State of the Union

I’ve been watching some of the State of the Union address tonight, and there was a comment President Bush made and a Democratic reaction that stunned me. If you’ve ever watched a State of the Union address, then you know that it can seem like an up-and-down clapping fest. When President Bush says something Republicans ...

Almost Successful Upgrade

Tonight I upgraded to WordPress 2.1. The upgrade went smoothly, except for one tiny little part. I thought I had backed up everything I needed for the transition. When I upgrade my WordPress installation, I follow a pretty simple process, although I wouldn’t recommend it. Always follow the upgrade instructions at the WordPress site. My ...

Colts and Bears

Well, Super Bowl XLI is going to be Colts – Bears. Not the matchup I would have liked at the beginning of the season, but it should be interesting nonetheless. I didn’t catch much of the Bears – Saints game. We were too busy bowling and trading forehand shots on the Wii. However, I did ...

2006 Stats

Several blogs that I read have posted their 2006 statistics over the last couple of weeks. Although mine pale in comparison, I thought I’d share them anyway.

According to this, a proposed Senate bill would require, “…even bloggers, who communicate to 500 or more member of the public on policy matters, to register and report quarterly to Congress the same as the big K Street ...

The Wii Experience 1

I had been hoping to play the new Nintendo Wii ever since it was released in November. This weekend I finally got my chance, and the Wii did not disappoint. My friend, Dave, had bought two Wiis when they first came out – one for a friend, and one to sell eventually. He brought the ...

Lovely Rita and the iPhone

So, today was the announcement of the long-anticipated iPhone. In the midst of all the hoopla, it seems that some people are missing something pretty significant. For a little background information, apparently the Beatles started a recording studio or company called Apple Records which then sued Apple Computer a while ago, I believe over the ...

Thanks MySpace

I just got locked out of my MySpace account for 15 minutes, due to, “excessive login failures.” What’s funny is that my login failed once, and that was because the connection got reset, since I was logging in from a dial-up connection. So, I guess one login failure is excessive. I was just talking with ...

Revenge of the Skunk – Part 2 2

A few days ago I wrote about our troubles with a certain skunk who had taken up residence under our home. I had no idea that the situation would be rectified so quickly. First, I should note that God allows us to go through tests in our lives I believe to see how we will ...
