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,…

Attention Raging Tech Shoppers
I know a lot of my readers are other bloggers, and we bloggers like to find the simplest and smartest ways to do anything. We love deals, coupons, specials, and promotions. We’ll be the first to tell you what’s good and what’s bad, what’s hot and what’s not. So when I tell you serious bargain…
Because It’s My Blog and I Can
If you’re overly sensitive to couply-romanticy-stuff then you know, you should ignore this post and move along, nothing to see here. I’m “going on dates” with this lovely woman. She’s my “girlfriend-equivalent.” One of the reasons why we use the phrases in quotation marks is that she’s going away in the fall, and we don’t…
Prepare for Disaster Recovery: Rebit Data Back-Up
If you think you’re exempt from the cataclysmic eventuality of computer hard drive failure, think again. Hard drives are only meant to last for a few years, tops!

You know you all just shuddered a little. Junior high: one of the most awkward times of anyone’s life. Watch…
Current Work Projects
I have several things I’m trying to do at work while I’m answering calls and hanging on to my sanity. It’s neat to have something to be put in charge of and take responsibility for. Project 1: Update the Help Desk Website Copy Myself and the hourly full-time guy are in charge of updating the…
Keep It Green: Vacation Season is Upon Us
The weather is warming up quickly, the chilly windy days are almost completely over around here (for those of you gawking at me, I live in the mountains, so it stays colder longer here). I’ve already cranked up the air conditioner a few days in a row now. Last year in May I took a…
Spend Your Energy Wisely and Be Happy
I’ve written before on how I’ve developed a different attitude towards wealth and money. I used to believe you had to be rich and have everything easy to have a happy life. I know that’s stupid and childish, and somewhat selfish, but I’ve always envied people who had more than me. In the last couple…
One Rank to Rule Them All
Previously mentioned Izea Ranks, is set to trump all other ranking systems. Alexa, Google Page Rank, Technorati, Blogjuice, and the other myriad of ranking systems are starting to get nervous, maybe even a little sweaty, over newcomer Izea Ranks. These other ranking systems all have their prolific search engine-based ranking algorithms and fancy mathematical formulas…
