Year of the Tiger
Happy Chinese New Year! It’s the year of the Tiger and Sunday was Valentine’s Day too. What a dilemma: do you pay attention to the New Year or to the made up Hallmark holiday? That was solved in seconds and we went to celebrate the New Year.
This has been a busy weekend. On Friday I [...]
Well I sure taught the snow who’s boss
All day yesterday it snowed from around midnight to at least 11:30 PM. Several times I went out and cleared the driveway. Around the end of my second pass I noticed that the oil cap came off on my snow thrower and oil was burning. I shut it down and replaced the cap.
Later on when [...]
Here’s an idea: just do the right thing
The Tea Party convention has affected me. Go watch this video at CNN.com’s web site. Take your time.
Back? Now let’s pass a law that lets the President of the United States simply point his finger at anyone and say “Enemy Combatant”. With that one pronouncement the government can grab anyone and do anything to that [...]
Will it snow this time?
Last Friday night the LIRR was talking about if 10 inches of snow fall, then they will shut down the entire train system. That only sounds bad since last time it snowed some poor people were kidnapped and held hostage against their will for many hours on a disabled train. The idea is that it [...]
8 bags of garbage
My family and I have been living in our house for over 5 years now. During that time, I have cleaned up my junk in the basement a couple of times. Our kids? Not once. Our basement looked like an organized mess. All of their toys (mostly broken) were piled up against the wall.
That changed [...]
Darker than Black – Gaiden
The anime Darker than Black Gaiden has started. The last series was not too bad but this seems to have more action. It’s supposed to take place right after the first season.
I’ll keep an eye on it and see if it’s worth following.
Mozilla Weave
I’m giving Mozilla Weave a try. I’ve been a big fan of the extension formally known as Foxmarks (Xmarks) so when Mozilla released Weave, I was not sure if there was anything for me to look at.
I use a work PC, my HP, and a laptop. Xmarks has been good at keeping my bookmarks and [...]
Recycling an old printer
Stefan had replaced his old Epson Stylus Photo R300 printer a long time ago and dropped it off at my house. It’s a USB Epson inkjet printer that has been replaced a couple of times over. I don’t even know what the current model is, but this one was free so who cares?
Naturally, I hooked [...]
And now our report on the news
I think Charlie Brooker gets it. The news format is perfect.
Now if only someone could get Stone Phillips to do this skit on the Daily Show.

Wow, Skype looks different
I was catching up with a friend and she asked me if I still used Skype. When she and I worked at the same company, instant messaging and Skype were very popular.
I have not used Skype or IM for many months. With Skype I was getting weird spammy contact requests so I left it off. [...]
