I made a trip to the Endo yesterday to have some blood drawn. As we sat in the examination room (or whatever they’re called) he looked down at a paper in my file and said something like, “Oh my.” “Is it about the weight?” I asked. “You’re up 32 pounds in the last six months.” [...]

  Missy pointed me toward the directions on Marty’s blog. I’ll drone on about building it to the point of almost putting you in a coma in a later post. Right now I really need to go to bed. Technorati Tags: Camera rig

My Palm TX that is. It’s been gone for a week and a half now and I’ve almost come to terms with the fact it may be gone for good. For the first week it was gone I’d convinced myself that I’d just put it someplace safe and that I’d eventually stumble across it. The [...]

Several weeks ago I purchased a memory upgrade for one of the CAD workstations. The upgrade came in the form of two four-gigabyte memory modules. I’ve installed RAM in hundreds of computers over the years and am thoroughly familiar with the process. That’s important to remember as it’s the excuse I’m going to use for [...]

Sammo and I took a 3.5-mile walk yesterday. I took my camera, with the Eye-Fi card, and snapped photos along the way. I did not turn the camera off during the stroll or while we stopped and powered back burritos. I figured this would give the Eye-Fi card the best chance of sniffing out locations. [...]

I was doing some more experimenting with my Eye-Fi card trying to make sure it uploaded via open WiFi networks.  To do this I added an open router to my network and made sure I could connect to the Internet through it. I then took some pictures of my office. I could not get the [...]

The dream went like this… I was sleeping (in my dream) and one of my boys woke me up to tell me I had a phone call. “Who is it,” I asked. “Capricorn Cringe. She wants to set up an online game of Age of Empires.” I took the phone and spoke briefly with Cap. [...]

Before I get into the details, I’ll mention the coolest thing (to me) about the Eye-Fi card  I have in my camera. Sometimes I’ll turn my computer on and after it boots up pictures I’ve taken will automatically download themselves to my hard drive from the Eye-Fi servers. I’ve not put time into trying to [...]

… Early on it’s Views of the Lions Gate Bridge Poutine Views of the ocean Posing with stuffed bears and, of course,   Harvested deer hanging out the back of a pickup truck. Eventually, it becomes… Brake jobs and Doggie doors. The thing that remains consistent throughout is the good sense of humor possessed by [...]
