While I’m at it, I thought I’d post my recommendation that everyone gets the appropriate number of carbon monoxide detectors for your home. Both my brother and sister have passed out from separate carbon monoxide poisoning incidents (don’t worry, they were OK). If you need a story to convince you, read this old post from […]

Public Service Announcement 2: Backups!
As you might have guessed from the previous post’s title, I have more than one piece of wisdom to impart. I have a question for you: “Are you backing up your data?” To cut the the chase, I recently had my 400GB Western Digital My Book external hard drive fail. I don’t know exactly what […]
Public Service Announcement 1: Laundry Room
On Thursday, we had an unfortunate malfunction. The water level switch in our washing machine failed to trip. The switch is the device in a washer that detects when enough water has entered the tub. As you can probably imagine, that switch failing means that the washer will continue to “fill” well past the point […]
Not the manly image they were shooting for
I still love my Toyota Tundra, but I think they’ve made a marketing mistake in one of their latest commercials. In the commercial I saw recently, a construction worker pulls up in a new Tundra on a job site. A coworker says to him, “A Toyota?”, to which the driver simply replies, “Get in.” In […]
Seeking: long lost friends
Just the other night I was cruising the logs for this site, and it reminded me of a post I’ve been wanting to make. Despite having very little meaningful content, I’ve had somewhere around a quarter million hits on this site, and I’ve had quite a few search terms end up in the top few […]
Superbowl oddities
Yesterday we had a superbowl party, and in short, a number of things went a little oddly… First, and most obviously, the 14-point underdog NY Giants pulled it off! Secondly, on saturday at 4pm, prior to shopping for the party, we had 8 families (28 people) planning to join us for the game. Within the […]
Hanging tough
Ok, here’s the news I’m sure most of you have been waiting for for the last fifteen years… People magazine is reporting hints of a New Kids on the Block reunion! This may not be a bad move… all of those screaming pre-teens at their concerts in 1990 are now in their late twenties.
New photos of Evan
We posted some more photos of Evan (it’s been a while). Months 28 through 33 are new. Take a look on the photos page.
Lefty-loosey
Tonight we went to Walmart for some necessities, and while we were there we got Evan a little treat. It’s an Aquadoodle Mini Mat with Thomas on it. It’s just a little pen that holds water along with a couple of coloring book pages. When you get the pages wet, the black and white pages […]
Firebug is awesome
I’ve been fooling around with web development for quite some time, but I’ve never been all that serious about it. I wrote a photo gallery plugin for WordPress in PHP, but I didn’t really know what I was doing. This evening I’ve been working on the AJAX portion of my plugin and I finally decided […]
