Over the last few weeks I’ve been thinking about opening up another small business. For those of you that don’t know, I am the owner of Usable Web Solutions, LLC which primarily is focused on providing an affordable online presence to small businesses and nonprofits. My mindset was that I really like putting […]

Hey everyone. I had to delay adding some entries to the Journal since I just completed a major switch from a third party hosting service for this website to my in-house, Usable Web Solutions hosting service. This will afford us a much cheaper annual rate (nearly slicing it in half or making it […]

The current season of Lost is turning out to be pretty decent. This is definitely not the same show that started in September 2004 and I think that is rather obvious to anyone who has watched every episode. As one of my roommates said the other day, the first season of Lost has […]

About a week ago I celebrated my 18 month anniversary being employed by my company. If you read the post on Joe’s Journal, then you know that I wound up celebrating in rare form. And while that journal entry is more a display of a minor annoyance, there are other things going on […]

While I was busy the last few weeks, Joe’s Journal eclipsed 100,000 spam comments captured by Askimet. Talk about pathetic, right? Not only are there losers in this world that are sitting by a computer hitting the “send” button as spam, but there are uber-losers who create software robots to do this automatically!
Talk […]

Believe it or not, I didn’t totally hate this movie. I should qualify that statement, though. I went into watching this thing knowing that it was going to be smut, have crappy acting, and be about as deep as a raindrop puddle. Well, I was completely right!
There are no major performances worth […]

We all knew it had to happen at some point…well, here we go! My first office aggravation entry! Whoo hoo! Exciting! So, without any further adieu, I present my first awkward situation and the first time that I’ve put myself out there as someone NOT to be wrecklessly and witlessly tread […]

Howdy, folks! I realize that my updates on this blog have been few and far in between over the last few weeks, but I will be back to posting somewhat regularly very soon (maybe even…now). For those of you who thirst for my take on a variety of issues, fear not - I […]

Both the Republican and Democratic Presidential primaries are becoming the stuff of political science legend. You have the meteoric rise and fall of the Rudy Giuliani candidacy, the record-setting fundraising of Ron Paul, the almost unbelievable success of Mike Huckabee and his shoestring budget, the historic candidacy of either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama […]

The last two weeks have been extremely busy, but there have been great things going on all over the place! Besides the Giants winning the SuperBowl and Bill Belicheck being exposed as the sore-losing cheater that he is, there have been Presidential primaries, work, volunteer stuff, and more.
Earlier this week I had the opportunity […]

After thinking about it a little bit more, I have a few more comments about the Giants in general and the SuperBowl last night. My first thought is that I always thought Jeremy Shockey was a bit of a bully to Eli and the rest of the Giants organization. He reminds me of […]

Whoooo!!! Can you believe it? A team that started off the season 0 - 2 and a quarterback that many had written off as not ready for the big leagues managed to win the biggest game on the biggest stage we’ve seen in the NFL in years! Combine that with the fact […]
