When did email become a hassle?

  • 16 Nov, 2006

I’ve been emerged in an extremely cool project for the past week or so and my email has just been piling up. so many that I’m kind of dreading going though them. When did email stop being fun and start being a hassle? I can remember back to when I first got an email account. […]

Welcome Pinky and the Brains

  • 5 Nov, 2006

Welcome to our new fish, Pinky and the Brains. Ok, so I can’t take a picture of the fish. Maybe I should have switched to motion mode or something. 🙂 Pinky, actually Pinky 2 as the first one didn’t last, is a GloFish®. GloFish® are fluorescent fish (see for yourself) that have been genetically created […]

A Month with Google Reader

  • 1 Nov, 2006

I’ve been using Google Reader for about a month or so now and the transition to it has been pretty good. It’s got most of the features I want and works quite well. I think Google has a ways to go on it yet, but so far it has turned into my default feed reader. […]

Happy Halloween

  • 31 Oct, 2006

Here it is Halloween time again. This year we bought kids carving kits and carved some great pumpkins. We choose not to get the adult carving kits as they are always way to hard. I’ve tried them in the past and it’s never any fun. The kids ones however worked out quite nicely. Not sure […]

Apple Stores are Brilliant

  • 18 Oct, 2006

As I stand here in the Southdale Apple Store, I can’t but think about how great it was that Apple brought products and support to the people. You can’t get this kind of support over the phone. So what happened? Well my hard drive gave out this morning on my iMac G5. I immediately tried […]

Larry the Cable Guy : Health Inspector

  • 15 Oct, 2006

We rented Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector over the weekend and found it to be quite enjoyable. I think that all the bad reviews got our hopes down and when you go into a movie not expecting much, it turns out to be better than you expected. It was funny and worth our rent. […]

Pickin’ Apple and A-maze-ing Corn

  • 8 Oct, 2006

We enjoyed a few fall festivities over the weekend. We went to Deardorff Orchards, an apple orchard just down the road from us and picked our own apples. It was a beautiful day and just being outside enjoying the fall day was great. We also got some great apples and went for a wagon ride. […]
