First One’s Free

So Colleen and I were at the store a little over one week ago and while walking down the cereal aisle, I did something I haven’t done in over two years – I bought a non-General Mills cereal. I know, not a big deal, right? Well, I still have a bunch of great friends working [...]
First Non-Adjacent-State Family Visit
My Dad and Karen came out from New Hampshire to visit us a little over a week ago. It was the first time we’ve had anyone from my family visit (they’re all from non-adjacent states). I took a couple days off of work so we could spend time together. We spent one day doing nothing, [...]

Well…been gone from our own website for nearly a year. Now that Colleen and I have settled down in one place, I’m out of excuses, and need to get back to the blogging. I’m sure nobody’s left to read this post, but if there is, keep watching, I’ll post updates and pictures as we start [...]

I was browsing around the internet a couple weeks ago and stumbled across a website that had a sale price and free shipping on custom-printed glasses clothes.
$0.99 and 2 weeks later the package arrived from Hong Kong ($4 shipping had been paid by the sender).
There are at least three reasons why this is the best [...]

I’m supposed to be on vacation this week, but I’ve ended up working every day so far. As a project manager, when things blow up, you have to get involved even if your team isn’t responsible. Several of my projects have found themselves in various states of emergency over the last couple weeks. The good [...]

One of my coworkers sent an email to me describing his friend’s Christmas lights:
I’ve been CRAZY busy this year, but for the sake of my granddaughter, I decided to put up holiday lights!!! So I finally got it done last night. While I’m not one to toot my own horn (toot toot) I [...]
New Blogging Engine (Again)

As you probably noticed, our site’s changed its look again. Last night I had our hosting company, 1and1, spin up some Linux/MySQL server space for us. Colleen and I decided that we didn’t like the lack of flexibility that iWeb gave us. It also turns out that we’ll be able to save some money on [...]

Yesterday Colleen and I went to Andy and Irene’s wedding at their farm near Hutchinson.
They’re both really into unicycling, and had a unicycling obstacle course set up. There were also disc golf, pogo sticks, and walking trails.
There will probably be some pictures posted on Andy and Irene’s webpage soon.

So Colleen and I have been using Blogger for the past couple of years. Recently we started having some problems with our hosting company (1and1), so I began looking around for another option. Since we got a new Mac last month, I thought we could give iWeb a shot.
My conclusions so far: if you just [...]

Last summer when Colleen and I were in Missouri, Joe started working on making a ginormous Nintendo controller-styled coffee table. I’m not sure where that project’s at, but apparently somebody else stole his idea and is getting noticed by various geeks on the web. I think someone needs to make a Sega Genesis controller. I’d [...]
