If ever you have wanted to buy the domain of YOUR name (example: jamestaylor.com), now would be a good time. Yahoo is selling domain names for just $2.99 per year. That is really cheap. You can search available domain names here. Note: You don’t have to use
This morning I got downtown a little after six. The sun was just peaking over the east mountains and casting long shadows across the city. I stopped by Walgreen’s to grab some orange juice and say hi to Ellie, my usual early morning cashier. All the tourists were recovering
When I was in high school, my two favorite styles of music were Country and Hip-Hop/Rap. I liked most of the music that came thru in those genres. However, both have gone down in quality. My two complaints: Country music has become a contest of cliches. This makes for
One of the best parts about owning a Mac computer is the amazing choice of freeware that is available. (Freeware is free software.) These are usually from developers that write an application, and then just share it with the rest of the Mac community. But sometimes it is also big
Yesterday my grandpa asked me if I could set him up to do some online banking transfers. After working with it for a while, I was not able to do it. However, it was not due to anything on our side. The bank had made some mistakes in the last
I just didn’t like the idea of a ear wax post being my most recent post, so I thought that I would add a couple more musical gems that I have been listening to lately. I like these songs because they are modern acoustic guitar music, but have both
In the past, I have been accused of living the life of an old man. it could be my 9 o’clock bedtime. Or maybe my like for artists like Willie Nelson, Frank Sinatra, and especially James Taylor. Or possibly it is because the mini fridge in my office has
I’ve written before at how much I prefer Google Maps over other services like Mapquest. And now it seems that Google maps are the talk of the town. (Because of my mention,no doubt.) But there are some other really neat things that Google can do. SMS Google is
I’ve made another change to this blog, this one a bit more obvious than the last. I changed the layout and look of the site. I did this for a couple reasons. I just wanted a more advanced look than it was before. I’m still fine tuning this
I have added a feature to the blog that I hope will be enjoyable. If you look at the top of the sidebar on the right, you will see “Mitch Hedberg Quote”, followed by a quote. Those quotes are from the acts of my favorite comedian, Mitch Hedberg. (Well, I
Well, as you can tell, I didn’t do as well as I thought I would with blogging from Europe. It was very much a whirlwind trip. We didn’t slow down long enough to even write. We would wake up in one country, and be four countries away by
I am in the South Kensington area of London. Jamie has been living here for school and we are in a hotel on the same block. This is a very nice part of London, and probably the favorite area that I’ve seen in both times I’ve been here.
It’s obvious that cell phones have changed the way that the world operates quite a bit. In business and personal lives, people are more reachable and more productive in places and times that they would not have been before. But coming into the new, usually means changing or losing
I read the local, national, and world news every morning. Maybe that is an old guy thing to do, but I like to keep informed and enjoy taking part in intelligent conversation. Like everyone, I form opinions while I read. Any man who will marry the runaway bride deserves what
Last night I checked off an item in my “Things to do before I die” list. I went to watch Willie Nelson in concert. I was really excited to go to this concert. In fact, I grew out a mustache just for the occasion so that I could fit in
Earlier I wrote a post talking about a pet peeve that I have. I mentioned that I didn’t like the phrase, “I have a question for you. Call me Back”. I basically mentioned that when I get a message like that on my machine, I usually don’t call
