My Quest for Bicerin

On Friday night, I speedily made my way through my TiVo’d Torino Olympic Ceremonies. Most of the 3–some hour marathon was pointless and boring, but one 2 minute segment caught my eye. It was about a quaint cafe that sits across from a church, called “Al Bicerin” . It is famous for it’s drink, Bicerin…

Remembering Regsvr32

I just tried to open Sauce Reader, my blog reader of choice, but all it gave me was an error and an option to close. After digging through the error message, I found the message, “Class not registered”. Ok, easy enough. I opened a command prompt and started to register each dll in the Sauce…

Emulating Digg Spy using AJAX.NET

In my latest project, I need to build a lead system for our sales people. It will work very similarly to the digg.com/spy application, so I took advantage of their model in order to learn AJAX.NET. I decided to go with AJAX.NET, rather than the new Anthem, just to get my feet wet. I will…

Jeffrey Richter’s new book: CLR via C#

By far my favorite technical author is Jeffrey Richter. The combination of clarity, depth and slight humor is simply unrivalled in the computer industry. Several times I have done searches trying to find out when he would have a new book coming out. I have read his Applied .NET Framework cover to cover, and almost cover…

Cirque Du Soleil Ka was Ka-rap

If you have seen any other Cirque show, you will agree that this show is very sub par. I went to Las Vegas specifically to see this show, so it was a big let down. The reason we like Cirque is the awesome combination of art, ingenuity and acrobatics. This show has LOTS of ingenuity…

Tomorrow: Biggest Fight Ever

Oh yes, it's time for some Mixed Martial Arts action, a la the Ultimate Fighting Championship. The biggest fight the UFC has ever had is upon us tomorrow night, when Randy Couture and Chuck Liddel go at for the third time. I will be at Hooters in Hollywood if anyone wants to join the fun…

I am NetfixFan’s Enemy

Here is my response to NetflixFan wondering why her four movies are taking so long: Three of the four movies she is waiting for passed through my hands in the last week. Granted we have different distribution centers, but still deserves a smile :). What she needs: What I got:

Counting Down Until Community Server

I am counting down the days until February 17th when Community Server version 2 goes RTM. The latest Beta 3 were released last week, and I am biting my download trigger finger to keep from installing it. Just a few more weeks… Sometime in the recent few weeks I jumped to a Google PageRank of…

Traffic.com

Now that I moved farther away from work, and am forced to take some gnarly freeways, Sigalert.com got very tiring. It has gaping holes on very important freeways, and is hard to read quickly. Starting this week I found and started using Traffic.com. I set up a bunch of different routes I can take to…
