Blackberry Torch

So I volunteered myself to test the Blackberry Torch 9800 for my work and make sure it doesn’t crater all the time and see if it is, indeed, the best blackberry ever. And it is – but this is not totally about the Torch so much as it is about my iPod.

For a [...]

Drake Asleep

These were famous last words.

Many of you who know me personally have known that for about 9 months I’ve been OCD to get a dog. I was bound and determined to buy a purebred boxer from a breeder. I had even picked out the breeder from here in CO to [...]

My grandfather on my dad’s side was a mechanical engineer for several companies, including Coors (he designed and built some of the vats here in the Colorado location AND patented a crane arm in the process). He warned me about something when I was a kid, and said that [...]

Well, it has been quite a crazy few months, leading up to a precipitous dropoff on my blog posts. Sorry for that folks, hopefully it will pick up again in June once my head is somewhat out of the grinder when we’ve finished off all our conversions. We have a fairly large project at [...]

I love having children, but occasionally we have strange issues. Strange issues to address AND not crack up about. Enter in my children yesterday:

Crying child #2 - “Daddy! He hurt my head” Child #1 – shouting from other room - “No I didn’t he fell” Child #2 – not [...]

The Rocket Summer – Of Men and Angels – Album Review

The Rocket Summer - Of Men and Angels

When I first discovered The Rocket Summer (AKA Bryce Avery) on eMusic quite a few years ago, I found poppy and irresistible piano based music built on a not-quite-in-your-face-faith-based platform. His last album, Do You Feel, changed up his M.O. a little bit (I reviewed it here), [...]

So I promised more updates on the MoneyHot Tub a while ago, but I’ve been so swamped with the thing plus a massive project at work that I’ve not had a lot of time to post. So, here is an update + more fun too!

Plast-Aid

Once we got things going with the tub, my ghetto [...]

Sometimes, you get awesome inside jokes at work, and mostly they are funny enough to share amongst your compatriots at work. You know the players, you know the scenes so it’s funnier. Sometimes, it’s so funny that it is meant to be shared with the outside world. It’s probably not nearly as funny [...]

Fireflight – For Those Who Wait – Album Review

Fireflight - For Those Who Wait

I almost broke the cardinal rule I have for an album, which is to not tell someone what I think about it until I listen to it headphoned. And it was almost on this album that I did it, and that would have been a big shame, because this [...]

Talking to hear ourselves…

Sometimes I really truly wonder about some the awesome financial “sources” trusted by the big banks. When you talk to super wealthy people, they typically always say the same thing: It takes a lot of long hard work, buy low, sell high. It’s not complicated to gain wealth, it just takes a long [...]
