I often wonder why so many people still use Internet Explorer (IE). I suppose most people just think it is the only option considering that it is installed on a Windows computer when it arrives.

Ha…I am probably like most people in that I use about $5 a year on iPhone apps. Well…maybe I’m not the majority. I have no idea, but most of the pay apps suck, so I end up just taking the free ones for social networking stuff, radio, etc. most of the time. I did buy [...]

Found this to be a slightly interesting study. Particularly because when I was a kid I remember trying to convince my friend’s father that I could sing along to any song the first time I ever heard it. Technically that IS true, but for reasons far beyond the scope of my intelligence at the time, [...]

Catchy title, eh? Well…it is in line with the story I wanted to talk about. Since I put the title out there, I wonder what people thought when they see that title. I am willing to bet that there are people who would say they would rather die than be paralyzed, but enough of the [...]
