A few weeks back I found myself over friend’s house playing poker and having a few beers. This household takes poker real seriously, so naturally we found ourselves playing on one of those green felt-covered poker tables you usually find in a casino.
At some point in the evening, after a number of drinks had […]

After discovering [mobile hotmail](http://trainque.com/index.php/2005/05/23/hotmail-light) I decided to put together a tiny little personal WAP portal at [mobile.trainque.com](http://mobile.trainque.com).
This web page, optimized for wireless phone and WAP devices currently includes MSN, Yahoo, Hotmail, Google Search, and Google Local. Use it to:
* read news
* read entertainment news
* get sports scores
* get financial news
* read email
* search the […]

Here’s a nice little trick for Hotmail users. Instead of managing your hotmail via [hotmail.com](http://hotmail.com), point your browser to [http://mobile.msn.com/hm/folder.aspx?](http://mobile.msn.com/hm/folder.aspx?) and log in with your hotmail username.
You will be redirected to a minimal hotmail page originally intended for mobile devices. That means no images, no ads, almost no styling, and none of that MSN […]

This past weekend I went to the movies twice (a rarity). I saw [It’s All Gone, Pete Tong](http://www.itsallgonepetetong.com/) and [Kung Fu Hustle](http://www.sonypictures.net/movies/kungfuhustle/site/). Here’s a little bit about each.
**It’s All Gone Pete Tong** tells the (supposedly) true story of the deaf dj Frankie Wilde. From IMDB:
Its All Gone Pete Tong is a […]

Hey… it’s been what, like a month with the old design? Time to do something new.
This theme is more tech-centric, usable, and relies on WordPress managing all static pages.
Thoughts welcome.
My latest fascination: GTDTiddlyWiki

I wrote about [TiddlyWiki](http://trainque.com/index.php/2005/03/01/tiddlywiki-version-2/) a while back. This particular version is a client-side wiki focusing on managing one’s own projects. It’s a single file and supports saving. I’m running it off my thumbdrive, and using it […]

So I found myself in CVS a few weeks back, shopping for a new toothbrush. It had been forever since I had a new one, and the current one was falling apart and leaving bristles in my mouth on a daily basis.
That’s when I realized how huge the tooth whitening solution industry had become. […]
