I’ve been out of the habit of blogging again, so I need to get back to it.  My vast audience (hi Becky) has missed out on summaries of our Disney trip, a dance recital, some conferences and a getaway weekend with my family.  I like having the history out here of what’s been done andContinue reading “My Digital Life”

  Last Friday I headed back to my alma mater (FFHS) to serve as the guest lecturer to three classes taught by the Business teacher.  She was actually not there that day, so I was working with a substitute who happened to be the father of one of my classmates, Erin Mason.  My goal wasContinue reading “Teaching School”

As I write each one of my blog entries, under the title there’s a selection for category, so I feel like I should fill that out each time even though I’m sure no one goes through my entries based on category.  This categorization process seems to be the hardest part about writing a blog entry once IContinue reading “Paying Some Bills”

I have more interesting items to blog about, but I haven’t made the time to write them up in an entry.  I just wanted to write a quick entry to link to my blog posting on the Microsoft CRM blog.  So if anyone wonders what I do all day – they can read this post and my bioContinue reading “Blogging about a Blog”

I have to make a quick write-up praising my new cell phone – the Motorola Q.  I swtiched from Verizon to Sprint after I was able to get out of my Verizon contract without paying the penalty (apparently not getting service at your house for 2 hours with no new towers in the foreseeable futureContinue reading “An Ode to Q”

I was given a LifeCam VX-6000, so I had to try it out.  Here I am at work, looking like a dork.  It appears I have similar luck getting rid of animated bugs on my screen as I do getting rid of real bugs in my back yard. > I deleted the photo since IContinue reading “Say Cheese”

Quick entry – I’m on a plane heading back from San Diego and I think it’s cool that I can blog from my mobile phone. I must say I’ve used it extensively this week and it’s been good. So other than the pesky problems of no service at home, the fact I can’t hear itContinue reading “Mobile phone”

No, I’m not into Dungeons and Dragons or Harry Potter – QAM is quadrature amplitude modulation (thanks Wikipedia).  It is the signal that displays HDTV over cable.  I found out last week that my small town is now offering HDTV for the local channels.  I didn’t know this before and was under the impression thatContinue reading “In search of QAM”

My prognostication abilities have never been in such high order as this year in baseball.  Here’s a sampling:   1) I will do well in my fantasy baseball league of which I’m the commissioner (I finished dead last) 2) Francisco Liriano won’t be that good this year (He was 12-3 with a 2.17 ERA) 3)Continue reading “The End of Baseball”
