I just have to laugh…

If you read this regularly you have seen me chronicle the issues I’ve been having around the house lately. First, the gears in the garage door opener stripped. Then, my hard drive died in my computer. Then, my sump pump wouldn’t shut off. Do you think that was the end of my issues? Earlier in [...]

Lots of contacts

Jon and I have been talking with a lot of people lately about Firefox, and extensions. We have been discussing developing an extension for AllSportsMarket.com. This may have fell through though since we haven’t heard back from them in a week. We’ve been talking with weather.com about switching feeds with them. We’ve been talking with [...]

Travel

Another day older

I turn 29 today. In the past birthdays have never been a big deal to me. Just another day gone by. This time I’m really starting to feel older. I’ve been at my job for 9 years, I’ve been married 6, and now we have a baby on the way. I guess I’m becoming that [...]

When it rains…

It pours. I guess its the time of year when everything decides its had enough. First, my garage door opener broke, then last week I lost the harddrive on my computer. Now, after raining all night my sump pump decided it didn’t want to shut off. Sure it didn’t cost me much to fix these [...]

Camcorder revisited

I’ve mentioned here before that Rachel and I have been looking at camcorders lately. We stumbled upon a good deal over the weekend. The Panasonic we had been looking at is usually $349 dollars, but Sears had them on sale for $299. Turns out the store we were at didn’t have any, but they did [...]
