Lost In The Details

Still here… somewhere…

I’m sitting in a local Starbucks, for coffee and Wi-Fi access. A lot has happened since my last update, which I hope to blog about again. The holidays came and went, we sold our house and bought a new one and are now trying to do some important repairs updates before we move in. I [...]

Sadly, you are not a monster

Yes… I love the Old Spice advertisement and the copycats, and the voicemail generator and, of course, the video in this post. In other news… I have to admit I’ve lost the will to blog! I *want* to blog, and even though I’ve got a whole list of topics I want to talk about, they [...]

Today has been scarred into my memory. When I came home today, my wife reminded me that she couldn’t print anything from her computer. The printer (which happens to be an HP C6150, one of those “all-in-one” printers) is fairly new, maybe a year or two old. So off I go into the basement, with [...]

Here’s a quick list of links that I gathered at my Delicious account this week. If you’re not already using Delicious, you should at least know about it — it’s a great tool for cataloging all the links that you collect. Extensions exist for Internet Exploder and Firefox, which add buttons to your browser’s toolbar, [...]
