The Tax Man Cometh…

Its slowly sneaking up on me. That most hated of days. No, Valentines day has long come and gone, I’m talking about April 15th. Tax Day. The day that Uncle Sam comes and pillages the rest of my networth for what he didn’t get through out the year. Despite having the best intentions, I never [...]

In case you missed it (or alternatives to Earth Hour)…

If you’re a neanderthal like me, you might have missed Earth Hour tonight. At 8:30pm local time, people all across the world were either sitting in the dark in the belief that Global Warming is actually something real or (like me) going about their business, blissfully ignorant of the damage they were (and most likely [...]

When it rains…

Sometimes when it rains, it really, really pours. I don’t know if its the weather, the fact that we have a third bundle of joy due in a little under 7 weeks or just stress with the current situation of, um, everything, but it seems that this past week was just a rather long, tiring [...]

Ten people on Twitter you SHOULD be following…

It seems like everyother post I’ve done lately is about twitter. Well, thats because the world is atwitter with twitter. New stations (CNN, FOX, Local News), televisions shows (ET) and others are bringing up twitter or commenting about their twitter posts. I’ve been on twitter more and more lately (SocialScope is one of my most [...]

ASMW – Blue Girl

Holy Crap, its time for another Amie Street Music Wednesday. Sorry for falling asleep at the wheel. I discovered this week’s artist through an email Amie Street was kind enough to send me. Samantha Shelton‘s laid back vibe is one I like listening too. Reminds me of some of older classics that I like. Blue [...]

Find Celebrities on Twitter, the easy way

Between Tweepular (can’t talk about it yet), TweetDeck and SocialScope I’ve been spending a lot of time playing with twitter. One of the cool facets of the MicroBlogging is that normal people (like Gruntled) can catch glimpses into the psyche of celebrities like Ryan Seacrest. One of the downsides is that people think it also [...]

ASMW – Give Grace

In college a good deal of my time was spent writing term papers and essays at 4am on the day they were do. I was hyped up on Mt. Dew and CRANKING the Rusted Root as loud as it could go. This was when they had a very upbeat bohemian vibe to their music. Looking [...]

Its a Pandemic

II actually. I was out browsing the intarweb this morning as I happen to do cause I’m good like that, and I came across a Post @ Cromely’s World (which is a good source of world view from Seattle) on an online flash game I never heard of before: Pandemic II. I had played Desktop [...]

ASMW – Welcome Back Old Friend…

If you were a purveyor of this site previously (early last year?) you would have noticed my weekly postings on wednesday’s for Amie Street Music Wednesdays. Well, they made some changes to the player at Amie Street, so the old plugin wasn’t working and I wasn’t able to post. Until now. The Code has been [...]

26 Posts Later…

Somehow I missed it. 26 (27) posts ago I hit the 1,000 post mark on this blog. That’s quite a lot. If you look back at some of them, its pretty hard to see why I’m even bothering. Actually, if you look back at most of them, its pretty hard. Anyways here are a couple [...]

Mans Best Friend…

We’ve got three dogs. Two of them have been with Amy and I for almost 10 years now. Lucy was our first, she’s a bitchy little beagle with a crooked tail who (despite what Amy thinks) is a daddy’s girl, then we got Linus (pictured with Grace) a couple of months later. If you haven’t [...]

Are you a Pirate?

If you’ve been living under a rock lately (the past month) you might have missed the fact that The Pirate Bay has been on trial in Sweden for Copy Right infringement. The Pirate Bay trial brings up some interesting questions, but perhaps the one thats most important to my is whether or not a Bittorrent [...]

Jammin with Pepper

I’ve talked about making money on this blog before (don’t believe me, look at some of the related posts). It seems that one of the best ways is still paid posting, though I’m doing relatively little of that these days (I haven’t logged in to SocialSpark or PayPerPost in months). I am working though, on [...]

Adjusting Our Diet

A couple of weeks ago Amy was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes so we’ve been making some changes in our diets. I switched our E Mealz plan to the Points System which helps a little bit (cheaper then a diet pill that works) , but the problem isn’t her blood sugar after dinner (or lunch which [...]

Snow FTW!

I don’t know if you heard or not, but over the weekend, the Metro Atlanta area was treated to its first (only) big snow of the year. Yep, we had about 1/2 an inch in Kennesaw while other parts (athens) saw around 9 inches. Its odd, but it always seems to happen in march (in [...]
