It’s worth discussing. And since I have to come up with 30 days worth of material for this month’s NaBloPoMo, this presented itself at an opportune time. The web world is all aflutter with the Penn State Athletics Sex Scandal. Or whatever you want to call it. This makes me ashamed for all the times … Read more
The box on the right was purchased in mid-July. I thought I needed two boxes of cake mix for something, but I only needed one. The box on the left was purchased this morning. Darned straight I took the box tops! But note the size difference….did someone think we wouldn’t notice??? I’m baking Jacob’s birthday … Read more
Canadian illustrator Andrew Kolb decided to illustrate a children’s book with the story told in David Bowie’s hit song “Space Oddity“. Now, you should know why this is interesting to me…. Mr. Kolb had put a link to the PDF of this book on his homepage earlier this week, but then he received a cease … Read more
This is just a filler post to run a fun little experiment. I am going to compare RSS Graffiti with Networked Blogs and see which syndication posts to my Facebook page faster. I’m leaning towards keeping RSS Graffiti because it didn’t require the widget on my site, nor did it require me to pick 5 … Read more
Easter 2011. I’ve gotta admit it — my boys travel VERY VERY VERY well. From Jacob and the Amtrak Auto Train to see family at 9 months old, to Timmy and a trip up to North Carolina to find a new house at 4 months old, our boys have learned that long automobile trips are … Read more
I use that line with my kids a lot when they’re making questionable decisions. If one of them is feeding grass clumps to the dog, I’ll ask “Good idea? Or bad idea?” Usually that’s enough to make them think before continuing. I got a (not-quite sanctioned) invitation to join Google+, Google’s new social network, last … Read more
This was from a year ago today, but it’s worth reviving for this year, since I laugh so much from the stupid names of some of these products! This week I’m volunteering at a fireworks stand. For those saying “Wow! How?”, let me explain a little. The state of Nebraska allows 10 days per year … Read more
This is what much of my drive up I-59 and I-81 looked like last month. If you’re unfamiliar with the southeastern U.S., you might have never seen this. Having lived in North Carolina for 3 years, there were areas where we came to expect it. So…what is kudzu? You can read the details, from the … Read more
UPDATE: Whatever is going on is related to my Safari browser. So here I am using Firefox and everything seems fine. Phew! Apparently my Blogger account (not Google account, just the Blogging part of it) is having some problems, so I will be attempting to do some blogging via e-mail, which is the only way … Read more
Corn’s been in my mind a lot this week. “Yeah, being in Nebraska will do that to you….” As I was saying, some corn-related items have surfaced these past few days, not just from being here, but I guess in general. Corn thought #1: In Florida, local corn harvests are in full swing, with our … Read more
