I recently came across a very cool site that has been added to my list of “enjoyable reading that doesn’t have anything to do with a computer®.” I’m sad that being a gentleman has become a lost art in our time and that many of the important things a dad is supposed to teach his [...]

I went out looking for reviews on the FRS Antioxidant Health Energy Drink product that Lance Armstrong is endorsing these days and I ran across this blog where the author has set out to try every energy boosting drink on the market. This guy has contributed hours of reading material on most of the drinks [...]

There is a great new channel called Green Planet that I discovered this weekend. I put in 3 hours of some of the best TV watching this weekend than I have in a long time. We are talking very high quality content. One of the shows, called Stuff Happens, even has Bill Nye the science [...]

I ran across this from a friend’s blog and the computer guy in me say to pass it on. Very Cool.

Three days in a row of not dealing with people complaining about broke stuff. I can’t decide which toy to play with first!

If I can afford the fuel, I think I’ll go puddle jumping and use up some of my carbon offsets. My new tires haven’t gotten dirty yet. If you’re out there, I monitor [...]
