This is why I went 4-wheeling (by accident!) in foot deep snow: And this is why I have a sunroof, so I don’t have to open the car door and scare him away: And this is why I spent almost $2000 on a camera lens:

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog in pursuit of a white rabbit. The lazy dog opens one eye in a baleful glare, but soon goes back to sleep knowing that his dinner will be provided by the humans who care for him. Meanwhile, the white rabbit flees … Continue reading →

As previously mentioned, I recently acquired a Samsung NC-10 mini laptop. In the past 5 days, I have set it up to do the following: Surf the internet (duh) Play music with iTunes (1500+ songs) Play videos in iTunes (movies I own, and TV shows I’ve purchased from iTunes) Play … Continue reading →

“Cute and pretty” best sums up this movie. It is the story of Mr. Magorium and his magical toystore, and the days after he decides to depart and leave the store to Mahoney, the store manager. With Dustin Hoffman as Mr. Magorium and Natalie Portman as Mahoney, as well as … Continue reading →

I blame this on the boss. He went to Costco the other night, and came into the office the next day with an HP Mini 1000 “NetBook” which is basically a really tiny laptop. Now, I’ve been thinking about getting a similar one for a while, just contemplating that it … Continue reading →

Change is good. Change and a couple bucks will buy you a cup of “coffee” at Starbucks. But after the last few years, I think it’s time for change. Even more than change, I think hope is good. And right now, I think the biggest thing to come out of … Continue reading →

I’ve gotten far enough in my project to store all my DVDs on my media server that I’m getting to some of the older movies and … Continue reading →

I see dead people. . .

Breathing. Dead people on TV, anyway. Sitting on the couch the other night, enjoying an episode of CSI:NY on the new TV, and I noticed something about the “dead” person in scene: I could see them breathing! This is probably because of how freaking huge the new TV is, I … Continue reading →
