Personal
This morning on the way in to work, I was listening to the MacBreak Weekly episode 283 entitled, “Author, Author.” I had always suspected Leo Laporte was smoking crack. Now there is no doubt. I don’t know if I can ever listen to him again. Maybe if I take a little break I will be [...]
It has been a long time since I took a few moments to update the notes on my physical health. A few years ago I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and put on a CPAP machine. The doctor thinks it’s because I am fat. That is probably true. The CPAP is meant to be [...]
Tonight the Christmas tree was finally put back in the shed. While the wife and I were shifting the dining room table back into place, I muttered, “Another Christmas come and gone.” Quite a cheesy, cliche line if I do say so myself. Obviously I am becoming an old fart. It suddenly occurred to me [...]
It’s 2011. It’s probably time for some New Year’s Resolutions, so here’s the obligatory post. First, let me speak a bit about 2010. 2010 was an interesting year.

Today I turn 37 years of age. I used to completely ignore the fact that I had a birthday and only acknowledge it to people who mentioned it, but today I’m openly declaring that I’m 37 years of age. Why am I turning against my own tide and bringing this up? I’m not sure. It [...]
I don’t want this to sound too harsh, but sometimes I get tagged by these Internet memes and it just grates on my nerves until they’re raw. What I mean to say is, of course, I’m flattered that my friends thought about me enough to actually want to know random facts about me and include [...]
So just in case you are wondering if I’m conscious of the New Year… yes, I am. Believe it or not I have just three resolutions this year and they’re quite personal. I’ll share them with you, intrepid reader, since you can keep a secret. Do better at maintaining my temper, blood pressure and sanity. [...]
A while back, Tony challenged me to the Flickr photo-a-day thing. I intended to do it, but never really got the time.
