Let’s face it. The British are pretty cool. They gave us great television like Dr. Who, Rome, and actors like Hugh Laurie. They gave us cool music like the Beatles. They gave us cool clothing, movies, cars, spy movie characters like James Bond, and so much more. They even take the razzing we give them…
I Miss the Beach
I love living in the mountains. It’s nice, peaceful, people are nicer. It’s rural without being completely in the middle of farmland. We’re not far away from a larger city, so I still have access to bigger stores and name brand shops if I absolutely need to visit them. However, I really miss the beach.…
Gift Idea: Reproduce Photos on Canvas
It’s still early in the year, and even though a couple of holidays have recently passed, there are still several gift-giving holidays left this year: Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and later on Christmas. That’s not to mention the birthdays of loved ones and relatives, weddings, anniversaries, retirement, graduations, and bar and bat mitzvahs. If you’re…
TGIF: It’s a Crazy Friday
I’m here at work and it’s a craaazy day. Normally, my day consists of answering phone calls and e-mail and entering support tickets and updating documentation and things of that nature, until my lunch break, and then I come right back and go back to doing the same thing.

Do Auto Service Like a Pro Mechanic
I know a lot of guys that are either really into car maintenance and service, or at least wish they were. It’s something manly I think to be able to work on your car for most small things – it saves money and you don’t have to feel sheepish or like you’re getting screwed at…
Tired, Sleepy, LOLCat-y.
I’m not sure why I’m so tired, but I do know that I went through half the night in a very light state of sleep. I woke up around 3am and the TV and light were still on. I went and shut those off and I slept slightly better for the next 4 hours before…
D & D Tip: Take a Photo of Your Party & Clean Up
I am not currently involved in a Dungeons & Dragons (D & D) game, as we have only been able to meet about 4 times this year, and the game I was Dungeon Master (DM) for was put on hiatus so that I could focus on other things, and maybe get more regular attendees. However,…
