Seeing Things
So, democratic presidential hopeful Dennis Kuchinich is apparently seeing things. Or, I should say, he saw things like a UFO while visiting Shirley MacLaine a while ago. While I’m not going to weigh in on whether or not ET exisits (Graces movie of the moment by the way), I am going to go out on [...]
Happy Howloween!
we’ve dressed our dogs up before, and I honestly believe they don’t like it. I know I don’t…
Merry Christmas Marines!
Last year, Neal Boortz and his listeners sent over 1200 christmas stockings to Marines stationed in Iraq. This year he’s poised to do the same except they’d like to give more. If you can, visit the page and contribute. Make someone’s holiday a holiday to remember.
Amie Street Wednesday – The Clumsy Lovers
Not sure how true their name is but these guys are fun to listen to. For the Halloween ASMW I decided to go with something really fun and up beat, hence The clumsy Lovers. Hear in your head a moment, the songs of BNL (Barenaked Ladies). One week, its all been done, brian wilson, if [...]
Who will take the card??
About a week ago, I had the idea to have a contest. The person with the most comments by November 1st is going to receive a $30 gift card to Amazon.com. Sabriena had been posting like crazy and was in the lead until Joana found out about the contest. Now she’s been burning up the [...]

Flag Flap?
Cheney was busy hunting over the weekend and the Rev. Al sharpton was busy trying to gain more air time and exposure lashing out at the VP for hunting at a “private” club where there may have been a Confederate flag hung on a wall in a garage on the property. If Dick wants to [...]
Crazy, Crazy dog
We have three dogs. Two beagles we’ve had since they were puppies (they’re both eight now) and earlier this year we added a sheltie to the mix. Lumiere could be a good dog if he could not be such a spazz. If I let him out in the back yard, he runs in circles barking [...]
Growing Older
Saturday was a sad day. Well, not really, but it made me feel a year older. Grace turned four. Its hard to believe that at 7:21pm on October 27th, 2003 I became a father. Even harder to believe is that since then we’ve had another child, added a dog, bought a house and I’ve changed [...]

I’m in the process of starting a bi-monthly online tech magazine geared towards Operating Systems. I’m currently looking for people interested in contributing articles to the site. Contributors who have articles published will be compensated when their article is published on the site. For more information, please contact me.
Contests Abound
I’ve recently decided that online contests are cool (we’re running one here if you haven’t heard…). There are blogs dedicated to contests. Some are blog related (make a post on your blog, win a prize) some are comment related and some are video contests. I haven’t gotten in to the realm of videos yet (at [...]
Scary Costumes
When I was in High School, I dressed up and went as President George HW Bush (the current president’s father). I had a pretty good imitation voice for him too. I ended up with a ton of candy. Since then, every president has had a mask made of them for halloween (after all, who wouldn’t [...]

Grandfathered in
It sat in the hallway. Nestled between a coat rack and a table full of trinkets my grandparents had collected through out the years. Every fifteen minutes its melodious notes would ring out reminding us that the time we had was slowly drifting away like a toy boat out on the current of the creek [...]
Major Throwdowns!
In college we’d have a party every thursday night called Thirsty Thursday. It was a rockin time even though we were on a supposedly dry campus. Our RA would be busy that night and he’d keep the other ra’s off the floor for us (or let us know when they were making there rounds). It [...]
Three Must See Shows
I was bummed when NBC didn’t pick up the sleeper of last season, Studio 60. I was a little more bummed when Fox dropped Standoff. I thought both of those shows were the stand outs from last season (I never understood the attraction to heros and I still don’t other than Hayden and now Kirsten [...]
Cyber-rain?
I’ve blogged a lot lately about the lack of rain (except for this week for some reason) in the Atlanta area due to the drought. The problems of the drought have pretty much caused my lawn and gardens to transform from something I could be a little happy with to brown and crackly messes that [...]
Global Warming Errors?
Recently, there was a row in the UK over the Government requiring schools to show Gore’s farce of a movie about Global Warming. It actually went to court and a Judge in the UK found that it had at least nine falsehoods in it. There’s an interesting review of the movie at the Science and [...]
Tied-up
A couple of days ago I mentioned in a post that Hillary was trying to ear mark some money ($1,000,000 to be exact) for a museum commemorating Woodstock. This week while she was Busy celebrating her birthday with fundrasing parties, Senator McCaine was busy celebrating the 40th anniversery of his capture by North Vietnamese forces. [...]
Those Crazy democrats
It looks like it could happen again. There’s an interesting article on Reuters today about the possibility of the Democrats being too confident. We saw it previously with Howard Dean. He was the sure thing and he imploded. Could Hillary and other Dems do the same? Maybe. A recent election in Mass. has republicans giddy [...]
Thursday Thirteen #9 – 13 sites I hit every day…
Thirteen sites I visit EVERY day!!In no particular order… LinuxTracker – One of the sites I run. I visit it for two reasons, one to make sure its still running and two, to see what cool linux distributions are being shared today. UserFriendly I love this web comic more than any of the others. Mostly [...]
Help for those who need it
There’s a quote (I believe its from a Beatles song) that goes, “I get by with a little help from my friends”. Well, the Hispanic business community is getting a little help these days from a relatively new business networking site, Questamente. Questamente is a bi-lingual (spanish and english) networking site geared towards helping hispanic [...]
Imap for Gmail!
w00t! The Guys at gmail announced on the Gmail Blog that they’re in the process of rolling out Imap support to all gmail users. FREE (as in beer!) This is cool if you use multiple devices to check your mail. Now you can have it look the same across everything. In the words of David [...]
Going to Vegas?
Anyone who’s familiar with PayPerPost knows that they have a big convention coming up in Vegas with in the next two weeks. The PPP crew is piling in to an RV and making a trip out starting next week and they’ve already got a large group of posties going out there for the convention. Its [...]
Less than a month to Disney
My father decided to do something fun with the remainder of the estate from my grandfather and we’re all going to Disney World for thanks giving. 5 days in the magic kingdom with the family. Should be a good time. The girls (grace more than emma) will love it. We have a whole series of [...]

Too old?
I like Fred Thompson. Seriously I do. I think he’s a good actor, he was a good senator and I think he would have made a hell of a president 15 years ago. However, I think he’s too old (look at the photo… another year or two he could stand in for Emperor Paliptine from [...]

With out a doubt, WordPress is one of the most popular blogging platforms around. Its free. Its fairly easy to use and customize and there are a ton of plugins for use with it. Now, going one step farther, there’s a book for those of us who are less than technically inclined. WordPress For Dummies [...]
