I’m not sure how old you are, my reader, but I’m old enough that when I was a kid we did not have video games in the house, or cable television, or VCRs – let alone a DVD player. When I got home from school, I went outside and played hard until it was time […]

Ebay is dead, as far as I am concerned. Not only are the fees too high, the regions features of the site are weak. Shipping costs have all but obliterated the value of auctions via Ebay as well. When I started asking my friends where they have turned to buy and sell items, or to […]

I finally bought a new digital camera. I have been putting it off, because the digital camera I bought in 2000 actually takes better pictures than the newer cameras owned by my friends and family. I attribute that to the high quality of the Olympus D-490. It was pretty much the best of the best […]

I’m working on a birthday party invitation/flyer for a friend of a friend. It’s a small, one-time job and we’re doing the whole thing via e-mail. I will even deliver the file electronically. It’s a fun job. I am taking the Cat on a Hot Tin Roof movie poster and putting this guy’s mother’s hear […]

I have an irrational attachment to my old digital camera. I know how to use it so well, so thoroughly, that I think I am afraid to start over with a new camera. I have an old Olympus and even though it is only 2.1 MegaPixils, I know how to make it sing and can […]

I always liked Netflix. There were a few glitches, yes. Sometimes it felt like there as a conspiracy as to who was actually getting the new movies first. Every now and then I felt like it took too long for the warehouse to log my movies back in for return. Other than that, it was […]

I’ve been missing my glass top range ever since moving into my current home. I loved how easy it was to clean and how quickly it heated and cooled back down to a safe temperature. I’ve been thinking seriously about upgrading the stove here and going back to a glass top. That is, until I […]

Remember back in the days when Napster was totally free and music downloads and file sharing were both still in that grey area between right and wrong? I still remember a few of friends going all day and night downloading binges when they found out that the file sharing was going to become legally regulated. […]

Somehow, yet again, we have ended up with too many televisions in the house. Three TVs are just too many for a household with only three people living in it. Plus, I have three more in the storage unit. I’m not sure how it even happens. And, I know I have two away on Freecycle […]

I got prepared to scan in all of my tax information from 2006 and the documents I need to file for 2007 when I realized my scanner was no longer working. My dad had agreed to do my taxes for me (he is a tax professional) and wanted everything by tonight.
I checked all of my […]
