Just a quick photo post of my two favorite people. Thanks to Ty Holland for the photo.

As a follow-up to Monster!, I thought I’d point out that people keep telling me that two-year-olds are too young to be finding monsters. Great! Except Owen doesn’t agree. Here, I’ll show you-

See? Okay, so he looks like a monster. But he dashed down the hall, and sprayed all the dark corners where monsters might […]

Per the traditional “State what you are thankful for..” ritual, I thought it only natural to include that here. 
I am thankful for friendship, for people in my life that choose to spend time with me, that enjoy my company, and manage to laugh at my jokes. I am thankful for having such a broad range of […]

You’ve been banging out that term paper, business plan or book chapter in Microsoft Word for weeks now, and you want to get back into it right where you left off yesterday. After you open the document, hit Shift+F5 to zip straight back to the location of the last change you made. Handy!

Tivo and other commercial DVRs have some great functionality. But Tivo, and some of the DVRs offered by cable or satellite companies have a monthly fee, require phone lines, and have limited configurability.

To all of the brave and honorable men and women who serve and have served in this Great United States Armed Forces, I express my deepest thanks. Your sacrifice, blood, sweat, tears, and exerted efforts make this country a safe and free place to live. One day of recognition could never repay our debt to […]

Crap!
I had read Heather’s comments on OhMyStinkingHeck’s Wordpress Wednesday about using either the Wordpress built-in editor, or a local application, like Dreamweaver. But NEVER both.

Back in California, I found this lovely sewing machine table, missing its machine. After a quick summation that my antique sewing machine was not compatible, we relegated this piece to a bedside table in our guest room. Until I was struck by the thought that our printer might fit inside.

It required about an hour of […]
