Last November I left CEI where I had worked for 8 1/2 years. I had plenty saved up to cover me to the next gig. So out went the resumes into the void and we waited for the holidays to pass to get an idea of how things have changed […]
Personal
I mentioned in a previous post that my wife got me some more old books this past holiday. Last year she got me Pat and the Iron Horse, the first book I remember reading as a kid. This year, she found me some Big Little Books similar to the one […]
Big Little Books
2 My wife picked up a really interesting gift for me this holiday season. It's a copy of the first book I can remember checking out of a library as a kid. It's called Pat and the Iron Horse. I don't actually remember the story that well. It has something to […]
Not all gifts are new
Santa, in the form of my wife and daughter, really came through this year. Ry got me a Dell ST2010 HDMI monitor to use with my BeagleBoard. I think she saw the mammoth CRT TV I had hooked up to it and thought I deserved something more modern. I have […]
Happy Holiday: Lilliput and HDMI monitors, another WD archive
I’ve been waiting nearly 30 years for my alma mater to do something noteworthy, well other than something intellectual because lets face it, it’s not MIT. They managed a national championship in women’s basketball once and for that I’m eternally grateful. But the guys teams, well, they lack a certain […]

Cookie Monster should host Saturday Night Live! He’d be more interesting than Justin Bieber and has spent less time in rehab than Lohan. It’s a win win no matter how you look at it.
Cookies need hosts, too.
Taking a break from nerdom for a moment… I just posted pics from my garden this year. Despite warm temperatures not arriving till June, the garden flourished with a hot, dry ending that went all the way up to this week (second week of October). So the coleus and veggies […]
2010 Garden wrap up
Google continues to make changes to Google News that are of no real benefit. They do it in order to satisfy news sources and generate revenue. But the point of a service like Google News is *not* to benefit news sources but to benefit the readers who wish to choose […]
Google News is now irrelevant – Moving to Good Noows
Here in the armpit of America known as Colorado Springs we have one cable provider, Comcast, at least in the area we live in. For the past four years we've had Extended Basic Cable service for about $50/month with no cable boxes required. Two xmas's ago our "big" projection TV […]
Comcast is going bye-bye
I've added a new gallery, Cafe Press, which shows all the designs I've created for the products I sell on my Cafe Press site. These are pretty simplistic, except for the star field, but they have to be if you're trying to make designs for shirts and other prints for […]
Non-techie web site updates
I’ve opened a little shop on CafePress called Go Geek Early. I’ve made a few small designs and I’m working on some more. This is just a way to generate a little extra cash to help, for example, get my kid a beater car while she’s up at college. It’s […]
CafePress: Go Geek Early
I’ve just read that Google has signed an agreement with Twitter to include tweets in their search results. Now, I think Google has done some pretty clever things so far such as Google Maps. But while I have no problem with Google adding features like this to their search engine, […]
