Visit there for more bag reviews. Introduction I recently purchased the Bomber Jacket Laptop Messenger bag from Levenger. I have been eyeing this bag for quite a while and when Levenger gave me a 20% off coupon with a recent order, I finally pulled ... http://www.jamiephelps.com/all/levenger-review I have posted about this on the Twitter several times, but I think some folks have missed it. If you follow me on Twitter, you might know I injured my knee almost a month ago. I was playing basketball (with kids two thirds my age) and stepped out to pick up ... http://www.jamiephelps.com/all/the-knee This Computer Information Technology degree has been interesting. Of course, the coursework has been interesting, but it's also been fascinating (dumbfounding at times) to watch the functioning of such a large institution as TCU is.

(Read a synopsis here.) I myself wasn't a very big fan (although I have gotten used to it), but today I stumbled ... http://www.jamiephelps.com/all/why-grubers-linking-method-wins This might sound like a strange question, but I'm honestly interested in the answer.

The way my prerequisites and course ... http://www.jamiephelps.com/all/am-i-entry-level I thought today - being New Year's and all - would be a great day to post some graphs of my Twitter usage. A huge amount of thanks goes to Damon Cortesi for his work on the Perl script that creates these stats and the Numbers template for creating the ... http://www.jamiephelps.com/all/twitter-stats This post is basically copy-pasted from Seth Dillingham's site with minimal alterations where appropriate. For my part, I'd like to add that this is the height of distaste. I was feeling Mike Lee when he said, "Who would steal from the Icon Factory?" Twitterific is a great little Twitter client for ... http://www.jamiephelps.com/all/77 This is an Applescript I whipped up over the past day or so to facilitate adding the currently playing or currently selected track(s) to one or more playlists.
