Cell Phone Redemption
After puttering around the house for a while and doing my requisite time at the gym, I figured it was time for some more fun at the cell phone store. Guessing that the mall store would be overrun with teenyboppers, I headed to the other standalone Sprint location in town (well, Fairmont.) Pleasantly surprised that…

Cell Phone Hell
Helpful, hint of the day… don’t break your cell phone in the middle of your contract period if you don’t have insurance. Last week, I left my Palm Centro on the kitchen counter, where I’ve been parking my phone pretty much forever. A short while later, I heard a crash, and the characteristic scurrying sound…

New DMB Album Late
Darn, Dave just tweated that the new album is gonna be late. Seems to be coming together, just taking a while to wrap up. Looking forward to some new stuff, regardless if I have to wait a little longer.

DMB ’09 Summer Tour Announced
Just got some spam from the Warehouse regarding Dave Matthews Band some tour plans. Interesting, they’re opening at Darien Lake on May 27. Hmm, a two-fer at SPAC 2 weeks later (maybe a little Birthday trip, or early wedding anniversary celebration?) Hold the phone, Syracuse on August 4th? Now we’re talk’n. I may be too…

The Squeezebox Boom
One day, a while back I was checking my stats over at last.fm and saw a banner add for the Squeezebox Boom (now made by Logitech) and thought it was a pretty nifty little device. At first you think its just a simple net radio that lets you tune in internet radio stations, but it…

Hot Stuff… Now using Feedburner
All the cool blogs use Feedburner to host their RSS. Now, I do too. As far as I can tell, if you’re already subscribed, nothing will change for you some smoke and mirrors on this end will route everything through Feedburner’s servers automagically. I don’t think you’ll need to do anything, but if things stop…

WordPress Upgraded to 2.7.1
Finally getting around to updating WordPress again. I was waaaay behind the times. After messing around with the new admin interface (not that many changes on the end user side that I’ve noticed.) I have to admit that I should have upgraded sooner. Oh well, such is life. I also got around to turning on…

Let it snow!
After waking up to 8″ of snow this morning, I wasn’t looking forward to hours of back breaking labor clearing the driveway. so, I looked around at snowblowers at Home Depot, Loews, and Sears websites for any good deals. Ugh, we don’t happen to have a spare $600 laying around (not interested in an electric…

The Joys of Home Ownership
Part 1 – Garage Door Opener Finally finished up the garage door opener project. My buddy Cha graciously gave up a good chuck of his last Saturday morning rewriting the garage to add a new outlet to the ceiling. This Saturday, the garage door guy showed up. He quickly surveyed the situation and said…

Flying Cats?
Well, nearly. Friday morning, I thought I heard a crash around 3:45 am. Its a pretty common occurrence with our 2 kitties. At 4:40 the alarm went off as usual and after shaking out some cobwebs, I heard the distinctive sound of cat having way too much with a toy. I figured they’d snuck one…
