whatever reason, I don’t have a clue why, my memories of high school are few and far between. And unfortunately, this doesn’t preclude the lack of all my memories with some of
Second Life; World of Warcraft
I can’t find it, but I watched part of a news segment last night on CNN that discussed the psychological impact (both negatively and positively) of virtual worlds on people. First discussing Doom, they moved into more current games such as Vice City, and then branched into a 10-15 minute spiel on how Second Life
iGoogle Themes
Do you Google? You need to be signed in to Google be able to see this… http://www.google.com/ig?skin=http://kdcinfo.com/ig.xml This is just something I threw together to test the iGoogle Themes development arena. Fairly simple really. Still considering whether it’s worth it to go further on the layout: What is where and color scheme. I just did
Multi-Page Notebook App
The only open source equivalent I found for this program was discontinued back in 2004. Although the obsolete version of the app still runs on XP, I’m not sure about scalability for when we downgrade to Vista. Also, don’t believe either of these apps runs outside of Windows at all (short of wine, sorry *nix
