Just 30 Years Ago

January 25, 2022January 25, 2022 Carl RodakowskiRants

Everything on this 1991 sale page is now on your phone (for the most part)…. And who remembers those good ol’ days when you could spend hours in a Radio Shack, looking at the new stuff or planning your next world domination creation. Maybe it was just me… I really miss those days of Radio Shack, CompUSA, Circuit City, even Fry’s. It was just a lot of fun to wander around the isles looking at new stuff, planning an upgrade, or just seeing what people created. I love online shopping, and shipping is so much better than back then, but […]

Elon’s Kitty Invention

January 11, 2022January 18, 2022 Carl RodakowskiRants

Even I am impressed with Elon’s ability to create multi-use products. The thought to do something like this is amazing and a feat that many can’t surpass. P.S. The person who captured this image, does go on to state that the cats are well taken care of, have a heated house to live in, but much prefer this option during the day.

Working From Home

January 4, 2022January 19, 2022 Carl RodakowskiRants

I’m a huge proponent for working from home. Prior to my current job, for years I was a consultant and worked exclusively from home. When the pandemic thing hit, all those years of working in a home office flooded back. For me, it was a breath of fresh air. However, I’d also been more aware of how to function and interact with people from years of prior experience. Now days, it is even easier with technology — web cams didn’t exist like they do today (20 plus years ago). Heck the idea of Zoom, Teams, and other services like that […]

Amazing Human Body

April 16, 2017January 18, 2022 Carl RodakowskiRants

It takes your food seven seconds to get from your mouth to your stomach. One human hair can support 6.6 pounds. The average man’s penis is two times the length of his thumb. Human thighbones are stronger than concrete. A woman’s heart beats faster than a man’s. There are about one trillion bacteria on each of your feet. Women blink twice as often as men. The average person’s skin weighs twice as much as the brain. Your body uses 300 muscles to balance itself when you are standing still. If saliva cannot dissolve something, you cannot taste it. WOMEN Will […]

Face Lift!

October 18, 2016January 18, 2022 Carl RodakowskiRants

The website has gotten a face lift and an upgrade. I still have more work to do and lots of clean up, the typo’s and spelling errors are terrible. Since I’ve started to do some work on other WordPress sites, I thought it might be helpful to upgrade my own site to the format. I wasn’t sure at first but I’m actually liking the system more and more. Admittedly, that could simply be me getting to do something different for a change…

Ideas Abound And…

January 6, 2014January 26, 2022 Carl RodakowskiRants

I have a new idea for the site, one that seems fitting for me these past 10 years but alas, like so many, I haven’t the time or energy to work on it. I’ve started the rough sketch of my idea and keep dwelling on it but then that seems to be about as far as I can get. Perhaps this year will be different, I’d so much like to breath new life into my site. I miss it much, years ago you couldn’t pull me away from web design and playing with the latest new things when it came […]

A Website?

April 16, 2012January 18, 2022 Carl RodakowskiRants

I love my website, I really do. I love the look, the feel and the presence but with all the other social media out there – what do you do with a personal website? Well, that and trying to keep up with both – do I post this on Facebook, on Twitter, on my website? Heck with Dropbox and Google Docs you don’t even need a website to host files. I just don’t know what to do with my personal website right now so it sits a bit dormant. I still want to flesh out a few things which are […]

Alive and Kicking…

December 3, 2010January 18, 2022 Carl RodakowskiRants

It’s been over a year since I updated this area. I think I had a bug and just never the time to fix it. That hasn’t stopped me from updating the site, I am always trying to do new things and yesterday I added in some handy Facebook, Twitter and Lord of the Rings Online contact buttons on the footer of the main site. One of my big web goals this coming year is to redo the forums, I want to change their purpose a bit. But I have several other sites I work on, either mine or others and […]

Website Updated!

November 16, 2009February 4, 2022 Carl RodakowskiRants

I’ve finally gotten my site upgraded! It only took two years – the first 18 months was spent trying to find a look that I liked. That only ended when I realized, I already had a look I liked! My real goal was to just make it easier to maintain. Done! The site was transferred over to a brand new management system which I am more than pleased with. So far, there’s only a few minor new things as I am still working out a few bugs. I’ve gotten loads to clean up in lots of places and well … […]
