Super-Technology.
Physics at its finest.
One of the biggest, most expensive science experiments of all time.
“Building a contraption like the LHC to find the Higgs is a bit like embarking on a career as a stand-up comic with the hope that at some point in your career you’ll happen to blurt out a joke that’s not only side-splittingly funny but also a palindrome.”
I heard about the LHC in the office for the first time this week. Yes, it’s true — I live in a black hole. Since Comcast is unwilling to supply cable to my house because it is one mile outside of their jurisdiction; and I simply loathe the idea of affixing a plastic bowl-on-a-pedestal to the roof of my house, I do not currently subscribe to television programming.

Well, since I’m not the world’s foremost expert on anything computer — or specifically, web — related, I’ve decided I’ll write a layman’s terms review of the newest Google exploit, the Web Browser.
Yes, folks, they’ve done it again. In their latest and greatest attempt at total web domination, Google has reached a new level of triumph… providing a cleaner, simpler, redeveloped transport vehicle for my favorite media mechanism: the internets. What does this mean to you and me? Well, that’s up to you at least partially. I can only tell you what it means to me: not much.
The Chrome browser means that I’ll have to preview this posting in 3 web browsers before it goes live to make sure the pictures look right, and that there are no html tags hanging out. It means that DE’s home page and all of its subsidiaries will need to have some plugins (or something???) updated so that our flash images show up. It means that if I try to log in to hotmail, I’ll be prompted to update my browser even though I just did…

Just in case you haven’t heard, Dynamic Edge co-owner and resident fitness guru, TIM NEIMAN traveled to New Hampshire this past weekend to compete at the annual Timberman Triathlon Festival, named the #1 “Must-do Triathlon Adventure” by Triathlete Magazine.
But, not to be mistaken with the throng of international superstars-turned-triathletes, Neiman didn’t hire a former Olympian to coach him through this race, which was three times the distance and pain of his last competition. He trained solo, spending long hours after a full day’s work running, biking, swimming and (I would guess) wincing in pain.

… Who would have thought (those of you who read my first couple of entries, that is) that you would ever be reading about me explaining something at least marginally technical to one of our clients?!?
We started testing out a new email program, called MyEmma, which allows us to generate and email newsletters to our subscribed clients at the end of June. Since then, we’ve really gotten the hang of this thing and are now implementing this email marketing for our clients. And who, do you think, is responsible for handling this all?? Exactly! Weird huh?

And there was much rejoicing…
Deb has been having a hard time seeing the videos on YouTube, which wouldn’t be a big deal except that on a somewhat regular basis, a rather hilarious YouTube will come around the office email system, and she’s just wondering what’s so funny.

Imagine a day when you open your email to find that all of your messages are from actual people that you know. No offers for prescription drugs, home loans or sexually explicit content, and no more sifting through mounds of trash to find the few messages you actually want to read…
… okay, so maybe that will never happen. But while eliminating all that junk mail may be impossible, there are a few things you can do to seriously limit the amount of spam you have to deal with in your inbox.
