  • A good way to start the Day

    Starbucks Via Instant Iced Coffee (part of my birthday goodies) served in a vintage Boilermaker (2006) souvenir glass.  Yum.

  • Times are Changing

    So, last week I went my everyday ATM and notice that they swapped out the hardware.  The previous generation had the cool feature that allows you to feed in printed checks (like payroll, etc) without an envelope and it OCRs it to get the amount automatically. The new ATM goes 2 steps further.  Now, you…

  • Whoa, Ice Bending?

  • Breakfast Buddy

    Man, I love this new cup!  Now, can we please put away the valentines bib?

  • Customer Service, done right: LL Bean

    Was in my local LL Bean store earlier.  In the past, they’ve sold a particular Nalgene water bottle that both my kids like.  Since Luke finally started drinking on his own, he’s always loved his trusty blue bottle.  So much, the magical valve that keeps him from having a water party whenever he has it…

  • iPod touches for sale

    FYI, I’ve got a couple of iPod touches for sale on eBay at the moment if anybody is into that kind of thing.  Have at them: 3rd Generation 8Gb 4th Generation 16Gb Update: 2013-06-09 10:11pm.  3rd generation version sold just 3.5 hours after listing.

  • Street Legal?

    Spotted outside my office recently.  Think that belongs to one of the assorted street preachers blathering away outside more frequently than usual lately.

  • Shake It

    Peach, Strawberry, and Orange smoothies.  The only reason I owe a blender.

  • Crockpot Lasagna

    Sounds kinda strange, but way easier than traditional lasagna, and just about as tasty.  Those crazy Duggars may be on to something.  Of course, we quarter sized the recipe, since there’s about 18 less people in our house. Both kids loved it.  Told Jilly it was sausage in there (she’s doesn’t eat hamburger);  shh, don’t…
