Technical insanity at its best!

Tesla Concert Rocked

The Tesla concert last night at Prairie Knights was great. I’m not a big Tesla fan but they put on a hell of a show. This was the first time I had been to a concert in the casino pavilion and I have to admit it was a little smaller than I imagined but the […]

Our Pool and Bar…

Everyone is always asking to see pictures of our bar downstairs and the newly re-done pool in our backyard, so here you go: Technorati : backyard, bar, fun, house, life, party, pool

Want to Buy a Kirby?

Today at lunch I got attacked by a door to door Kirby vacuum cleaner man. He kinda stole my whole lunch hour although I was impressed with the demo just not the price. I mean you can afford a $1900 vacuum? I don’t care if it has a lifetime warranty. Who wants the same old-looking […]

What will be in the next 100 years?

Have you ever noticed that whatever year or decade we are in, we think that we are the most advanced, technologically speaking, of any other previous year or decade. This makes sense because it is true. But what is really amazing is take that line of thinking and apply it to years and decades back. […]

Internet is Broken

Is it just me or is there a lot of stuff broken on the Internet tonight? I’ve noticed a high number of dead links, my sharebuilder account is down, WordPress is not working right, and everything is just really slow… I feel like I’ve been transported back 10 years to dial-up and incomplete sites and […]

Why not to raise the minimum wage

Right now, Congress is deciding on whether to raise the minimum wage for the country and by how much. I don’t think they should raise it at all and here is why: We want to raise the minimum wage to help out those that are trying to make a living on minimum wage but raising […]

Just Give Me a Choice

Last night I sat down to spec out a new computer. Not that I really need one but I wanted to know what I could get for lets say under $400. I went to HP and Dell and looked at their entry level machines and added at least 1GB of ram with an AMD processor […]

It Needed to be Said…

This is going to raise some eyebrows and get me all kinds of comments, but it needs to be said. I was reading the paper this morning (yeah I don’t know how we starting getting it but we do occasionally, but that is another story) and I found an article talking about a memorial for […]

The Pool is Up!

Last night we tried out the pool for the first time. A little cold because it just finished filling yesterday and the boiler didn’t have any time to heat up the water yet, but it felt good after a one hundred degree day in the sun. Hopefully on Saturday we will have a little pool […]

Pool liner is in!

Now the water filling begins. Two hoses on two different spigots have been running for about 3 hours now and there is maybe 4 feet in the deep end. Looks like I’ll be waking up in the middle of the night to turn it off at the correct level. Tomorrow they put in the steps […]
