Wednesday site stats
For some reason my Nintendo Mouse is making another round on the internet. That’s kind of good because the original set of links in don’t count toward my Technorati ranking. My “authority” on Technorati has been slipping because it has been 6 months since a post that was heavily linked to. Authority counts only links …
iPhone vs. Treo 680
I’m definitely an early adopter. But there has been no salivation for the iPhone on my blog. Why? Because my last 3 phones have been better than an iPhone. Here’s why… The keyboard. My 680 has a touch screen – and i use it often enough. It comes with a stylus too. But most of …
Net worth for July 2007
I’m really starting to get old. I’ve been encouraging Karna and Cena to max their contributions to their IRA’s. I spend my free time working on the house. Instead of TV, video games, or children my time is filled by work. And now i’m about to blog about my net worth. My assets vs. liabilities …
Soundwave – my favorite original Transformer
I guess i didn’t give it much thought before the release of the new Transformers movie. Apparently Michael Bay wanted to have the physics of the Transformers seem plausible. Hence, Megatron transformed into a spaceship instead of a pistol. He even changed Optimus Prime from a semi rig with a flat front to a “hog …
Sunday’s day of unrest
We got cracking early on Sunday. In order for me to install the monitor heater in the house we need to finish the trim along the baseboard and may as well paint the room. So we installed 1×12 pine for a bold baseboard and bought some paint from the hardware store that had been mixed …
World travel
I filled in at the bike shop for a little while so Mike could run his cousin to the airport. A 30 minute task turned into over 3 hours. We’ve been busy. Swift sales and many repairs. Today we sold a guy a chain for a BMX bike. He was from Juneau and he said …
Yesterday
Cena hasn’t been feeling well lately so we skipped our morning mike walk. I tanned and ate Golden Grahams again. At work i’m scrambling to get a concessions building with restrooms as well as a separate skate park designed and built. During my lunch break i helped Sheena and Orin clean some things out of …
Alexa for Firefox
Oh boy. For those of you just waiting every week for my Wednesday site stats (read: me) a new development is bound to shake things up a bit. Alexa has finally released a toolbar for Firefox. Up until now only Internet Explorer users that have the Alexa toolbar installed have counted to impact how Alexa …
Eight years and counting
Today marks my completion of eight years of employment with the City of Petersburg. I remember those first few days in town so well. I arrived on the ferry at about 5:15 on a Friday (the 16th of July 1999). Since the offices were shut down i couldn’t get my keys. It was me, my …
cloth and calorie
Today i wore jeans that i bought at Ross in Scottsdale with a blue button up Columbia Sportswear shirt from REI. I ate Golden Grahams for breakfast (with skim milk). Lunch was from Hammer & Wikan convenience store – a sub sandwich of ham and salami with cheese and mustard on white bread. I had …
