My fantasy baseball team over at Yahoo just drafted.  I can’t wait for the season to open!  With a team that includes Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez and Gary Sheffield from the Yankees, how can I go wrong?  I’m a Yankees fan — kinda caught the spirit after living in New York for a few years.  Although I don’t get to see as many games now (we mostly have the Marlins shown here), I try to catch what I can when I can.  I am sure to watch more this year having 3 guys on my fantasy team.

My husband was away recently on a business trip to the other coast.  While he was away, I stayed up later than usual since I wasn�t sleeping well anyway.  During my late nights, I stumbled across The Colbert Report on Comedy Central.  It only took one show to get me hooked.

Website owners now have the opportunity to be more hands-on and reduce the need to hire a web designer to make minor site updates. The latest release of the Geeklog content management system includes FCKeditor, an open source HTML text editor.

The editor is similar in nature to common word processing applications. Each text box has a java-based toolbar immediately above it. The toolbar provides the ability to control text formatting (bold, italic, color, size, alignment) and also gives users the ability to insert images, tables and horizontal lines. Other features include adding/removing hyperlinks, copy/paste from Word (with cleanup) and undo/redo buttons.

My local PetsMart recently started carrying the BugBox crickets from BugCo. They are pricier than buying them in a crate and I am not sure if there are really 25-30 bugs in each box, but they are convenient. I stop by the store on the way home and open the box right in the cage. The bearded dragons bat the box around waiting for the crickets to brave the opening. Check out the video to see how the BugBox works.

The much anticipated release of Geeklog 1.4.0 is finally here. I’ve been running the release candidates and have been pleased with the new features and encountered very few bugs. Now, after much testing, the Geeklog folks have released the final (stable) version of 1.4.0.
