Pitfalls of Automatic Update Utilities
Usually I’m a proponent of Microsoft. I generally like their developmet tools, and enjoy writing in .NET because of all the useful things I can accomplish with it. But today they pissed me off a little bit. I was trying to figure out how to interface with Exchange Server...

Not much to report, just that I accidently removed the icon for the ADAL exe, so the last release went out without it. So if you really were attached to that awesome icon, you can go re-download ADAL. -Andrew...

Wow! What a creative title Andrew…where did you ever think of “Piano Test”? Yeah whatever, that’s what this was, a test of a keyboard that I’m borrowing from a cousin. What is it? 35 seconds of a bass and organ playing together. It’s yet another “proof of concept” song...
Stop-Motion Photography
Quite possibly the best stop-motion video EVER MADE!!!! I made a sample stop-motion video using the demo version of Stop Motion Pro (http://www.stopmotionpro.com/). In this short film, I present the classic case of penny versus counter. The protagonist (the penny), must overcome the antagonist (the counter), to find its...
