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 […]

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.

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.

Ok, I haven’t posted anything in a while, but this is exciting (to me, at least). It looks like Gmail is going to support access through IMAP! Basically, that means you’ll be able to work with your Gmail account from an email client (Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.) better than you can today. Instead of just downloading […]

For a couple of weeks now I’ve been using an online to-do list called “Remember the Milk.” Now that I’ve got a couple of weeks of experience, I’m going to recommend it. To sign up, just visit http://www.rememberthemilk.com/. You can separate your tasks into separate lists (work, finance, hobbies, etc.) and set priorities. You can […]

After a lot of deliberation, we decided to trade in our old truck on the new 2007 Toyota Tundra. We got a 2WD SR5 Double Cab with the 5.7L V8. For options, the one we chose has the rear sliding window, an upgraded audio system, heated mirrors, and some other minor things. There are lots […]

A few college friends and I got together over summer break (long ago) and made this fantastic work of art. I’ll let you in on a little secret: in the final few seconds, when the yellow truck drives off the screen, we SWORE you wouldn’t be able to see the table tilt! Enjoy the ever-moving […]

I don’t really remember making this video, but we used my parents old VHS camcorder with a “stop-motion” feature to make it. I had to edit out a number of frames where we got our hands in the shot!

Over the last couple of days, my wife and I have taken a fairly close look at the new 2007 Toyota Tundra. Before you say “oh no, not again”, we’re not shopping. I’ve just heard a lot of good things about it and wanted to learn more. I’m not a qualified automotive reviewer, so I’m […]

I just concluded a three week experiment with the gas mileage in my truck. My previous 3 fill-ups showed DISMAL mileage, that’s with moderately agressive driving, mostly to and from work (7 miles) in cold temperatures. I’m sure the fact that the truck was was cold for the first half of each trip didn’t help […]
