Leo Laporte posted this http://leoville.com/buzz-kill blog post a few hours ago. I’ve been following Leo since I was first introduced to “The Screensavers” on TechTV. I’ve listened to him rant and rave about the policy of this or that ISP, heard him jump on the bandwagon for every new and shiny thing that someone created [...]

July 4th Fireworks
An all too oft recurring theme for me seems to be that of being late. So it is with that comment that I bring you a picture taken almost a month ago now. I took this picture of the Brooklyn, WI fireworks from our living room I didn’t decide to take any pictures until the [...]
Another morning in Wisconsin
Last night we had some awesome lighting storms in southern Wisconsin, which usually means the next morning we will have a really beautiful sunrise. This morning did not disappoint. Now I just need to remember to put some mosquito repellant next to the door to the deck for next time.
Organized, documented, backed up, online.
As the idea of an Android phone has been hanging out in my hindbrain, it has been bumping into other ideas that tend to hang out there. Things like going paperless, ubiquitous capture, OCR, FOSS, NAS, backups… So begins a bit of almost stream of consciousness writing on things that are rubbing elbows in the [...]

Don't do like I done.
Trust me. You really don’t want to lash out in anger or frustration and punch an inanimate object. This pic was taken about a week after I decided to punch the door on our refrigerator due to being…. upset. Yes, it hurt, yes I iced it right away. The fun thing was that it didn’t [...]
Another itch….
Now another itch is begging to be scratched. It’s another rabbit hole down which much time and energy can be dumped. Can I switch from a Microsoft Windows Vista on my desktop to Ubuntu? I am writing this blog post from my old desktop which is currently running Ubuntu, and I am tempted. Oh my [...]
I feel the itch again…
I am getting that familiar itch again. The one where I start thinking about what tools will make getting organized easier/better, instead of just doing that I am supposed to already be doing. This is such a pretty trap to fall into. Because while you are exploring all the options and weighing the pros and [...]
It WAS springtime in Wisconsin….
And then last night it snowed an inch or two. Our little flower survived though, we just had to dig a little to find it.
