July 30, 2008 - A couple of great vids.
Hey Cubies, I'm such a rock star that I don't have time to update my site very often, common problem among
programmers. Here is a little diversion for ya', I've been back into a little harder music lately, so here are
some links to some Slipknot videos:
Psychosocial
Before I Forget
Wait and Bleed
Enjoy!
May 23, 2008 - Starbuckers
For those of you who love sociology this is a great take on a group of people many run into on a daily basis, if you ask me, Starbucks deseves them.
May 16, 2008 - New Site Activity
I read somewhere that if you are not going to update your personal web site for a while it is polite to put up a post saying so. Well, I didn't
do that because I did not know I was going to space-off my site for 2 straight months. WOW ! Anyway, I'm doing it nowwith another link to some great
Firefox addons, I really like the
flippy screen tab effect the the PicLens addon, you'll have to read up on the PicLens, I'm still figuring it out. The flippy tab thing works but I
think I'm going to disable it as I've had it on for about a month and I get it, it's cool, I'm not. Try them out, drop me a line and let me know
what you think. Go to my JoeCubicle product page and by a t-shirt.
Feb 22, 2008 - Email Page *** NEW FEATURE ***
Look over to the left and you might just see a new link to the 'Email' page. If you follow the link you will have the opportunity
to send me an email (me being Joe Cubicle). Do so and let me know what you think, about anything.
Feb 22, 2008 - Video Lectures on 'Ted'
I (re)found a site the other week... Ted.Com, there are a number of really interesting lectures available
for viewing. They are interesting and entertaining in the same. Their tag line is: Inspired talks by the world's greatest thinkers and doers.
I ran across this site a while back and was interested and vowed I'd go back and check it out more thoroughly, well I finally did when I saw a link
to a certain lecture. For a fun 'lecture' I suggest watching Mathmagic, that guy is a nut! Cube Power!
Feb 21, 2008 - Last night's eclipse
I hope you all got to see the lunar eclipse last night, I did. I wanted to shoot a little video but couldn't find the dang tripod
and the dang little scewy-ony thing that attaches a camera to the tripod. I filmed it anyway and I won't abuse anyone enough to upload that
video. Btw... Saturn herself was very clear and easy to see with the unclothed eye and I did get that on video. I really need to find the tripod, I've
got two video gigs next week.
Feb 16, 2008 - A little site redesign
Tonight I had a little site reorganization, no biggie, main change is all the cool web-stuff in under the Sites, Links & Utilities page.
Feb 15, 2008 - The day after
Not too much goin' in here, I'm currently trying to get the email sign up text box and submit button working but am having some trouble.
I've used MS Access before and know how to get that going but I'm going to get SQL Server working if it kills me. So look for that functionality
to be working in the near future. It's down there on left, it doesn't work yet.
Feb 13, 2008 - A couple new additions.
I put up a few additions to the UsefulSites page:
- A nice grouping of PhotoShop tutorials.
- A decent article on PC/Laptop security.
- A link to a Wikipedia page with TONS of open source applications.
- And a link to a batch file renamer, everyone needs one of those.
- Enjoy!
Feb 02, 2008 - History & Future of the Cubicle
I found a great article on the history of the cubicle. I take it that the 'Father' of the cubicle is man named Herman Miller.
The article is named: Cubicles: The great mistake. There is lots of good and
interesting information in it. It is hosted on CNN's money site.
Here is the link to the article.
Jan 29, 2008 - Will Ferral and John McEnroe video
If you are a true fan of the wacky and insane Will Ferrol you will love this video. And yes, I know that I don't know how to spell Will Ferril's last name.
While you're there watching the funny video (what other kind of video is there on the internet?) cruise around Trend Hunter.
Jan 29, 2008 - Arrrrrgghhh
Anyone ever feel like the guy in the middle cube? I'm not saying I do or have, I'm just sayin'.
Jan 16, 2008 - YouTube Video Editing commercial produced and uploaded

Jan 05, 2008 - YouTube Claymation
Here is a little project Audrey (my daughter) made a day or two before or after Christmas day, actually I think we did it ON Christmas day. Audrey and Nathan were playing with clay that Nathan got. We whipped out the digital camera and the tripod and shot about 30 pics of the clay character that Audrey made. I just did the slideshow and put the music and credits to it. I use Adobe Primiere Elements, and it uses me. Then we put it on YouTube.
Jan 01, 2008 - Happy New Year
So far we are having the coldest day of the year but seeing that it is the first day of the year that is not such a
huge feat. But really, today is very cold. Here in Omaha NE we had our first murder of the year just two hours into the new year,
heard that one on the news this morning. I am still on vacation for 6 more days till I return to the cube, in a strange way I kinda miss it.
The mark of a true cubie, we actually like it in a wee small way.

The site is still evolving and growing so please hang with me, and please ignore any 'nor ipslum ad ignitum' stuff.
First Update
Joe Cubicle is finally up on the web. I had this URL registered many years ago and did nothing with it and forgot to re-register the domain name. Well that was dumb!! A few weeks ago I was looking at domain names and saw that it was still taken (Friday). The following Monday morning I was checking again for what reason I do not know… and it was AVAILABLE! So here it is. Good things come to those who are dumb and wait.
