Call-in-Sick: A Whole New Level of Laziness
I came across Call-in-Sick this morning, a service that simply enough allows you to call in sick to work with the click of a button. I quickly gave this service a try on my own phone number, and noticed something right away. The phone call came from my own number, so it was completely anonymous. [...]
Gizmodo: Bad Taste Article #2
Back in December nd log before Macworld, the popular technology and gadget blog Gizmodo posted a very bold article entitled “Gizmodo Knows: iPhone Will Be Announced On Monday”. That next Monday we all learned that it was indeed the Cisco iPhone that was being released, and Gizmodo took some heat for making such a bold [...]
Music of the Day: Kill the Alarm - Fire Away
I first heard this song on the Daily Source Code the other day, and I can’t get it out of my head.The band is Kill the Alarm, and the song is Fire Away. The best thing is you can get the single free on their website, and it has me anxiously waiting for the CD [...]
Download of the Day: Opera Mobile
When I picked up the Palm 750, I immediately started looking for a different mobile browser to use other than Internet Explorer. I have always preferred Firefox over Opera, but there is no doubt that Opera is a fantastic browser. Unfortunately Firefox does not currently have any mobile offerings for their great browser.

Google Checkout Sucks! PayPal Has No Worries: Update
After forty five minutes of talking to Dicks Sporting Goods customer service line, they have canceled my Google Checkout order and placed an order with their store directly.

Google Checkout Sucks! PayPal Has No Worries
I hate to use such a bold title, but it’s true. My initial review of Google Checkout was good, the service seemed simple and easy to use, with one big exception… the service can be the easiest thing to use but if it doesn’t work than it’s not worth using! So we are 48 hours [...]
Both Bluray and HD-DVD Cracked
In continued proof that “Doors and windows are to protect you from honest people”, Bluray DRM has reportedly been cracked just weeks after HD-DVD DRM was cracked. What does this tell us? Well not sure, I guess it says that no matter what you can thrown at a determined person time will allow them to [...]
How Google Checkout Compares to PayPal: Part 1
Google has really been pushing their Google Checkout service as of late. The latest ploy to get users to switch from PayPal is to offer $10 off a Google Checkout order. So I thought what a better time to try out the service than now, plus I need to pick up a new Colts jersey [...]
Recovering From Last Night… Colts Win!
Extra strong coffee was needed this morning to get me going for the work day. The Colts are going to the super bowl! I live in Indianapolis, well actually just north of the city, but I went to school in Indy and grew to be a Colts fan over the last six years. I have [...]
Why WordPress Is the Best Content Management System
You know WordPress as the popular blogging software, but there is great evidence on why WordPress is also one of the best content management systems out there. In the next couple of months we will be revamping the BlueCrestStudios website and product line, a long overdue event. In doing so, we reviewed many content [...]
