Some days I need a shot of caffeine to keep me from falling asleep. Whenever I go to Starbucks, I make sure to order iced coffee (or tea, for that matter). Want to know why? They make the coffee so bloody hot that I need to wait 5-10 minutes before [...]

I was born only with a silver spoon in my mouth so I had always gone to pubic school. I’m sure some of you one percenters went to private institutions. Any dotTechie been homeschooled? If yes, I sure as heck hope you did not get an education similar to the [...]

I’ve been reviewing programs on dotTech, previously known as Politically Motivated (dotnet) for those of you that have been around for that long, for over four years now (dotTech’s fourth birthday just passed last Monday). It is safe to say I have come across my fair share of crappy programs. [...]

If Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, and Internet Explorer had personalities and could talk, what would they say? If they were to happen to get together have a little chat, how would it go? “I’m the best”? “I am faster”? Nah, that is way too boring and predictable. How about the [...]

I remember once I had a brain fart and tried to CTRL + F to search for something on a piece of paper. (Have I already told everyone this story? I’m getting old…) Have you ever tried to use computer commands in real life (aka life outside your computer)? It [...]

Ever notice some people have a tendency to blame computer problems on viruses? If anything ever goes wrong with a computer, a virus must be responsible. It doesn’t matter if the computer is infected or not, or if the reason the computer is behaving the way it is because of [...]

Are you a procrastinator? Don’t be ashamed. Am I a procrastinator? I’ll tell you later. The artist from Something of that Ilk apparently is part of the clan because s/he has an epic comic that hits so close to home I cannot even put words to it. If you are [...]

I have a confession to make. I’ve never really ever made my bed. Yes, yes once or twice I’ve taken the initiative, but for the better part of my life my bed either remained messy, my mom made it, or my wife did. (Don’t flame me, you feminist felines.) If [...]

I never really understood why but some people are really particular about their photos. In fact, some go so far as to cover their faces in photos because they never seem to have a pose they like. If you are one of these types of people then you will enjoy [...]

You have been working diligently on something (assignment, project, etc.) for the past few hours and are almost finished. You keep thinking to yourself: “I’m almost done, there is no need to save now — I’ll save when I finish, what is the worst that can happen.” Then, all of [...]
