Willpower Follow-up

tom | February 26, 2007

Got a new entertainment unit yesterday, unpacked the TV and, Voila!, I’m all about LCD baby! Of course, the TV did not include an HDMI cable so I ordered one last night, hoping to improve the picture quality even further. I suppose there’s a reason why LCD TVs don’t get as large as Projection or [...]

I Have The Most Willpower Ever!

tom | February 21, 2007

I’ve been eying LCD TVs for a while now but the price has just been too high for me. I finally saw a reasonable deal on a 46″ flat panel LCD and decided to order it. I figured, the “big” TV in my house is 12 years old and 27″ and with all of the [...]

Hanging With Our Long Lost Cousin

Okay, so he wasn’t “lost”, but with our busy lives and 900 miles separating us, we all let far too much time pass without hooking up. Cousin Bryan was our version of “Fun Bob” when we were growing up. Although he is 7 years older than me, he and Joe are only a year apart; [...]

I’m shocked that I’m not more shocked that Verisign was able to get away with ripping off the general public in [...]

Making A Rag Ball

tom | February 8, 2007

As most of you know I’m constantly tapping veteran parents for tips about anything I might encounter with my own kids. I ran into a friend of mine last week who is coaching a baseball team for his kids and I listened closely as he described how much he enjoys the “task”. It turns out [...]

Superbowl in Bear Valley Springs

tom | February 6, 2007

For Superbowl this year we headed out to my pal Jaime’s place for his first of what should be an annual party in his new house. I don’t know for sure but my guess is that he had 100 or more people over. It was great! Since Green Bay had a terrible year, I didn’t [...]
