Remember the beautiful and lovely Gina Elise of Pin Ups for Vets? If you don’t you need to find the nearest rock and crawl out from under it. I got an e-mail from Gina last night saying that she is now taking orders for her 2008 benefit calendar. Gina says, “I am [...]

I have a shiny, new 2007 Ford Fusion and in this Ford Fusion I have a Kenwood DNX7100.  The DNX7100 is an all-in-one entertainment and navigation package which fits quite well in double DIN dash board openings.
I have been tinkering with the settings on this system for a few weeks now but the thing that [...]

Remember the beautiful Gina Elise of Pin Ups for Vets? She has been hard at work on the 2008 Pin Ups for Vets calendar and sent me an e-mail asking for a little bit of help. Here is what she sent:
Chris,It’s Gina…I am coming down to the finish line on the ‘08 calendar! [...]

A few years ago I had to hand it to the US Army.  To a certain extent they encouraged soldiers to blog.  For a long time, they were the only branch of the Department of Defense that even had a policy on blogging.  As far as I know, the US Air Force still doesn’t have [...]

Wednesday night Aubree played in her Kindergarten program, Down on the Farm. Aubree and the other Kindergarteners did a fabulous job putting on a great show. I’m pretty damn proud of my child at this point.
However, the parents of the Kindergarteners were the ones that absolutely baffled me. I can not completely blame the parents [...]

I had an epiphany this weekend while I watched my wife play an old video game on our Xbox. I was not feeling well so I thought it to be smart to law on the couch and attempt to spend time with my wife. I was not looking for sympathy. I quickly [...]

I was installing WordPress on a domain yesterday and downloaded the WordPress recommended Widgets Theme Pack. I then unpacked the Widgets Theme Pack in the ‘themes’ directory, pick a theme, and off I went to do other things. Not so fast, after leaving the blog alone for about an hour I noticed [...]

I had an amazing adventure around White Sands Missile Range yesterday and decided to geotag some pictures I took there.  Being new to the whole geotagging process I initially decided the best way to do it would be with Flickr’s Map system.  That couldn’t have been further from the truth.  Out of all the places [...]
