When Jim Egli was here to visit (if you want to hear the MP3 of the interview Jeff did with him, it is here) he mentioned that he is listening to the bible on his ipod via a podcast of the 1-year bible. ( Bible Podcasting Angst ) In other related news, I got an email from [...]

The thing I find most interesting about today is not that I have sucessfully spent more money than I thought I was worth, bringing my week tally to 1 brand new car, and 1 106 year old house, but it is the wonderful interaction of the people around me I’ve had. Last night I went [...]

I think we have come to a decision and are going to put an offer on a house. ( House Stuff )

So I like the new car pretty well, it has an axillary input in the stereo so I can plug the ipod right into it, and the shifter is in a slightly more comfortable place than the old car and has a cooler looking knob. That ends the differences between the new Saturn ION and [...]

I’m a total freaking genius, and by genius, I mean idiot. I killed my car through neglect, and now as we are approaching a time when we want to buy a house we have to get a car. So, after consulting many who have not ever killed a car, and some who have, we have [...]

So here it is, with an emphasis on one particular thing I’ve been kicking around in my brain the last week or so: ( What if Tech was easier for [...]

I installed the newest beta of Windows Vista (the version of windows that will be out later this year) on my machine at home today. It ate my trusty old monitor that got me through most of high school and college. I had the dual monitor setup going like I usually do, and then all [...]

One of my big faults is related to one of my favorite strengths. Whenever I start working on a tech project I go crazy nuts over it. Then once I’ve mastered the ins and outs of whatever I’m doing, I get bored. Usually this is when the project is nearing completion, or I’m at a [...]

I think I slept an hour or two last night. Work is going to suck.
