What, Me Pregnant? A For Better or for Worse Collection As always, Lynn Johnston’s cartoon chronicle of family life is one of the best comic offerings out there. I have to admire the fact that the characters have grown up with me and at the same rate as me. That was a pretty gutsy approach … Continue reading What, Me Pregnant? A For Better or for Worse Collection
Thriving on Vague Objectives : A Dilbert Collection (Dilbert) Another winner from Scott Adams, there is nothing I don’t find funny about Dilbert cartoons. That Scott is still able to remain so in touch with the comedy that is the modern workplace is amazing to me!
I had a problem where my Outlook PST was duplicated and showed up twice in the “All Mail Folders” list. I found a similar issue on the Computing.net site (read it here) but I could not post a follow up. In case the link fails, here is a quick summary of the original problem and … Continue reading Outlook Duplicate Personal Folders
Middle Age Spread : A For Better or for Worse Collection I can’t believe that I read this comic strip every day and can still find these collections where I have not seen any of the stips before! These ones are from a time in my life where I did not have quite as much … Continue reading Middle Age Spread : A For Better or for Worse Collection
Contact by Carl Sagan Well written and consistent with Dr. Sagan’s espoused views in his other works. The movie that it inspired was similar but, of course, much more superficial as movies are wont to be. I would highly recommend this as an intriguing look at some of the issues and implications that would surely … Continue reading Contact
 *Update* check out this posting. I do NOT recommend this router. I’m sitting here now with a new D-Link DI-524 on my desk. I ordered this to replace my venerable WRT54G. The WRT54G is generally a well regarded wireless router but if you search my blog for “WRT54G” you’ll see some of the interesting issues … Continue reading D-Link DI-524
 *Update* check out this posting. I do NOT recommend this router. Just finished configuring my DI-524, WEP enabled, MAC filtered and all and so far I’m very impressed. Performance seems to be MUCH better than my Linksys WRT54G. I have a machine in my den at the front of the house (about 45 feet from … Continue reading D-Link DI-524 – so far I’m impressed
It’s Not Funny If I Have to Explain It : A Dilbert Treasury. Like many of Scott Adams’ “Dilbert” books now, there is a fair amount of repetition in this treasury. But the comments after each of the cartoons makes this worthwhile. As scary as it can be to wander around in this realm, I … Continue reading It’s Not Funny If I Have to Explain It : A Dilbert Treasury
Revolt In 2100 And Methuselahs Children by Robert A. Heinlein. I’ve always enjoyed Heinlein’s works – his libertarian ideals and positive, if not conflict free, future visions have always made for appealing literature. Also, I really like the fact that much of his work is based in a consistent universe where one work leads into … Continue reading Revolt In 2100 And Methuselahs Children
I was over at a friend’s house the other day and he was pointing out an owl (one of several) that he had in his backyard. From his deck I could eventually see the owl perched up 50 feet or so in one of the trees at the far end of the yard. He handed … Continue reading Canon 15×50 Image Stabalized Binoculars
