How to use SQLite with Java
I have been coding in Java for a while now. I have also known about SQLite but never used it… Well I have have used it through other applications but never in an app that I coded. So I needed it for a project this week and its so simple use!
First I found the website of David Crawshaw who has a Java JDBC driver for SQLite. Just add his JAR file to your classpath and import java.sql.*

Multitasking is the fastest way to mediocrity →
I hate multitasking, I have never been good at it. But multitasking has always been proven to do more harm then good. I hate working multiple projects at the same time. Anything that is this complex requires my full attention… or maybe I’m just slow.

Can someone please explain to me why they apparently photoshopped out Gabrielle Anwar’s belly button in about half of the scenes it would have been visible in in the latest episode of Burn Notice?
It was way more obvious in video than it is in these stills. It’s not just lighting. It’s “what the fuck that woman has no navel.”

Yelp Shakedown
I have always liked Yelp but never really trusted the reviews. I use it more for finding restaurants in an area. I also like Urban Spoon to find places to eat. But I never knew Yelp asked for money from restaurants to create fake positive reviews and remove bad reviews. That’s ruining the whole sites rating system. Top search results and ratings should be control by the users who rate and...

15 Moments That Define a Relationship… Enjoy the ride down memory lane.
This is one of my favorite tricks to play on my friends who run windows. Change one of the shortcuts like firefox to target: C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe -s -t 0
The next time they click that shortcut it will shutdown the computer ;) Awesome! You know how long it will take for them to figure it out, haha.
