Think you’re good at video games? Maybe it’s time you went up against Brice Mellen of Lincoln, Nebraska. What makes Brice so special? He’s blind.
Blind since birth due to Leber’s disease, Mellen sharpened his skills for many years through patience, memorizing key joystick operations, and listening to audio cues. Beginning with […]

Of Course I Can Walk on My Hind Legs…..

Posted by Juicio on July 29th, 2005

I just choose not too.
Continuing the ongoing saga of my page header, I have now added back paw prints to the puppy walking across the screen. Thanks for all the great comments and feedback. Let me know if you have any other ideas.
Also, on an interesting note, the picture in the header is […]

Perhaps You Have Insecurity Issues…

Posted by Juicio on July 29th, 2005

Yesterday, Microsoft Corporation launched a new program designed to prevent people from updating pirated versions of software. According to InformationWeek, Microsoft estimates that about 12 million machines in the United States and 13 million in China run illegal copies of Windows XP. In order to crack down on this problem, they have created […]

War of the World’s Maps

Posted by Juicio on July 27th, 2005

Microsoft is at it again. Trying to keep up with Google, they just launched their own map website, Visual Earth, to compete with Google Maps. It is interesting to see how Google defines the direction the web will be going and it will be neat to see how the competition between the two […]

3,2,1…. Again!

Posted by Juicio on July 25th, 2005

Update (July 25th, 2005, 11:15am): Woohoo! Discovery has successfully launched and is currently on route to the International Space Station. Yay NASA!
Currently, Cincinnati is sweltering at 95 degrees with a heat index of 107. Even my pup, Storm, doesn’t like to go outside. It’s going to be about the same, tomorrow, for […]

Rovegate

Posted by Juicio on July 25th, 2005

When I first started this site, I did not plan on putting political news coverage on here. There are many more sites that do a better job. I was surprised this weekend, however, that very few of my friends and family knew what was going on with the Karl Rove scandal. Truthfully, […]

If you build it, they will come.

Posted by Juicio on July 25th, 2005

I spent some time cheezing out the site a little more. At Scot Buzza’s request, I re-did the header so now it had both people footprints and puppy pawprints. Also, I created an archive page for all the clips that I link to. If you have any recommendations, let me know.

Wicked Crazy Space Videos

Posted by Juicio on July 23rd, 2005

Some very cool eye candy has surfaced lately from those who brought us Apollo 11 and Voyager. NASA recently ran some tests aboard their Glenn DC-9 aircraft to see what would happen if you popped a water balloon in zero-gravity. The videos are really cool and the researchers get soaked as the plane […]

Slew of Cool Stuff

Posted by Juicio on July 21st, 2005

I’m sorry that I haven’t put up anything for a while. After getting back from that wedding, my business mates expected me to ‘work.’ I know, I know, crazy. Anyway, here’s a buncha stuff to keep you entertained for a bit:
Google Maps, Google Maps, Google Maps: Google Maps has been the […]

Cool Kentucky Wedding
