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.

It required about an hour of […]

 
A most amazing band, Gaelic Storm (think Celtic Rock Pub Band) came to Sierra Vista and got us clapping our hands, stomping our feet, and working up a terrible ‘tirst’. A thirst we quenched with the band after the concert at a local bar.
So who is this Gaelic Storm?
Since its inception nearly ten years ago, […]

I’ve always hated extra stuff in my wallet, and club cards are one of the biggest culprits of wallet clutter, yet you need them to get the good sales!So when I saw LifeHacker.com’s article on this great website www.justoneclubcard.com, I grabbed my wallet, and Mrs. SANH’s keys (which are loaded with mini-club-cards), and added our […]

I was intrigued by the books my loyal readers posted in the comments section of yesterday’s post on reading books. So I looked them up online, and thought I’d read some excerpts. They say: “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” but I have with regularity judged a book on a single paragraph. Though rarely […]
