• The New Tarkanian Court

    Last night, I went to the UNLV Rebel game. We lost the game, but the night was a special one for me. UNLV (finally) named the court after Jerry Tarkanian. Jerry Tarkanian is one of the most successful college basketball coaches of all time. He coached UNLV through the glory years and really influenced the…


  • Using Groups On Flickr

    To continue my talk of Flickr, I’d like to talk about Groups. Groups on Flickr can be created by anyone and it is just a way to bring together people who like to look at the same sort of photographs. For instance, if you are into Purple Flowers, you should belong to the Purple Flowers…


  • It Just Does Not Seem Fair

    Today I stopped at Arby’s for lunch. Thet total was $4.12. I handed the lady 4 ones and a quarter. When she had the ones in her hand, she took that magic money pen and drew a line on each one to be sure that the bills were not counterfeit.They do this on singles now?…


  • John Mayer Trio Sings The Blues

    I am a big fan of John Mayer. I also like the blues. That is why I was quite exctied to there that John Mayer was forming a new trio that would focus on Blues songs. Well, the John Mayer Trio has recorded their first album. (Interesting to note that it is a live album.)…


  • See The World With Flickr

    I’ve changed the look of this site again. One of the new features is a Flickr badge in my sidebar. Flickr is a great tool to share pictures. I recently purchased a Pro account so that I can upload alot more pictures there. If you click on any picture in the badge, you’ll be taken…


  • Better Way To Use The Internet

    I often get called by family and friends because their internet is not working. The first thing I always ask is, “What browser do you use?” and more often then not, the answer is “Internet Explorer” or “I don’t know, I just click the blue E.” When I hear this, I always tell them about…


  • My Thought Process

    My younger sister likes to poke fun at me because she says that my mind is always running. I admit it is true. It was confirmed again this morning. I rolled out of bed, hopped in the shower, and before 6 AM I had thought the following thoughts. I think that I will make it…


  • A Recipe For A Good Morning

    It really only takes three things to guarantee yourself a good morning. A New Showerhead- New showerheads are under 20 bucks and very easy to replace. You never realize how bad your old one is until you get a new one. A New Pair Of Socks- Is there any material object that feels better on…


  • The Internet Has Changed Lives Piece by Piece

    My last post got me thinking about some other activities that the internet has changed. There are a bunch of BIG things that have been changed obviously, but what about little things. For Instance: -Learning lyrics to a song- I remember going and buying an album and then being so excited when they decided to…


  • Time To Change the Way of The Weatherman

    I was watching TV last night, and I was bothered with the network’s plug for their 11PM news. It started off the normal way, promoting the lead story. That is fine. But then the absolutely annoying weatherman gets on and says something like, “We’ve had rain all day today. What will the rest of the…


  • How Do You Remember People?

    This morning I was reading an article on CNN.com called “Tricks to remembering names.” There are some good tips there. I use a few already. For instance, I keep an up-to-date contact book like it is part of my religion. I like to have all contact information very organized and easy to draw from. I…


  • Did someone call me from this number?

    I’ve written before about how there are some phrases that bother me. I need to add one more because it was brought to another level today. We all get the call at some time. It starts, “Hey, did someone call me from this number?”. To which my response is usually, “Did someone not answer on…


  • Brian Stucki Photoblog

    Some of you may have noticed the new feature in the sidebar that points to my photoblog. ( A photoblog is a blog that is regularly updated with photos.) I recently got my first DSLR camera and I really like it. The photoblog will be some of the pictures that I take. (With the most…


  • yourname.com

    If ever you have wanted to buy the domain of YOUR name (example: jamestaylor.com), now would be a good time. Yahoo is selling domain names for just $2.99 per year. That is really cheap. You can search available domain names here. Note: You don’t have to use the domain, but buying it will let you…


  • Now I Understand

    It has been 100 years since Einstein introduced E=mc2 to us.( I don’t know how to make the little small 2 so if you know how to do it, let me know.) I have to admit that I have been quite interested in Einstein lately. Ever since visting Bern, Switzerland (where Einstein did alot of…


  • Sleeping on the Streets

    This morning I got downtown a little after six. The sun was just peaking over the east mountains and casting long shadows across the city. I stopped by Walgreen’s to grab some orange juice and say hi to Ellie, my usual early morning cashier. All the tourists were recovering from the parties the night before.…


  • Comment Trouble

    Thank you to those of you who have been writing comments. I hadn’t seen any come through for a while so I looked in the list of comments being moderated and found about 40 in there. I saved the ones that I could and then turned off the comment moderation. I will do that manually…


  • My Own Genre of Music

    When I was in high school, my two favorite styles of music were Country and Hip-Hop/Rap. I liked most of the music that came thru in those genres. However, both have gone down in quality. My two complaints: Country music has become a contest of cliches. This makes for very shallow songs. Rap music seems…


  • Dashboard Mosaic Complete

    It’s been a while since the dashboard contest started and ended, and this is what I have concluded. 1) I’m not as artisitic as I thought. 2) There are alot of really cool widgets out there that I have never seen. I did make one poster that I will share. But I would really like…


  • FreeMacWare.com

    One of the best parts about owning a Mac computer is the amazing choice of freeware that is available. (Freeware is free software.) These are usually from developers that write an application, and then just share it with the rest of the Mac community. But sometimes it is also big companies that give free versions…
