Music I hate to admit that I saved.

Remember when we were younger and the music was awesome. Now we look back and don’t admit to liking it while secretly loving it because it brings back good memories? Well I’ve been going through my old CDs and deciding which ones to get rid of. If I’m on the fence about any, I just […]

And that’s why I don’t trust the weather man.

Last week I overheard a co-worker say that we were going to get a big storm in a week with a foot or more of snow. Then my wife heard it too. Seems it was all over the news. WCCO was reporting 12-15 inches possible, KSTP said 6+ and most other stations were reporting a […]

I might actually buy a KIA if it wasn’t for this commercial.

Now that we’re looking for a new car, we’re looking at all sorts of cars from the Ford Fusion to the Toyota Camry. Last night during Nikita, they had a lot of commercials for the 2011 Kia Optima and it looks like a really nice car.  However, KIAs are not high on our list thanks to this […]

The Things I Love About My Android Phone

It’s been just over two months since I got my Android phone and there are things I love, and things I don’t like so much. Here are just a few things I love. Widgets Having the ability to get information out of an app without opening it is great. I can turn see the status […]
