Sunny Pictures
Yesterday was the best day weather-wise in Boston in over a half year, with temperatures reaching up into the 80’s and sunny blue skies all around. I spent the day nearly biking around the whole city (about 40 miles in total) and took a few photos. Check them out below (you might need your sunglasses […]
Today is the 111th Day of the Year
Today is the 111th day of the year, and as such marks the year being 1/3 over in my calendar. As the day of the birth of myself occurs in the last 32/33 days of the year, I write off the totality of those days as one massive holiday. So, what have I gotten accomplished […]
Today’s Biking Path Part 2
In a follow up to yesterday’s post showing my biking path here’s another Google map showing the route I took to get to an apartment on Winter Hill to watch the Sox-Yankees and Bruins-Canadians game last night (both of the good guys won). This second leg of my trip was another 15 miles, so in […]
Today’s Biking Path
Quick post to show ya’ll the trip I took today. Google says it was a bit over 15 miles, but the path drawn out is not exactly the path I biked but a relatively close approximation. Destination B on the map is the Fruit Center Marketplace at 10 Bassett Street in Milton. If you’re ever […]
My New Old Wheels
After my previous hiatus, I wanted to let everyone know what I’ve been up to the past few days before I stayed out of touch for too long. This past Tuesday, I purchased a used bicycle from Bikes not Bombs in Jamaica Plain and have been enjoying the great weather we’ve been having here in […]
Back Up and Running
Something happened overnight to my site and it was not accessible this morning. If you tried visiting here this morning and were denied, sorry. The issue seems to be fixed at the moment (knock on wood). I’m not sure if the issue was from wordpress or my theme or something else but I solved it […]
Social Coupon Savings
All over the internet we’re seeing the rise and enduring popularity of social network sites. Digg, myspace, facebook and other social networks are among the most trafficked sites on the web today. Yet, with most social networks you contribute content but receive little to no compensation for your time and effort. Not so with a […]
Worst Ad Ever
It’s times like this when you start wondering if Google Adsense is worth it: [Edit: Image removed but it was an ad for this guy.] Is it the worst ad ever? All I know is I feel dirty now. Damn you contextual advertising, this post was not positive!

Quick Apple Safari Tips
Did you know holding the control, alt/option, or command/apple keys while hovering over links in Apple’s Safari browser on Mac OS X brings up new options? For instance, holding control will bring up a menu (the ‘right click menu’) when you click on a link. Holding the alt/option key while hovering will download the linked […]

My Redirects to WWW Work!
Yes! A long time ago (in this galaxy, not one far away), after reading Daniel’s WWW or no-WWW? post I implemented an Apache redirect in my .htaccess file to redirect my non-www address to www.adampieniazek.com/. It worked, but all non-www addresses would redirect to my homepage instead of to each individual page (for instance, adampieniazek.com/about/ […]
The Final Two: An Update to My Final Four Picks
It’s time again for us to take a look back at my final four picks and see how they stack up now that we’re down to the last two teams. Last time we checked, 75% of my final four picks were still intact, with USC being the sole incorrect pick. Over the weekend, Kansas beat […]
My Celtics Playoff Tickets
About eight months ago I made a great decision, to buy Celtics half-season tickets. By my best estimates I went to about half of the regular season games I had tickets for but yesterday, the real reason I bought Celtics season tickets arrived in my mailbox: Yup those are my Celtics playoff tickets and nope […]
Why I Quit Smoking
I realized I was committing a slow, sad, drawn-out suicide, so in the second week of January of this year I quit. Cold turkey. Easiest thing I’ve ever done. Then three months later I quit my job at the cube farm and got to living. Whoever said quitters never win, never faced Big Tobacco. HT: […]
The Sun as Seen by the iPhone
So it was a very sunny day here in Boston and the sky was completely blue without any clouds. While playing with my dog outside I snapped this picture of the sun with my iPhone: Brilliant, eh? It’s amazing how that big bright exploding gob of gas fuels us, our planet and everything found on […]
eDropper: The Automated Entrecard Dropper
A few weeks ago, I joined the blogger community Entrecard. A few days later my blog set new records for highest traffic in a single day, according to both wordpress stats and awstats. WordPress stats: awstats: Clearly, this Entrecard site had tons of potential to be a huge source of quality traffic to my blog, […]
