The (Other) End of the Internet

The last stop on the information superhighway. All traffic must exit in 500 feet.

Wouldn’t it be nice.

Daughter Number Two doesn’t know it, but she gave me an idea the other day. She was talking about how she’d like to get an external hard drive for her laptop. This got me to thinking about how I’d like an extra drive for my laptop as well as my desktop machine. The idea she […]

Turn that down!

It seems sometimes that all I do is wander around from daughter to daughter telling them to turn down their headphones. My favorite sentence these days is, “If I can hear it, it’s too loud”. The standard reply to that comment is that it has to be that loud to be heard over the rest […]

Graduation Exercises

I attended Daughter Number Two’s high school graduation ceremony this afternoon. It seems like just yesterday I was the one wearing the cap and gown and proudly walking across the stage in front of six or seven hundred proude parents. Now I’ve watched two of my children do that. Where does the time go?
When I […]

It’s back

About a week or so I sent my laptop to a guy in Washington State because it had a problem with the jack where the A/C adapter plugs in. It seems that Dell Laptops are famous for having the power jack break loose from the motherboard.
I couldn’t be happier with the job that “Dr. […]

My wishlist just got bigger

Mother’s day is mere days away. If your home works like mine, that means two things. First, if you haven’t gotten Mom that Perfect Gift you’re probably in a heap of trouble. Second, someone has probably realized that Father’s Day is looming as well.
While I wouldn’t be so bold as to try to speak […]

Busy Weekend

I didn’t put this post up yesterday because the one that I did put up had been nagging at my brain and insisted on being done first. Here’s a quick summary of what else happened in the last few days:
Thursday, March 20th, I’m sure you’ve heard, was the first day of Spring. I still haven’t […]

An unsponsored review of Zenni Optical

A few weeks ago I saw a blog post promoting Zenni Optical’s eyeglasses starting at $8. Since I recently lost a pair of glasses in a tornado, I thought I’d give them a try. Here, for your edification, are my thoughts and opinions on the products I received.
I am going to state here, for […]

My brain hurts now

I have spent the last couple of hours surfing randomly from blog to blog trying to find ways to entertain myself while everyone else in the house is asleep.
I just happened upon a blog hosted at blogspot.com that was almost physically painful to read. The blog is written by a woman from the Philippines who […]

Yes, I follow links I find…

I read somebody’s blog post today where they mentioned something about a person wanting the latest Chrysler 300 accessory. Since I had never heard of a Chrysler 300 or what kind of accessories it might require, I decided to go look at the link they provided.
The site shows a car that I feel safe in […]

I wish I had known about this…

I had a minor catastrophe last week when my c: drive hiccuped and I couldn’t get the computer to boo(or, more accurately, stop rebooting).
I wish I had known about Fast-teks inc. before now. They offer a complete line of I.T. services - everything from website design and Hosting to quickBooks Training to remote data […]
