My Life Poster
I’ve been struggling to find the time to finish this simple project for about a week now. I believe it really should take about 20-30 min. if you’ve got good images that are ready to go. I however was not so lucky. I had to alter in some way or another all 98 photos to get the exact look I wanted. Due to the fact that I have several thousand photos in iPhoto, I had to decide early on what 98 photos whould win a coveted spot in my life poster. The easiest solution I could come up with was to pick 98 photos per year. Sort of like a poster sized yearbook. So, in this case I chose the year...

Can’t help but get through this day without remembering what Groundhog Day means to me. I was senior in high school when this movie was released and it still holds up after nearly 12 years.

Anyway, about 6 months ago, I attempted to connect my TiVo box using an unnamed wireless adapter that just simply failed to deliver. No matter what I tried, my TiVo just couldn’t see my network....
Read MoreMy Ten Favorite Things
I was inspired to write this post after a recent visit to Mike Davidson’s blog. My intention here is to list my top ten favorite things. This list represents what I consider to be the most useful items in my arsenal. The list will undoubtedly change over time and does not warrant mention of the obvious like family and friends. This is merely a list of my favorite gadgets and gizmos. This list is in no particular order. 2003 Honda Accord EX – The all-weather floormats keep everything nice and new. Still wish I would have opted for the V-6 though. TiVo – I can’t imagine what I...
