My man Irfan has released a new version of Irfanview — one of my all-time favorite utilities.

Download it here.

And don’t forget the plug-in package here.

Poor kids don’t have a chance.

If you’re man enough to make a baby, you should be man enough to be a committed husband and father.

Looks like New Line Cinema doesn’t want Peter Jackson to do The Hobbit. That’s a bummer.

Well gosh, Chris Webber is not happy in Philly.

I like what Rick Kamla has to say about that:

Chris Webber, 76ers: The 20-10 days are over. You know the end is near when your coach no longer thinks twice about sitting you down in the fourth quarter because you can’t jump over a paper clip.

Lame excuses

I think I’d almost prefer someone tell me an outright lie instead of churning out some super-lame excuse. I mean, really, you think I’m that dumb?

One thing that I hope my kids will always remember from their parents: If you tell a lie you get in worse trouble than if you told the truth about something bad.

I’m addicted to Google Reader and miffed about Yahoo Bookmarks Beta.

For several years, I’ve loaded my My Yahoo home page with RSS feeds of sites & blogs that I frequented. When I gave Google Reader a spin, I was surprised how cool the interface was. I then took all of my feeds and added them to Google Reader and now I’ve pretty much dumped My Yahoo altogether. It seems to me that Reader updates the feeds a lot quicker than Yahoo does, which , in general, is true about Yahoo and Google for just about everything. Google: plain and fast, Yahoo:rich and slow.

Another reason I’ve stopped using My Yahoo: Yahoo released their next generation Yahoo Bookmarks Beta. I relied on the old Yahoo Bookmarks heavily. Bookmarks Beta is not available to add as a My Yahoo module. Who knows when it will be. Ticked me off. The only thing I miss from My Yahoo is the sports scores and the lead news photos. Everything else I have on my personalized Google Home Page.
