There was once a time in my life when I spent way too much on shoes. Now, I spend way too much on gadgets. My Zi8 arrived safely today and after letting it charge, I started playing. I’m fairly impressed with it so far. I hooked it up to the television to check the output. I could hear the high pitched noise everyone was talking about. I want to ( Read more... )

We are venturing into new worlds at work. Well, I am running head first and dragging work by the heels with me. I have been told on more than one occasion that when I decide to leave, the person that replaces me will hate me because of all of the work I have created. Perhaps I should see if there is a way to make sure that they can only hire a ( Read more... )

This if my first update from my new laptop. I have reloaded the OS and added a number of programs to it. Things seem to be running nicely. I only have a few more programs to load and all will be nice.

I was contemplating loading Vista on it but there was one particular piece of software that I was not sure whether it would work. The search results ( Read more... )

Yesterday when Josh and I came home from work, we both noticed a rancid stench in the garage. It smelled of rot and did not make us happy campers. We sniffed and searched yesterday evening and this morning. We were looking for something that may have gotten in when we had the garage door open and died. I decided that I would buy cleaning supplies ( Read more... )

So yesterday I discovered a most excellent deal on a netbook. I hemmed and hawed over it for a solid hour. For what I would need it for, it was perfect. I just couldn’t justify needing it. So when Josh finally convinced me to just get it and stop debating with myself, it was sold out. I tried to envision kicking myself in the butt for doing it, but ( Read more... )

So yeah, MJ and FF died today. Didn’t know them. I know a couple of lines to an assortment of MJ songs. Farah I was a little indifferent on. I was just young enough to miss the Charlie’s Angels generation. I knew who they were, but I didn’t really watch them.

I’ve been terrible about updating. Then again, my life has been pretty stale. My ( Read more... )

Last night when Josh finally decided that he was fed up with his computer not being fast enough, we went shopping. I of course was happy to tag along. I managed to procure a WD TV HD Media Player.

For $100 I can now play all of the videos, music and photos I have stored on my external HD on my Entertainment center. So far in the first 24 hours, I’m ( Read more... )

Well folks. I’ve been a busy bee lately. Work is keeping me busy enought that I am too tired to do much when I am home. It didn’t help that Josh was away for a week. I’ve also been silent thanks to my cable modem having issues. I am planning to take it to the cable company in the morning to swap out. Thankfully I have had my G1 for general surfing ( Read more... )

I’ve added a twitter feed back to my site. Considering a majority of my readers read via rss feeds, you probably won’t notice. That’s Ok. I forgive you.

I am going to test and see if it will do a digest of my tweets at the end of the day. Crossing fingers.

That is all.

Tomorrow is the 200th birthday of Edgar Allen Poe. He’s probably the first writer to scare me with my own imagination. I can remember being small, reading Poe and then frightening myself with my own versions of his story. Perhaps I was a little too imaginative.

So, with this very important day tomorrow, I have changed a few things on miftik.com! I ( Read more... )
