The future of Harry

So I like to think that the way Rowling ended the series leaves it open to other authors to come in and pick up where the 7 books left off. There certainly is room to do so (what, with the last chapter being 19years after the fall of Voldemort…). I think further proof of this [...]

What a Vista?

Three weeks ago I took the plunge and upgraded my laptop from Windows XP (I have an ubuntu install on there as well) to Windows Vista Ultimate in order to check it out and make sure it will work with the software we use here at work. After hearing about messy upgrades and the tightened [...]

Nice, crisp, clean

I’m not old (well, I’m 29…) and I have little use for their product, but its not their product I want to talk about. Value Stair Lifts has managed to make a nice, clean site that is easy to navigate and informative on their products. most businesses would be good to do the same. The [...]

New Crackberry

I had a nokia e62 and I loved it. Using mobile exchange, it would sync with the exchange server and sync my calendar, contacts and email as they changed. It was small, and light and it had an awesome battery life (it lasted for over 30 hours, 26 of which were spent on a barge [...]

Deathly Hallows

It came on Saturday. I wasn’t home, but fedex dropped it off anyway. We were out of town (we went to Charlotte, NC to see the Lion King, the play not the movie) but it was waiting for me when I got back. The lawn needed mowing and the girls needed to be put to [...]

So I did it. I ordered the last HP book from amazon last week, it will be at my house on Saturday. I’ve had several discussions with my siblings about how I think it will end and whether or not I think dumbledore is alive, harry will dye and if snape is truly evil (which [...]

Count the Calories, Track the Exercise

So I’ve been looking at online diet sites lately. Not because I need to loose weight (at 6’0″ and 130lbs, I could, as my sister puts it, eat a donut…) but because I bet that many of the diets that help people loose weight, would help me gain weight. Besides, if I start eating better [...]

Got Cart?

I’m in the preliminary stages of considering opening my own online store for backpacking gear. In addition to working out how to become a reseller for several of the manufacturers, I’ve been looking around at shopping cart software. The software offered by ashop is among the best I’ve come across so far, with a couple [...]

4th of July to Forget!

Some of my more avid readers (do I have any?) know by now that I do contract work for Melrose Pyrotechnics and a couple of other Professional Fireworks Companies (melrose is by far one of the best). I handle the Friday Night Fireworks for the Atlanta Braves games and shoot some other shows for them [...]
