Technological Distractions

Since obtaining my new phone, I can’t seem to put it down. Laura has already had a few comments about that, but I keep wanting to play with it. Over all, I’m happy with it, but I still have much to get used to. I’ve enable “voice dialing” for some numbers, which I have to [...]

Accessorize!

After having ordered my new phone, I forgot that I would have to order some storage for it. In order to download all of my email, I need a 1GB MiniSD card, so I’m going to get one from Newegg.com. Actually, I just submitted the order.
Anyway: the phone arrived at home today. Of course, I’m [...]

The Phone Cometh

I’ve finally ordered a new cell phone. My old one was getting hard to use – sometimes the buttons didn’t work, or it would answer for no reason when I was not near the phone.
So, I’m going with the Cingular 8100 – the non-camera version of the 8125. It’s a Windows Mobile 5 device and [...]

A New Look?

Let’s take a poll: is it time for a new look on my site? I’ll listen to your opinion. Tell me if you think I should:
A) Do nothing – it’s great.
B) Maybe change the picture and color a little, but leave the rest of the structure the same.
C) Complete overhaul.
I may not do what you [...]

Lightning!

I have always wanted to take pictures of lightning striking out of a thunderstorm and I thought tonight was my chance. It was not to be, however. While the thunderstorm rages outside [without rain so far], all the flashes have either been behind a cloud or below the tree line.
Guess I’ll have to keep waiting.

Fiscal Year's End

This week marks the end of the “fiscal year” for my employer. This is good news – I’ve been working non-stop without a break so that I can make the numbers I need and Friday is the end of that working streak. This means I’m SO ready for a vacation. I really want to take [...]

VoIP Concerns

I’m seeing some strange things about Verizon suing Vonage over some aspect of Voice over IP technology – even as far as asking for an immediate “cease and desist” offering service to all their customers. Most analysts say that Verizon is gravely worried over the loss of many of their customers [myself included - although [...]

Big Oops

I hate it when I “fix” something that was working just fine – and doesn’t work anymore. I did that to my email server. So, I can receive email just fine, but for those of you waiting replies… well, you’ll just have to wait a bit until I get home. Seems I can’t send. Funny [...]

Can You Believe It?

I actually made it to the gym last night. Laura and I went and worked out. Now – I hope my shoulder gets better with regular workouts. I’m still hurting and somewhat weak in the shoulder joint after our motorcycle wreck last Summer. This is the same shoulder that I had surgery on several years [...]

I'm A Slacker

I haven’t been to the gym in weeks. I can tell. My body is feeling restless and uncomfortable – and easily fatigued. It’s been a long time since I’ve actually maintained a good workout schedule, so I think it’s time I started again. I have to try – I’m getting older by the minute.
Maybe I [...]
