Chainsaw Screams Highway to Hell

Amy and I attended the Billy Joel concert with a couple of friends in Salt Lake City on November 29th, 2007. Joel introduced roadie “Chainsaw” how was there to sing a special religious number as a guest appearance. At this point, the classic crunchy guitar sounds of Angus Young combined with Brian Johnon-like screams filled [...]

Sometimes, Blogs Reminds Me Why

I had to re-read my blog post on the iPhone. I had to remember why I took the phone back.
Now I remember. I’ll wait.
Although, it was nice to see that when I was playing with my wife’s iPhone last weekend, I noticed that the end a sentence and double space will insert a period. I [...]

Why Do Street Cleaners Operate in the Winter?

I was in Sandy at 106th area for lunch today. As I was parking, I saw a street cleaner coming up State Street.
My first thought was that it was a truck being moved for the winter. But then I saw those round brooms sweeping and working away. This was strange to me since the street [...]

Fishing with Bridget on Thanksgiving Day

A friend of mine has a tradition of fishing on Thanksgiving. Sounded good to me. Fish in the morning and eat in the afternoon.
This year I tried to recruit the boys to go with me. They’d been in the “winter” and quickly passed. My oldest girl, however, was all go.
We fished just below the Deer [...]

My Proof of Global Warming

Ecto 3.0 Beta vs. 2.x

I must say that while ecto 3.0 is a rewrite to be better than the old version, I’m about 98.9 percent unimpressed with the result. It’s beta so I should cut some slack. However, I was forced to move to the beta after upgrading to Leopard, lost all my settings, customizations, etc.
Ecto 3.0 has lost/removed [...]

Owning a dotcom vs. a dotorg

I’m lucky. I staked my claim on bradbaldwin.com a long time ago. Of course I only have to compete against a porn star (I won’t link for obvious reasons) for search ranking. This video story from Andy Jordan at the Wall St. Journal about his challenge with having a “dotorg” vs. a “dotcom.” Enjoy.

Will I Be Wearing a Dodger Cap Next Season?

Torre is switching coasts. A-Rod is out. The big apple is a great place, but I sure like the weather better in LA. My brother-in-law is a long-life Dodger fan. Maybe I’ll become one too.
