There has been rumors for some time now that Google has been patiently developing plans to release a cell phone to the market. Well, it appears that this is true.

If your Visual Studio crashes as much as mine does, you have invariably ran into an error stating "Unable to write to output file [filepathandname]: Unspecified error". At first, this error really ticked me off, as it left me with no path to troubleshoot and correct the error.

I forgot to mention yet another tid-bit about this Safari release...

I just wanted to hit on a very good point when it comes to the Safari web browser... SPEED.

A friend and colleague just sent me a link to the download page for the Safari web browser. I was instantly impressed that Apple is attempting to make their web browser a serious player in the Internet world by making it a cross-platform player, but I am equally not impressed with this release.

With the marketing giant, Microsoft, you cannot deny that Vista is the best operation system, ever. Right? Hmmm...

I thought while I was jammin' out, listening to some Miles Davis that I should post an update...

If you are looking at this post, you are probably already aware of the issues that Internet Explorer (read: EXPLODER) forces developers to deal with when using the

HTML tag to do certain things. Most all of the dynamic menu systems use this tag, so Internet Explorer is placing a huge hurdle in front of us.

Now, I am sure that this post will generate some comments (sent or not) about GIMP. I have not used GIMP because at home I have a full version of Photoshop CS. However, at work right now I do not have any image editing abilities other than what the standard "Paint" application and Microsoft Office offer. Nearly everyone knows that those options are horrible. I tried installing GIMP some weeks ago, but the install conflicted with a GAIM/Jabber (now called Pidgin - that story is yet another reason to HATE AOL) installation I have and I really do not want to mess with that.

I know this isn't new, but I just recently paid some attention to the LinkedIn social networking site. I found it to be a very interesting and creative spin on using the social networking power found on the Internet to connect co-workers and former co-workers. Not only that, it contains features to help each other advance themselves professionally. I have only been a member for about a week, but my first impression of this web site is very positive.
