Month: November 2008

Realized I am reliant on my calendar more now–not just to keep track of things (which I need to work on…and that Blackberry from Naarah will certainly help that when it finally arrives…), but just to remember what day of the week it is! PS Off to a client shortly!

Turns out that there are are multiple cars along our street with similarly broken-out windows, over the length of a couple miles (from at 39th to 72nd). My guess is that few (if any) have bothered to attempt a police report, given our previous experiences with the lack of willingness on the part of the…

Every once in a while a book comes along that is not only written well, but is impacting. That is Billy: The Untold Story of a Young Billy Graham and the Test of Faith that Almost Changed Everything by William Paul McKay and Ken Abraham. This is the third book I’ve reviewed for Thomas Nelson…

Here in Tacoma (and I’ll safely assume with other cities across the country as well) stats like to be touted about falling crime rates. We’ve been here, and in the same house, for almost 10 years now, and I can tell you without any doubt that the stats are misleading if not just outright fabrications.…

So I’m on the couch tonight at around 10:20 working remotely on a client’s server. Kids and wife are asleep, and I’m about to wrap it up for the night when I hear something outside on the street. [The front of the house is about 35-40 feet from the street.] Was a little bit of…

So a new ad campaign by Motrin has begun, targeting mothers. In the event they take the video ad down soon, here’s the transcript (with some emphasis on my part, in bold): Wearing your baby seems to be in fashion. I mean, in theory it’s a great idea. There’s the front baby carrier, sling, schwing,…

…for a new template, that is. While I ‘ve really liked the one this is currently based on, the creator of this one (was actually a WordPress template redone for Blogger) has either taken a sabbatical or doesn’t wish to do anything with it any longer. And that’s an issue, because there are many of…

No, not me, silly…I am, at this point in time, for profit. Though next year, depending on how taxes go this year, I may need to go under the umbrella of a 501c3…but that’s another story. 😉 Looking for a small form factor, maybe even Shuttle-type box, P4 or better PC, hoping for 1GB RAM,…

Am listening to an 80’s station online as I write this, so it *may* have influenced the title a bit. But there really have been a couple of awesome things that happened this week. Saturday I somehow broke my HP iPaq. That part’s not awesome, far from it. Cracked the touchscreen. (Oddly enough, I’d just…

(as opposed to any other day, that is…) Let me preface this by saying that I rarely remember my dreams. But in the last couple of days that has apparently changed. This morning about 2 or 3ish I woke from this dream:We were all downstairs, with Josh playing in the living room area, and everyone…
