I’ve been meaning to get a new flashlight for some time now and I finally went on to Amazon and got one. It arrived today and it’s amazing. The Dorcy CyberLight has 5 hour runtime, can survive an 8 foot fall and shines 500 ft! It even comes with batteries. I took it outside and […]

Lightning

Last night we had quite a nice lightning show. With such a big show, I thought for sure we’d get big storms, but it turns out that we didn’t get much of anything. I did get a nice video and some nice pictures.

10 years can really change a guy. Just ask Dexter.

Dexter

Remember watching Dexter’s Laboratory in the 90’s? Well watching Dexter now is just not the same. He’s all grown up, has a new job and might be a little crazy. His sister is still annoying though.

New Google Analytics goals appear to be delayed by more than a few hours.

Google Analytics Logo

I’m a big fan of Google Analytics, but there are just things that don’t work well. I’ve recently been setting up goals for a client and one day they didn’t work and the next day they would.

Lily's Transformed Crib

I don’t know if I’m ready for this or not, but here we go. Lily’s crib has officially been converted to a toddler bed. She’s yet to see it as she’s been at grandmas for the past few days, but tonight will be her first night in it. I fully expect her to be up […]

Lion. Why you no like my computer?
Sad Cat

It’s sad but it’s true, Lion won’t work on my iMac. It’s one of the first generation Intel iMacs and it didn’t make the cut. Ohh well. I can still put it on my work computer so at least I’ll be able to play with it. And I can still get backwards scrolling if I want […]

Did you know that some Minnesota libraries have free passes to all sorts of MN destinations? We were lucky enough to get our hands on a MN Zoo pass last week and the whole family got into to the zoo for free! We got to feed the baby goats, see the fish, lions and all […]

I recently wroteabout how we got some great deals on a garage sale and one of those was a tricycle for $5. While searching for instructions on how to adjust the seat, I had quite an amazing discovery. It seems that Kettler trikes retail for $200! Damn! This was one great find and we’ll have to be […]

HTC Droid Incredible Battery

My wife and I have HTC Droid Incredibles and the battery life is far from great. With nearly nothing on my wife’s phone, it wouldn’t last an entire day. Even with minimal use. After a lot of searching and testing, it turns out that the Facebook for HTC Sense app is the main problem. It’s […]
