A trip down memory lane…here is a book that I read several times back in grade school in the 70s. It’s stuck in my mind all these years. The title is “Lizard Music,” by Daniel Pinkwater, and the name is an accurate description, and the book is absolutely bizarre - in a very […]

I’ve learned, since arriving in Montana, that there are only three types of vehicles that are acceptable by the locals: SUVs, trucks, and Subarus. And I have long wanted an SUV of some sort: my dream-vehicle is a Ford Escape, white with black trim. Those are a bit out of my price range […]

If you plan on having a New Year’s Eve party - or attending one - you may be able to pick up some good tips from this site. It even has all of the lyrics to “Auld Lang Syne!”

One of my favorite movies is “It’s A Wonderful Life.” Probably on your list, too, right? Ever wonder what it might look like if the character of George Bailey was portrayed not by Jimmy Stewart, but rather by the wondrous creation we call the Internet? Wonder no more! (via)

*bump to top* I’m addicted to the mini-video capability of my new phone…just can’t stop taking those wonderful little 15-second clips! Here’s a little something that I grabbed off the TV earlier today to express my feelings towards my blog-buddies…

Enjoying my new phone immensely; been poking around to find resources for tips, tools, and stuff. First up: the Howard Forums for LG phones; chock full of advice and helpful threads. Some skins for the phone, which I probably won’t use, but seem cool to some degree. Info about hooking up your […]

“Wow. Now I have four children. You will be called — ‘Stitchface’.” Well, not exactly, but I’m telling ya, receiving my new phone today from the FedEx guy was almost as wondrous, amazing, joyous, etc, as when our first-born arrived. My sweet, sweet LG VX-8100, how I love thee…activated, got all […]

Yes, yes, the LG 9800 is indeed a thing of beauty…but I just don’t think that I can get past the “form factor.” Having the phone keys on the outside of the phone - unprotected - is just weird now, after having experienced the joy of the clam-shell style flip-phones for the last […]

I watched “From Dusk Till Dawn” last week for the first time, and was absolutely amazed. See, that’s the thing about Tarantino…until I saw “Pulp Fiction,” it never even occurred to me that I might enjoy a film about a washed-up boxer, drug-using overdosers, and wise-talking hit men. And until I saw “Jackie […]

You know that wonderful phone I drooled over yesterday? At the Verizon Wireless store, it’s retailing for $299.99. But after logging in to my VZW account this morning, guess what? There’s a $100 online discount, and I qualify for the “new every 2″ discount, too…which means that I could purchase it for […]

Stopped in at the local Verizon store today to take a look at the new LG VX-9800 phone…and once the store staff mopped up my drool, I snapped this picture:

Full keyboard, 1.3 mp camera w/flash, MP3 player, Bluetooth, mini-SD slot…nice. I tested the Web 2.0 feature, and punched up my site, and was quite […]

Strolling through a store last week, just poking around, and suddenly I came to a full stop. Look at what is on sale right now for only $29.95: the Atari Flashback! I wonder if any of the kids today would enjoy it - it’s so different from everything that they’ve experienced, maybe they […]

Whoa — somehow my fifth anniversary just sorta slipped by me on Wednesday! I am now officially into Year #6 of “Better Living Through Blogging!” Do you see any wrinkles or gray hair on this page? Heh. And yes, it’s a bit schmaltzy, but here’s the link to what I posted […]

The Accidental Lawyer needs some help: he has to choose a vacation in either London or Iceland. To me, this is a no-brainer: Iceland. My passion for cold, ice, and snow are coloring my opinion, to a degree, but really, what’s the point of visiting London? Nice place, but there really isn’t […]

You guys are really great — the number of comments in the Identify post a few weeks ago really surprised me. I don’t know exactly why I posted it — it was early, I was getting ready to go to work, and I just wanted to put up something simple and short. The […]
