The (Other) End of the Internet

If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!My brother just sent me an interesting web page. It’s at http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/live_tv.html and, as you can tell by the URL, it’s a streaming video feed from NASA. Sounds like a really great way to watch repairs on the Hubble telescope […]

We were talking about the school’s project of remodeling their library and Daughter Number Two cheerfully informed us that the school she graduated from last year was remodeling their chapel (yes, they had a chapel. They also had dormitories and the kids stayed there all year even though they were just in high school) so […]

Daughter Number Three has been home from school recovering from her back surgery for the last three or four weeks. The school has sent a tutor out with homework and my daughter has been finishing it and sending completed work back withn the tutor. She is now officially done with all her homework assignments except […]

Since my birthday is rapidly approaching, I keep finding myself spending time online looking around to see what sort of goodies are on sale.
This time I’ve found something that I’d really enjoy getting. It’s a SanDisk 4GB Cruzer Titanium Plus USB Flash Drive.
I have a 1GB flash drive which I use to store a […]

First off, if you came here wanting to drop an EntreCard, you’ve probably noticed that the EntreCard widget has been removed. It has gotten very little use lately, largely because I barely can find time these days to maintain my own blog, never mind going to visit 300 other blogs every day. Also, it seems […]

I’ve had a bit of a shock today, so I’m going to apologize in advance if this post tends to ramble a bit or seem just a little incoherent. That’s just how I’m feeling right now.
About four-thirty this afternoon, we got a phone call from my brother saying that his wife (who is my wife’s […]

Recently, someone posted a comment asking why I refer to my children as “Daughter Number One”, “Daughter Number Two”, and so on instead of just referring to them by name. This post is an answer to that comment.
The short answer, not to put too fine a point on it, is: my blog, my rules. I […]

I like to think I’m reasonably fair when moderating comments. Generally, as long as it is a valid comment that tells me the commenter actually read the post, I’ll go ahead and approve it.
The names that appear on some of those comments occasionally make me laugh out loud. I understand the concept of using […]

I’m taking a break from the running commentary on Romeo and Juliet so I can announce that today is my brother’s birthday. I’ll be nice enough not to announce his age. I know I’m not the least bit concerned about being 44 years old, but you never know how other people feel about their age […]

Paraskevidekatriaphobia is the fear of Friday the 13th. Given today’s date, I simply had to post that little factiod.
So, why is Friday the 13th considered to be so unlucky? As the 6th day of the week, Friday is considered by many to be a Bad Thing®. While I don’t understand how anyone could possibly prove […]
