Joel’s Family Christmas Pictures
I am a bit late in getting these pictures up, oh well. I am trying out Google’s Picasa slideshow feature, let me know what you guys think. I probably won’t switch from my standard method of putting pictures on my blog, but this allows me to display higher quality photos without using up all of my bandwidth with 1and1.com.… read more “Joel’s Family Christmas Pictures”
Joel is learning AJAX!
Go check out the page on my website that I have made using an AJAX tool. AJAX allows me to display different HTML pages on one page with a cool “glide” action between them. Let me know what you think!

SuperBowl Victory By Giants
Eli Manning led the giants to a shocking victory over the Patriots in the SuperBowl today. The Patriots had gone 18-0 this season, steamrolling every team. But when pretty boy Tom Brady started getting hit by the best defensive line in football, he couldn’t handle it. The result was a Giants win 17-14.
SuperBowl
Off to the wonderful Superbowl of Oz…
My prediction is New England Patriots 35- New York Giants 17.
Patriots have an 85% chance of winning the game.
Google Search Algorithm Formula Hypothesis
From lots of observation, research, reading and experimentation, I believe that I have distilled the very basic formula behind the way that Google displays it’s search results. Google has publicly stated that it’s search results have over one hundred different factors and I’m sure that they do, but what they don’t talk about as much is that only a few factors are of primary importance.… read more “Google Search Algorithm Formula Hypothesis”
Ian Coleman Makes Beef Tartare
My talented professional chef friend Ian Coleman came over for one of our Monday night dinner’s a while back and prepared the best beef tartare I have ever tasted. Beef tartare is a mix of three different types of raw beef (sorry Ian, I can’t remember which cuts) combined with various sauces and seasonings till it reaches perfection. Ian has been trying to teach me how to cook better at these dinners, but I usually end up sitting in awe as he makes the most savory dishes of my life. Beef tartare is usually an appetizer, but I wanted to learn how to make it so we had it as our main course. Ian made several pounds of beef tartare and soft boiled eggs to eat with it on top of bread cracker things.
Beef tartare is now one of my favorite dishes. The group of us had some great fun.
