ClearType
Monday, February 7th, 2005This isn’t exactly news. But I just remembered to link to this today.
If you don’t have ClearType activated on your Windows XP machine, you should do it now. It will make everything look prettier (it’s subtle, but worth it).
How to turn on ClearType for Windows XP
I don’t know why the default for this […]
iProduct
Thursday, January 13th, 2005With all the hype about sweet new mac products that we all need, I thought this was very appropritate.
(disclaimer: sorry about the errant profanity… i didn’t see it when i first posted this, if it’s going to make your brain bleed don’t read the second paragraph)
PlaneShift
Thursday, January 13th, 2005This new freeware game for the Mac could spell disaster for my usage of time. I may need several of you out there to keep me accountable to not download this.
I resisted the siren call of Everquest and (worse still) Neverwinter Nights or even World of Warcraft mostly because of cost, and realizing that […]
God Pod
Wednesday, January 12th, 2005U2 did it.
Why shouldn’t Christians?
What an awesome idea from ChurchMarketingSucks.com, encouraging us to “think different”
Weird science
Thursday, November 4th, 2004This is scary, I want more information because it is slightly alarming:
‘Brain’ in a dish flies flight simulator
Apple + U2
Monday, October 18th, 2004I’m glad I waited to purchase an iPod.
Rumor: Apple may release a U2-themed iPod, containing their entire catalogue, for only $30 more than a regular one.
Other sources of the rumor.
I am, however, going to wait on getting the logo branded onto my wrist or forhead.
Assault Rifles
Wednesday, September 29th, 2004This is an M4 A2 assault rifle. I really, really want one…
Usernames, accounts, privacy protection.
Thursday, August 19th, 2004If you had to make a list of every user account you had somewhere on the internet (from yahoo, to banking, to newsgroups, to news services, to bulletien boards) could you do it? Do you remember your username and password?
Down with IE!
Thursday, July 8th, 2004Okay, I harp on this every once in awhile. Seems like an almost weekly occurence. But over at my Web development site I’ve compiled a few articles on huge reasons you should switch away from IE. It’s just not safe to use.
Why IE is not safe to use anymore
Switch to Mozilla Firefox
With the faith of a mac user…
Wednesday, June 2nd, 2004Well, I have officially been a Mac user for about three weeks now. I feel like I’ve been using them my whole life. It’s like I’ve been… born again… or something… :)
There is an interesting spirtual parallel here… (heheh)
This article actually does a pretty accurate job of describing the switch to a Mac. […]
Spyware
Monday, May 17th, 2004If you have been experiencing strange things on your PC lately (especially related to the internet), you probably have some spyware on it.
Check out my mini-article on how to get rid of and protect against spyware on mattheerema.com my Web development site.
Internet Explorer is horrible
Thursday, May 6th, 2004Tim suggested I blog about this (even though I probably have elsewhere). I really don’t want to bore you with all the specific details of why, because they are mostly technical. But IE causes me numerous headaches a day. Mostly I want to alert you to the benefits of using another browser. […]
VIRUS ALERT
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2004Bagel.J virus alert
Guys, read this, It almost fooled me… you may already have it.
Web Browser
Wednesday, January 28th, 2004So far, very few people are reading my other site (mattheerema.com), and that is probably just as well, because it’s a tech site, and most likely very few of you are geeks who may be interested in the stuff on there.
I had an entry on there a few days ago that is worth […]
Google me baby!
Wednesday, December 17th, 2003This is probably only exciting to me. But it speaks to a recent hobby/undertaking of mine and its success.
two months ago, www.mattandnancy.org sat in google obscure-dom (under a search for heerema). In the last two months, I have made site modifications and other optimizations to improve that ranking, and I have had it […]
iDolatry
Monday, November 24th, 2003I am currently falling into the cult of mac. (don’t worry, Pavi says its his other religion too.)
If anyone wants to get me a new computer for christmas (or help out towards one) let me know. I’m taking donations :)
I could go into all the reasons… in fact I will later. But for now […]
Comics!
Tuesday, November 18th, 2003You all need to learn about RSS. It is the next wave of information sharing. You will see it as a desktop feature on the next version of windows. It will become a standard way of checking news, drastically impacting the newspaper and print magazine industry.
But for now I’m using to check […]
One of the most frustrating things for me is people who don’t use e-mail but say they do.
I found this excellent article that expresses very well some things you need to know about e-mail!
But I am probably preaching to the choir here. Anyway, here is an excerpt from the article:
Email is a […]
Amusing
Wednesday, November 5th, 2003Not only is this horribly written HTML… (actually it’s not HTML, it’s tag soup), but it is funny none the less.
I’m a geek.
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2003Okay, I’m a geek. I admit it. This dawned on me this morning when I found myself searching google for:
“valid xhtml wysiwyg textarea editors”
…hello, my name is Matt, and… I’m a geek…
