History of Mayo
Some questions just come up when you are sitting around the dinner table. Who invented Mayo? And why? And was he french? Well, thanks to the WORLD WIDE WEB we have our answers and here they are dudes.
Mayonnaise was invented in 1756 by the French chef of the Duc de Richelieu. After the Duc beat the British at Port Mahon, his chef created a victory feast that was to include a sauce made of cream and eggs. Realizing that there was no cream in the kitchen, the chef substituted olive oil for the cream and a new culinary creation was born. The chef named the new sauce "Mahonnaise" in honor of the Duc's victory.

Free Mac OSX USB WiFi drive
Hello MAC users.
If you are like me you can't stand giving up your old PowerBook G3 (Bronze), but this is a wireless world now so here is the story of "The book is back".
Once upon a time there was a old PowerBook it was very wise, but was not able to take advantage of the new cool Internet applications. Then one day a poor Windows XP user came upon the old and wise PowerBook and not knowing any better, like most windows users, he said "I will upgrade you ". So he to consult the oracle of commerce Amazon and began searching for the mythical Mac OSX that he had heard so much about, the Great OSX was credited with so much good in the world and he knew it would be able to help the old PowerBook.Enough of the fairy tale.
So here is what happened.
1. found a copy of Mac OSX on Amazon for $60.00
2. installed it and it worked first time out.
3. then started to look for a WiFi solution, this is when it started to get costly and being a poor Windows user I began to look for a free solution.
And I did, we had a Netgear MA111 USB and I located a Mac OSX wifi compatibility list with info about my card and said to use the Dlink DWL-122 1.4.7 Drivers and guess what they worked and best thing is they were free.
And they lived happily ever after . .

Dust bunnies are a superior life form. . .
I vacuumed the today living room with the new wide vacuum attachment for wood floors (I even used the crevasse tool) I was sure that I got all of the dust creatures, so I began to put the ShopVac away for the day when out of the corner of my eye I saw them, rolling out into the middle of the room like those tumble thing's from old western films, they were mocking me I could see them smiling and hear them giggling. Thats when I knew it was them or me, I grabbed my ShopVac and began my quest to rid society of theses lonesome creatures. They fought valiantly as one after another fell as they were consumed by my technological superiority, there numbers once in the thousands were now just a few brave souls holding out for nothing more then honor.
