Life happens in the small moments…enjoy and learn from them.
Everyone that either knows me or has followed this blog for awhile knows that I have been very unhappy with what Ford has done with the Volvo line since they bought it. Perhaps times are changing because the new Volvo S80 looks awesome. Why? Ford did not mess up the design, I actually like it. […]
The city of Chicago is trying to bring the Olympics to our wonderful city in 2016. Yesterday, our mayor unveiled the “Chicago 2016” logo, which I think is awesome. In typical Chicago fashion, the logo contains a reference to our amazing skyline. Now that I think about it a little bit, it is a little […]
Some days are better than others and the people on my train have decided to make the most of the their commute one day a week. If you have ever depended on public transportation, you know that people like to do a lot of the same. Same train, same car (in the train), same seat. […]
If it is not one thing, it is another. I recently had to set up a web server using Mac OS X 10.4 that needed PHP 5 and Postfix so I could send email via a particular PHP script. I used Marc Liyanage ‘s PHP 5 package and then decided to to then use Mac […]
If you have not been to despair.com stop now, go there and then come back. For those seasoned workers, now it is your turn to make your own crafty posters with the Parody Motivator Generator. The site is slow loading, but it is worth the wait.
The US tries to connect with teens…again. On another note. Gas prices have fallen almost a dollar in the last month and a half. Thank goodness…now Ford and GM can start selling their SUVs again. (I am sure there is no coincidence there.)

Well, five years ago today I was glued to the TV, watching two live shots while also following two breaking news text feeds at the bottom of the TV screen while surfing CNN.com. Wow. Once again, I find myself watching countless shows about 9/11 and soaking up more information about the events of 9/11 that […]
Yeah, that is right. I have not balanced my check book since my high school days when my parents “highly recommended” it. Well…having a business for the past year has really…made me get serious about finances. I bought (and suffered through many months of “I think this is right” and trips to the accountant for […]
Time is very precious to me. I have a lot to do and not enough time to do it. Today I had the displeasure (second time now) of dealing with Vonage’s support via phone. My issue: My outgoing caller id was incorrect. I thought this would be simple. My thought process on how this would […]
I cannot believe it, but Steve Irwin is no longer with us! I spent many hours – avoiding studying – watching him on Animal Planet. Thanks for making science and conservation fun for kids and adults alike! [tags]Steve Irwin, Animal Planet[/tags]
Yesterday marked the move in day for new and returning Penn State students and in that spirit, I thought I would note a few of Penn State’s ranking facts. (Not to mention this weekend is our first football game of the season!! I look forward to another year of Joe!) UCLA is the only University […]
