I am not gay (not that there’s anything wrong with that)

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

The immortal words of U.S. Senator Larry Craig, of Idaho, rang throughout the nation yesterday.
Back on June 11, 2007, Craig was arrested in a mens room at the Minneapolis St. Paul airport after he signaled to another man in the restroom to initiate sex. The problem was that the other man was Sgt. Dave Karsnia, [...]

the name is “Claude Allouez”

Saturday, August 25th, 2007

We’re building a new bridge here in De Pere, Wisconsin. De Pere is a small city of 20,000, just south of Green Bay. The Fox River runs right through town, splitting the east and west sides. The Claude Allouez Bridge, a two-lane bridge built in 1933, is deteriorating and must be replaced.
There was much controversy [...]

baptized by the Bishop

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

My daughter, Casey, and I went to the Packer game together tonight. The Packers played the Jacksonville Jaguars in their 3rd pre-season game. I’ve got to show you this cool photo. No, not the one over there on the right…the thumbnail below.
Early in the 2nd quarter, Packers rookie Desmond Bishop made a nasty hit on [...]

HTML e-mail is crap

Monday, August 20th, 2007

There are many conflicting opinions about HTML e-mail, how effective it is, how secure it is, and if it should even be used. HTML e-mail should absolutely never be used, for several reasons:

Not everyone uses it. Every e-mail user can view plain text e-mails. 100%. The same cannot be said for HTML e-mail. No matter [...]

lost 20 pounds!

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

I stepped on the scale back on May 3, as I do on ocassion, and the needle moved around to an all-time high of “255″. And I figured, that’s about enough. So I decided to get healthy.
I used to be in pretty good shape, 25 years ago. Tennis was my game. I played in high [...]

CNN Video: gotta have it

Wednesday, August 8th, 2007

Last year, I wrote in this blog about CNN Pipeline, an online news service supported by paid subscriptions. It’s been a godsend! Well, the folks at CNN have determined that their subscriber base is not large enough to continue the service. So, it’s gone.
However, in its place is CNN Video. This is even better. Like [...]

Barry Bonds is the king

Wednesday, August 8th, 2007

At 10:51pm central time tonight, Barry Bonds broke Hank Aaron’s career home run record in a game where the San Francisco Giants lost to the visiting Washington Nationals 8-6. Bonds hit his 756th career home run, and he deserves to be honored for that.
Though it’s not been proven, many people believe that he has used [...]

you call that a roundabout? you can’t be serious!

Saturday, August 4th, 2007

Holy crap! We’re in the middle of a major project in De Pere to build a new bridge over the Fox River. The existing Claude Allouez Bridge is 75 years old and needs to be replaced. It’s taken us a decade of talking and debating to get to where we are now. As a result, [...]

how do you protect your kids online?

Wednesday, August 1st, 2007

I make my living on the internet. I’ve been doing so since 1995. I believe deeply in the power of the internet; it’s by far the most powerful medium in the history of the world. But it has its dangers. So, how do I respond when people ask, “Scott, how do you protect your kids [...]
