I have been to Disneyland so many times. Its a fun place to go and just get away from it all. Despite how many time I have gone, I aways see something new.

On one of my trips I decided to have a little fun and put together a Treasure Hunt. I have seen a few online, but thought I get creative and walk around the park looking for little things that people may not notice.

Download the Disneyland Treasure Hunt. Oh, if you want the solution, you'll have to email me your answers.

One of the most famous highways in New Hampshire is the Kancamagus Highway. This is a great highway that goes in the valleys of some mountains and has spectacular views. The wild life views are great too, as Bears and Moose are usually seen along the river that parallels the highway.

The market was at 11,722 when George W. Bush took office on January 20, 2001. If the market continues at this pace, this will be the first time in history that the NYSE will be lower when a president leaves office than when he came in.

While doing some testing earlier this year I needed a list of addresses to test a map functionality. I wanted a good sample of addresses so that I could test if the map would be working for customers.

I put together a list of 20 companies from different areas of the country to use as testing. I had this list on my cubical for a couple of months during testing so that I could easily find an address when I needed it. If your doing any testing, you might find this list in handy.

Download the list of Business Addresses for testing.

Walt Disney really had a good idea in building Disneyland, its a fun place to be and its a great place to go to get away from the working every day.

To keep people come back every year, Disneyland makes minor changes in the park. Some of the changes are technology updates, such as updating Tomorrowland to focus on Mars and not the Moon. Other updates are to promote the movies such as Pirates of the Caribbean and the Little Mermaid. (I don't like the update to the Tiki Room, I think they should have let the birds sing their songs. If anything they could have turned it into a restaurant as what the original Imagineers wanted.)

Regardless of the changes, the old favorites are still around at the Disneyland. Space Mountain is still the same ride as it was when the park first opened, and you can count on 999 happy haunted over by the mansion in New Orleans Square. Yes, its a place of old and new faces, which makes it enjoyable to visit year after year.

Download the 2004 Disneyland Map and see how much has changed over the past 4 years.

When testing some software functionality, I found it very useful to do randomize testing. That is...don't just perform repeat testing don't just do the same thing over and over again..

I created a Random Press Release generator which comes in handy testing applications and for demonstrating an application. I created the application out of a need to show random press releases in a press release listing. Seeing the same press release over and over again makes it hard to show the functionality of the software.

If you do any software testing it might be handy to use the Random Press Release Generator. You never know what bugs might be found in your application.

When I was taking a lot of trips in California, I would record what I planned to do and what I actually did. For example, if I was planning to goto Hollywood for a weekend, I would write down things I wanted to do. I decided it would be easier to create a one page daily planner to see how much time I have to do the things I wanted to do.

I found it easy to take the daily planner with me on these trips so that I could record information. Such as how much does it cost to park at the parking lot next to Mann's Chinese Theater? I was also easy to track expenses on business trips/

Download the Daily Vacation Planner and see if its something that you could use to organize you vacation day.

Cosi Restaurant is a great place to go to get a nice healthy lunch, definitively a better alternative to going to Burger King or McDonalds. They are famous for their salads and flat bread.

When I was working in Washington, DC, I enjoyed going to the Cosi near the White House, 1700 Pennsylvania Ave. The food was great, the staff is very friendly and quick. You can expect fast service and excellent food!

I think being at 1700 Pennsylvania Ave is a great location for any restaurant. Obviously its great being near the White House, but did you know that its also near the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund‎? So you never know who might be sitting next to you.

Download the Cosi Menu and start making your lunch plans now!
