Pulmonary Embolism – Foods to Avoid with Vitamin K

  • 30 Sep, 2006

Since my wife recently had a Pulmonary Embolism we have to watch what foods she eats. Vitamin K is one thing she doesn’t want to get to much of as it will interact with her coumadin medication. We know to say away from green vegetables, but there are a lot of other foods high in […]

Google Calendar and iCal Do Jive

  • 27 Sep, 2006

Humm… much like most of my problems, once I complain about them, they get solved. So here is what I learned about Google Calendar. My public WebDEV calendar just needed time to refresh. A good hour or two and Google loaded it no problem. My FTP calendars loaded just fine once I removed the robots.txt […]

Google Calendar and iCal Don’t Mix

  • 27 Sep, 2006

I’m not sure if it’s just me or not, but I can’t seem to get Google Calendar to work well with Apple’s iCal. I have FTPed my calendars up to a folder on my website, pointed Google Calendar to those ics files and yet, nothing shows. I’ve even published my iCal calendars on a public […]

Are Pets Reincarnated Doctors?

  • 15 Sep, 2006

Talk about a rollercoaster ride. Just a few weeks ago we were celebrating the last of Christi’s frequent broken ankle appointments. No more crutches, casts or restrictions. Then, on Thursday, Christi went in with chest and lower back pains only to be hospitalized and diagnosed with a Pulmonary embolism; a blot clot in her lungs. […]

iTunes 7 Erased my iPod

  • 12 Sep, 2006

Really, it was all my fault, but Apple could do a bit better job at warning a guy. I was playing around with the new iTunes 7 when I came across my iPod stats. Pretty nifty. I clicked on the Music tab and decided to sync a playlist. My wife hates it when she downloads […]

  • 10 Sep, 2006

Today marks my parent’s 40th wedding anniversary. To celebrate, yesterday we had a surprise party for them and got about 50 of their friends together. They had no idea it was going on either. We had a great dinner and some anniversary cake! Mmm Cake // Image lost. Sorry. Zooomr ate it. Comment if you […]

Technology is Bitter Sweet

  • 8 Sep, 2006

Ahh it’s a bitter sweet time. A few days ago Apple announced all new iMacs with twice the processor speed at a lower price. Now, I love my iMac, but it’s always hard to see the new machines arrive just months after I got mine. Being in the forefront of technology is next to impossible […]

Who says adults can’t have fun toys?

  • 5 Sep, 2006

I’m a believer that just because you get older, doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy the basics in life. Believe it or not, if you go down the toy aisle at the store, you’ll find something that is a heck of a lot of fun! We recently got an electric powered race track and it’s […]

Mac User Installs XP

  • 28 Aug, 2006

I’ve just finished installing Windows XP Home (Service Pack 2) and it was quite the process. I’m so happy to be a Mac user. 🙂 It started off just trying to figure out how to boot off the CD. Mac OS install CDs say right on them, to startup off the CD hold down the […]
