Today’s post will be short.
I spent most of the day finding and playing with themes. I’m still not totally happy with this theme but it will serve well for the time being.
We had carpet installed in the master bedroom today. Looks good and the pad feels really nice. But it rained again (third day in [...]
I wish, oh I wish, that I knew more about wordpress than I do.
I know quite a bit about it. Obviously, I’m posting on this blog, and that’s pretty good in itself. I can modify a theme *some*, which is pretty good. But I’m not where I would like to be. It’s like they say [...]
A home in Atlanta, Georgia, rebuilt by the designers on Extreme MakeOver: Home Edition, has become the latest victim of the foreclosure crisis. It’s really maddening. All this time and money was given to the family to give them a large, sparkling new house, the Harper family used the home as collateral for a $450,000 [...]
Online shopping is an easy and convenient way to purchase things. However, in this era of identity theft, it’s also risky, to a degree. No one wants to have their identity stolen. Identity theft can, at best, cause major headaches, and at worst, destroy a life.
People have been shopping from home since long before the [...]
I’ve read plenty of news out on the internet lately about Cuil, a new search engine that wants to compete with the big guys like Google, Yahoo, or MSN. I have mixed feelings about this.
Cuil was developed by several “Google refugees” – ex-Google employees. I think it’s fantastic that other internet start-ups are attempting to [...]
A few days ago, we got a card from a relative on my dad’s side of the family – a second or third double cousin, something like that. My dad’s family has been close over the years. They are from Nebraska, and all return to Nebraska every few years for a family reunion. I’ve always [...]
I have many, many photos to show you. But, given that I have so many photos, I’m convinced that there must be an easy(er) way to watermark them. Previously, I used GIMP to watermark my photos, which works, but it can sometimes be slow – especially if that is all I’m doing to the photo. [...]
Computers have changed our world so much. I could probably name a thousand ways that computers have changed society, and you probably could too. But for now I am just going to look at one: education.
Fifty years ago, the path to success was very cut-and-dried. Graduate high school, go to college, get your degree and [...]
Here’s two blog posts that I found today, quite by accident.
The first, from The Greasy Spoon Cafe, is really quite a funny story.
The second, from Art Is My Sunshine, is just… well, cute. It contains a cute cute photo of a cat. Be warned, though, it’s LONG!
I still haven’t gotten to the bottom of what has been causing all my theme problems.
I changed it to this theme, “come my lady”, and it seems to be okay on this theme. But the problem on my other themes is not yet solved. Plus, now the problem seems to be extending to the default [...]
