Javascript: Figuring out daylight savings time.
Updated 11/2/2009: Fixed bug with code pointed out by comment. A while back I had been dealing with the different timezones across the US. I needed to know whether or not the central timezone was in daylight savings time or not using my current timestamp from my computer. While this ultimately ended up not mattering [...]Politics and hand grenades.
Well in light of today being November 4th I have decided to vote. Though I feel non of the candidates really are going to make the specific changes I would like to see happen. Ok here is a list of changes I think could really improve the country and possibly get us out of debt. First [...]Fall, Halloween, Football, Sweatshirts, and lot fo dead stuff
Well summer is officially over in my opinion. I turned off the AC and have begun my search for wood to burn in the fireplace. I had been hoping to move into a house in November but it is looking more like it will be later then that. I love the fall air the smell [...]How bad was your labor day weekend?
Well my labor day weekend was interesting to say the least. Mostly hung out with family in such. Nothing real crazy. My brother and I were coming back to my apartment after going disc golfing Labor Day and I noticed a car parked at my apartment building. Apparently someone has had a rather bad labor [...]Music for everyone not just geeks.
I stumbled across a rather decent orchestration of the song "To Zanarkand" which is from a video game. IT seems strange to me that people are reluctant in this culture to consider video games a work of art on the same level as movies. I may be a geek and lie my games but [...]Fish Mox will it save me for $15?
As some of you may or may not know. I suffer from Chronic Bronchitis. Which means that I get Bronchitis a lot. I am not sure why of this but most doctors I have talked to related it to my smoking habit I had for some time. That I still struggle [...]Meet Buzz the alcoholic bee!
So I have been working on a project and well decided every good project needs a mascot! I decided to make a mascot in hopes that in doing so I might get better at photoshop along the way. Basically I looked around the internet for a cartoon bee. I figured if I could [...]Batman: The Dark Knight Advanced Screening!
Zurch and I decided to attend the advanced screening of Batman Begins 2 better known as The Dark Knight. I actually thought being a Thursday night at midnight would detour a lot of people who had to work the next day. I was wrong. The place was packed. It was [...]How God coded our DNA
This is rather an old joke I am told but I had never seen it before. It is really nerdy some people who do not deal with coding may not understand the humor in it. For those of you who do deal with code it is pretty clever. A friend at work sent this to [...]Ebay is selling Teagan Presley breast implants?
Well I was randomly surfing the net today and ran across an interesting tidbit. Apparently Ebay is being used to resell Porn Star's breast implants? How does that work when they get upgrades they pawn off the old ones to whoever is willing to buy them.?I am not sure if this is legit [...]Hitting Goals
Well the year is about half over lets see how I am doing on those pesky New Years Resolutions I set back in December. Getting down to a lean 185: I recently weighed myself and got my body fat tested. I am down to 189 and 11.9% body fat. I have been frequently chaning my [...]Lethal By Default Show (update!)
A couple weeks back we went to a local show in Galesburg at Billards on Main. My brothers band Lethal By Default was the second band playing. I have a video of the show but I have not been able to get my miniDV to hook up to my computer. I have a [...]Volleyball Victory!
Well we finally pulled our shit together on friday. They trick was we didn't drink through 2 buckets of beer before the game. We played the second place team who had recently beat the first place team. We won te first game 25-20 came back to win the second game 25-22. We did lose the [...]My suggested free software list! (Advanced and Home)
Ok it's that time again for a techy like email to help my fellow computer users. I have worked hard to compile some suggested software that cost you nothing! I have many of these installed on my own computer at home and recommend them. I am going to cover a variety of [...]Zurcher and Anseeuw make the paper!
This is sort of old news around here but I felt it was worth popping a small entry about. As the story goes the two had visited the flooded water down by downtown Davenport. After seeing each other they decided to go floating in the flooded waters of Mississippi. After floating for [...]My Fellow Vista Users… Some Mac Trashing and Tricks.
I have been working with Windows Vista Home Premium (mainly because it came with my computer) for about a year now. I have heard many people trash it...though I know for a fact they do not run it, so their opinion is about the same as asking someone about a certain food [...]One Missed Call…SUCKS! *Some Spoilers*
Recently picked up this flick for fun. I knew it was based on a Japanese version of some thriller; The Ring had given me a good scare, so I was hopeful it might be decent. They did not really bother building up a what was going on at the start of the film. [...]A Christmas Story (Back By Popular Demand)
Well Christie asked me to repost the Christmas rant I had last year. I dug it up and added a little image for fun. BTW I also fixed the spelling errors thank god Firefox has spell checker now! Grammar errors are still in their glorious original state. Holy Crap, Christmas is here!! I cant [...]A Shopping Trip in Indiana
Recently I was informed my good buddy who lives in Indiana decided to make this last weekend his one stop Christmas shopping adventure with his wife. Knowing how my friend works I decided to post my guess as to how the story went. 10am arrival at the mall. I am sure by this point in time my [...]Cow Gas, Barry Bonds, and Naked Yoga! What’s Next?
It's 2007 and the media have flooded the internet with more news that any one person can possibly read. What is so curious to me however is what pieces of news are the most popular. I would like to take a moment and analyze the useless information floods popular new search engines in my style. I [...]Mystery my ass! (Rated R Language)
I recently purchased some still landscape prints on Ebay.com to hang on my wall. I noticed another auction called Mystery Auction with a picture of a cat. I decided it was of interest of me enough to waste a mouse click on. The auction consisted of a white cat lying on a couch with some title [...]Jurrasic Fart Video
Another funny video found by Christie.Cool Site for snagging videos (FLV)
www.videodl.org is currently in a beta state but allows you to actually download videos from the big video providers. The videos will come down in FLV format (Macromedia's Flash Video Format) therefore you will need to have an FLV player installed on your computer. You can get one from Wimpy Player. I [...]Search
