That’s what we call it. Straight from the Jewish Old Testament, every 7 years all debts were forgiven and it was a time of celebration. So, how does that translate over to the boys in our house in 2008?
Simple: PlayStation.
Accuse us of being controlling or applaud us for limiting computer use, but we allow [...]
Yes…finally I am upgrading my ol’ eMac external hard drive (oh, how many more times can I clean the 40 GB thing?) I’ve been running with only 4 GB of free space for a while and I gots a new 250 GB external HD in the mail today. (I remember our first computer had 20 [...]
I’m checking to make sure that OPML editor can connect to a non WordPress.com WP blog. I was playing around with MarsEdit today and I got to thinking that I type better via outliner than straight textwindow. Anyway, this post is really for me, but if you enjoy it, leave a comment, eh?
And it does. [...]
And this is not a rant against not getting the Lilly Endowment for not granting my proposal “Writing a blank canvas: Arctic Canada and Northern Indiana” (There is little distracting about the landscapes of Nunavut, Canada and Northern Indiana. But in writing about place, I plan on crafting an non-fiction essay about the vast beauty [...]
And I blame it on @rherdman for suggesting that I give it another try and I, once again, remember why I didn’t decide on using Thunderbird: importing address contacts.
I know it’s not that big of a deal, but it is. I use GMail and since my defection from .Mac mail, I’ve used Google’s mail service [...]
It’s the one thing that I can say to Evan that will guarantee a dramatic response. It goes like this:
ME: Evan, how was your day?
EVAN: Eh. Fine, I guess. (Fiddling with a miniature paper airplane as he looks longingly at the PlayStation2 which he’s been ground from for the rest of the week. These are [...]
I’m looking at a draft post that I never did finish. It’s about how I was getting frustrated with switching to a certain browser for specific tasks. Call me old-fashioned, but I want it my way and that way (in my perfect world) is that one browser should be able to do all of my [...]
I’m used to the idea that not having a place for more stuff means more stuff needs to go in the trash or to Goodwill. I am comfortable with knowing that even though I’m not always looking forward to going through each room once or twice a year to declutter, the process has becoming increasingly [...]
I’ve grappled with this one since our bank in Bloomington offered “phone banking” (”using the keypad, enter the amount…”): what is the most effective (and/or efficient) way to do your personal banking?
First off, I don’t subscribe to the “wait-until-the-statement-comes-out” way of banking. You know: look at the statement and HOPE that you have some extra [...]
This morning’s tempo run (7:40 pace) of 5-miles was nice (+66f; 92% humidity; listened to Bruce Hornsby, the “Everybody Dance” track from Paul M. and Train).
As I look back on the last 3 months of blogging (or at least on this site) I can see a mish-mash of stuff and things that I find amusing [...]
