Back
I moved my site hosting to a new account and it looks like that fixed the site not working for a few weeks. I’m still not sure why it wasn’t working right, but it’s good to have it back.
I still don’t have a lot of time ot write, but maybe having things functional again will give me some motivation in that direction.
New Store
I’m testing this out. Let’s see how it works.

I have seen the future of the web and it is shiny [UPDATED]
Web 2.0 is here. Sure, it’s the future of the Internet, but since the Internet waits for nobody, we need to deal with this wonderful future technology now.
Lucky me! A job offer.
The world must know about me now. I’m getting job offers from companies I haven’t even sent an application. Heck, I’m not even looking for a job, being rather happy with my current employment circumstances.
A Few Good Books
James Lileks is one of the funniest writers around. His sense of humor is a bit weird, but he’s always got a great take on the mundane as well as the ridiculous. His daily Bleat blog (www.
Everyone Has a Dream
I saw this on the Today Show this morning.
This site is run by a guy who is pretty clear about his dream: http://www.deadbodyguy.
Got Penguins? Put a Pool in Your House!
I always thought that only rich people with huge homes had pools in their homes. I was incorrect. Imaginative people who want a habitat for their pengiuns also have them.
Dr. Seuss Research Yields Green Ham
What do you get when Taiwanese researchers cross pig embryos and jellyfish DNA? Green-glowing pigs! BBC News reports.
I know you’re thinking that if pgis can be made green, eggs can’t be far behind. Easter tradition and the folks at PAAS (Happy 125th birthday!) had that one covered years ago.
The Train! The Train!
A train that travels at 502KPH. That’s over 311MPH! I imagine getting caught at a railroad crossing would ruin not only your day, but everyone on the train’s as well. I knew that maglev technology was progressing, but not this far.
Learn How to be a Ninja
With a t-shirt and a little attitude, you, too can be a Ninja. Enjoy that Ninja lifestyle and, of course, kick a little ass if you are so disposed. You’re a Ninja after all.
Wallets: I Duct the Issue
I wanted to wait until after the holidays were over to avoid anyone who saw this and had gift ideas.
Never give a man a wallet as a gift. Just don’t do it.
A Fun Way to Get IP Addresses
If you’re looking for an interesting way to find out your IP address, IP Vegas has it. Visit that site and your IP address will show up on a Las Vegas style slot machine. It looks like a free ad-supported site.
Something Else I Don’t Need
As I cruise the Information Highway I see lots of stuff. Some of it is pretty useful and other things leave me scratching my head and wondering, “Why?”
I’ll let you guess where I stand on the following product.
It’s called the VroomBox and claims to make your plain old boring car, their example is a Toyota Sienna minivan, sound like something a bit more powerful and exotic, say a Lamborghini V12 or Shelby Cobra.
OK, so I took a week off…
I love writing this site. And I appreciate the feedback from my friends and family who visit. I kind of wish more people would visit and leave comments, but I’ll get to that in a minute.
Check Your Stats, You Might Be Missing Something
The say that Google page rank is everything on the Internet these days, and that getting it is somewhat of a black science. I don’t write these pages with any particular page ranking in mind. Since “Lars Vargas” is a fairly uncommon name, I tend to rank pretty high (usually at the top) when searched in Google.
Feeling Like a Flake? Draw one!
I grew up in the snow. I had to shovel snow. I don’t like snow.
