I thought it was just me…

Sunday, August 27th, 2006

I got bombarded with comment spam over the last 24 hours and was kind of wondering what was going on. Finally catching up with my feeds, I saw that Scoble was having the same problems with spam. It looks like Akismet (the Automattic/Wordpress spam filter) was down (and now, back up).

Wow, [...]

I may have found a new passion in life…

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006

You know I have a love for burritos, but everything changes over time.

I have officially started my quest for the perfect (Mexican-style) taco.

I’m talking a straight-up steak taco with cilantro, onions and maybe a lime wedge or two.

There will be no lettuce. There will be no cheese. There will be no asking me, [...]

I actually did something nice today

Monday, August 21st, 2006

Ever since I won an Xbox 360 from work earlier this year, my original Xbox has been sitting on the floor of my office.

Every once and a while I would trip over it and think to myself that I should really do something with it. After several months, I started thinking that [...]

marusin.com: going back to school edition

Monday, August 21st, 2006

The family went up to Michigan for the weekend and while on the drive home, we saw tons of kids that appeared to be driving back to school. This prompted a conversation between Liz and I about how much different things are today (compared to the ‘olden days ~ ie: 10 years ago).

If you [...]

Friday, August 18th, 2006

Anyone that has listened to Steve Dahl in the past and is reading this “live” (~3:24pm CST on Friday August 18, 2006) might want to either flip on 105.9 FM (that is if you’re in the Chicago area) or hit the live stream on dahl.com…

Steve’s old co-host, Garry Meier, is live on the air with [...]

and then there were snakes…

Friday, August 18th, 2006

Years from now I will be able to tell my children and grandchildren that I was there. There was a point that I didn’t think I was going to make it with a meeting and drinks going long, but I headed directly to the theater with 15 minutes to spare for the World Naperville [...]

What’s your favorite podcast?

Monday, August 14th, 2006

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… Croncast rules.If you’re not listening, there’s no better time to start than now. What’s in it for you, you ask? How about a brand new iPod (along with one for me)?  Click the image below and enter yourself in a contest. [...]

coachKidsSports.com

Friday, August 11th, 2006

With all of the craziness that has been going on lately, I haven’t had a chance to mention my friend John’s new website -> coachKidsSports.com

I think between John’s passion for his kids and sports, this site is going to be awesome. He has a lot of great ideas and I am really interested to [...]

Hi.

Friday, August 11th, 2006

It’s been a crazy week or two in the marusin(.com) household.  There are lots of things that I’m not ready to get into (yet), but I kind have been feeling like Stretch Armstrong these days.

I’m going to try and record a podcast this weekend to help me catch up on things, but in the meantime [...]

Is Bloglines working for you?

Monday, August 7th, 2006

This is not my month (or should I say, summer) for online RSS aggregators..

Bloglines has been acting really wonky for me the last couple of days. Feeds being updated are very sporadic (that is if they even update).

Anyone else in the same boat or once again, is it just me? :) If [...]
