Last week I loaded the April 3 Security Update from Microsoft onto my work computer. http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/update/bulletins/200704OOB.mspx This update was marked as Critical and was released early just to get it in circulation. Unfortunately it created a .dll conflict error. RTHDCPL.EXE – Illegal System DLL Relocation The system DLL user32.dll was relocated in memory. The application…

How Subway Lost It’s Way
Subway, the sandwich shop, is the largest franchise by store count. I believe McDonalds is larger by revenue, but I digress. Back in my college days in 2008, Subway was my go to when the cafeteria food was bad. The sandwich was just that a sandwich, the cost was $5 as the 5-dollar footlong was…

My first hotel experience in Lapu Lapu City was the Crown Regency Hotel. I will be comparing it, in part, with my visit last year. The Crown Regency is an older hotel along a main road in Lapu Lapu City. Per the elevator buttons, it has ten floors. It has a small swimming pool and…

Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham and the rest of the talk show conservatives are giving each other high fives as Barack Obama makes yet another stupid decision today.

Apple has a new phone. Yeah, big deal. Who cares. It can’t multitask and it can’t cut n’ paste. What about Wi-Fi hotspots. Not with this phone. Who needs SD RAM? There’s better phones out there but they don’t have the PR machine that Apple can fund. Half the features, twice the price. That’s Apple…

I have often heard that being President of the United States is one of the toughest jobs in the world. We’ve all seen the before and after photos of young candidates who leave office looking twice their age. After last night, I found an even harder job. Try being an apologist for John McCain in…

Sorry I have been gone from this blog for a while but I’m back now. It is now a week since the June 3rd primary in California. Yeah, the one without the top of the ticket candidates. Amazingly, in this age of instant gratification and computer technology, one of the local races is far from…
