How to replace a headlight bulb in a Honda Accord
How to Replace a Headlight Bulb in a Honda Accord
I just followed their instructions to fix my wife’s headlight (after she got pulled over and warned about it). So, I thought I’d give credit where credit’s due. Thanks, eHow!
Irrelevant information leads to memory loss
So this is what happened to me! :) But seriously, I think it lends credence to the theory that mindlessly browsing the Internet makes you stupid. It’s almost as bad as mindlessly watching TV.
PLLLLEEEAAASSSEEE REEAADDD! IT WAS ON GOODMORNING AMERICA
Its a very old hoax. Anything with a headline like that and mentioning Microsoft, AOL and Good Morning America in the same email almost HAS to be a hoax these days, and this one is.

A couple of things
First, have you checked out Tara’s newly-designed blog?! It looks great! And I’m not just saying that because she’s my wife. Well, not entirely, anyway. But seriously, it looks good. Here’s the link: http://tarasfaves.com/
And on a completely unrelated subject, the following pretty much explains our stand on the whole “gay marriage” issue:

Free Net Project
This looks interesting though I haven’t installed it yet:
I’ll update this article with my review, good or bad.
UPDATE: Already uninstalled. I just don’t see the benefit of it unless you live in China or Sudan, etc. (repressive regimes), or you’re into pirating software, etc.
Then again, it might become necessary if Joe Lieberman and others get their way in locking down the Internet.

Stupid online chat I just had with Sprint support
12:32:39 PM : Bill Holmes: Initial Question/Comment: Your online form won’t let me change my contact info. It keeps saying “Oops, something’s broken” or whatever, never telling me what I’ve done wrong. I filled out all the required fields.
12:32:44 PM : Vicki K has joined this session! Thank you for contacting Sprint. My name is Vicki K.
12:33:01 PM : Bill Holmes: Hello
12:34:14 PM : Vicki K: Hi Bill . I am sorry for the inconvenience you have faced during creating a online account.
12:34:43 PM : Bill Holmes: I’m not creating an online account. I’m trying to update that info. I’m getting this error: Oops. Something happened. Give us some time while we drag out the toolbox and fix the problem.
12:35:31 PM : Bill Holmes: This is the page in question: https://mysprint.sprint.com/mysprint/pages/…
Good Search
Use them as your search engine, and they give to charity:

Cool feature just discovered on Google Translate
I got an error in a program that was in some foreign language I didn’t even recognize, let alone understand. I went to translate.google.com and typed in one of the words and chose “Detect language” in the “Translate from..” box. It told me that word was Danish. Look here: http://translate.google.com/#sv|en|bogstaver.
Amazing! I thought so, anyway. :)
Net neutrality needs your help TODAY
I don’t like John Kerry, but who cares? We need to save the internet from the corporations.

McDonald's wi-fi
In Nashville, anyway, it seems you can get around their proxy system (those outlets that use it), simply by using Google Chrome and maybe Firefox. It might be as simple as using any browser other than Internet Explorer.
Using Internet Explorer, I tried to be a good boy and sign up for a “free” account. The only problem is that you have to put in your email address, they send you a confirmation, and you have to click on that verification link in your email. They didn’t stop to realize you don’t have internet access yet in order to GET your email. Retarded. Don’t tell Sarah Palin I used that word. 
Anyway, you might get by with other browsers just fine without signing up.
