As Jesus came too and looked around the dark cave he was in, he realized he screwed up. When he was Yahweh and picking special abilities for this mortal form he had chosen subtle powers that would impress the primitives, but he didn’t think to include anything that would be useful for getting out of Read More …

Electronics’ distortion field
That’s what I find myself in today. An EDF. It began on my way into work. My increasingly long commute as I’ve yet to find a good way to get from Powell to I-270 at 7:20 am. At least it’s fantastic audio book time. Last night, knowing I only had 11 minutes left on the Read More …
Perhaps this is the time…
Good intentions, lacking motivation and time. Results…sporadic. Perhaps aligned in all things this time, leading to, increased verbosity and deeper insights into my mind.
Yep, it’s Monday!
This evening my wife asked if we had any Jack Daniels. Not to drink mind you, but for some science experiment. Ya…I have no idea what science experiment calls for Jack Daniels. Anyway, I didn’t think we did, but I thought I’d check. I opened the alcohol cabinet and said to myself “oh ya…this is Read More …
Things that baffle me… July 2014 edition
When Apple first introduced the Lightning cable, the interwebs were afire with people bitching about paying $29 for a cable. Soon prices dropped, 3rd parties ponied up for licencing and now you can get Lighting cables from Amazon for under $15. Still people bitch about the price. The cable has 2 gigs of ram in Read More …
Winter Driving Experimentation
One thing I’ve noticed and been playing with since we’ve had so much snow recently is the whole VSA system (vehicle stability assist). I expected that it would try to stop me from having fun. And it does. That makes sense and I’m okay with it. I just turn it off when I want to Read More …
Google Apps – my first FAIL
I use Google for quite a few things. They are my email provider, picture storage service, calendar service etc. I have GoogleApps for my domain wirewoods.com. Usually they pretty damn good and this is the first WTF moment I’ve had with them. I had added storage for my account via Google Storage. It is tied Read More …
Adventures in poop: The Shower of Poop
It’s been quite awhile since I’ve had any excremental disasters, and I kind of liked it. Okay, I liked it quite a bit. But in the back of my mind I knew I wasn’t out of the woods yet. Enter Wednesday night. I’m happily doing the dishes when I hear Greyson scream from the great Read More …
The glorious world of the iPhone and the “internet of things” in my life….so far.
I’ve jumped on the bandwagon of being able to control and monitor the things in my life with my iPhone. This is beyond simple data entry. All of these things are direct connections to my iPhone. Some, like sleep and weight are collected automatically after the fact, but most are real time. These are the Read More …
I just bought a machete on Amazon!
Amazon is great! I never thought about buying a machete on Amazon before. But then I didn’t really need a machete before now either. I have these nasty vines I need to kill off on the trees, and while I have wrong tools that could do the job poorly, I thought “hey, a Read More …
