Stupid Homepage

I was in the office in FL this week and found this poor, abused and battered office cubical. UGH!

This weekend Natalie and I spent the weekend in Burbank, CA for our 6th Anniversary. Natalie actually surprised me with the Macbook Air so here we are and it truly is the hotness. It’s everything I’ve wanted in my MBP and everything my MBP isn’t but all in all I’m super stoked with it.More on the laptop after a weeks worth of usage.

I currently own an Macbook Pro and I’m 100% happy with it. When I travel or work away from home I’m always finding myself dreading lugging around my laptop. It’s not that its bulky but after lugging it around the airport all day (I’m cheep I fly coach) it’s more pain than pleasure.

I like to consider myself a minimalist so when Apple announced the Macbook Air I decided it’s the perfect companion for my mobile life. It’s light and the fact it has limited ports doesn’t bother me. (thats why we have USB hubs).

So if anyone wants to purchase a 3 month old Macbook Pro let me know. I need to make some room for my new business expense.

I’ve always been an huge fan of The Simpsons. But the most recent episode (That 90’s show) has to be one of my all time favorites. It featured guest like Weird Al and Kurt Loder but what made this so funny was the spoofs on 90’s popular music from Nirvana, The Verve, Semisonic, Color Me Bad and Bush

This episode was about the untold past of Homer and Marge. Below are some images and the highlights of the episode

Homer’s first dream “Inoffensive Urban Hip Hop like Smooth Grooves”

Marge and Homer decide to end their relationship while The Verve’s Bitter Sweet Symphony plays in the back ground

This past two weeks have been a roller coaster ride from hell. At Smartphone Experts we’ve fallen victim to the plague of web traffic growth.

One of our servers started trashing under heavy load. Nothing worked to fix the problem.

• We added more ram
• Moved assets to a separate server
• Optimized queries

Still the trashing continued.

Foo Fighters - Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace 
Honestly this album does it right. It’s been quite some time that I’ve been able to put the CD in and just hit play until it stops. I highly recommend it!
