Personal

I think I recognized a slight change in me tonight. Something that I have intellectually grasped for quite a while, but perhaps not till recently have I really lived it out. I was in the bathroom, prior to our gig tonight, and I had a sort of flashback. Instantly, I was whisked back to many…

I recently wiped my hard drive, and transfered all the files back to the clean HD, and have experienced the usual minor bumps. (A few preferences were deleted, had to confirm a few software registrations, etc.) One of those was our digital magazine reader. It will not allow me to access my magazines anymore. I…

War is ugly. We know that intellectually. Most of us understand that through the images we see on the evening news. Those of us who have been around for generations have seen war after ugly war. Men fighting men. Death. Bloodshed. Crying. Loss. But how much greater is the ugliness when it is brother fighting…

Well, I spent all last night (since the hard drive got here around 3:30pm or so) moving my entire hard drive over to the external one, and then erasing/reformatting my internal one so I could move everything back again!!! (That takes a long time.) So, at 2am, I headed to bed, leaving the computer to…

Apple is celebrating another milestone. This time, it’s ONE BILLION songs. That’s 1,000,000,000. More zeros than I will know in a lifetime. Way more. But, they’re sharing. They will again be giving away an iPod every 100,000 songs. Everytime the pass another 100,000, the purchaser of that particular download will receive a free 4GB iPod…

We finally have some SNOW around here! It snowed all yesterday and last night and it’s still snowing. A couple inches out there on the ground. It has been the absolute craziest winter!!! I like snow. I miss it. Glad to see it back. The photo above was taked at a motel we stayed at…

I think I was up with the groundhog today. I could have either stayed up last night after midnight to get some extra stuff done in this short week we have (we’re doing our music for a retreat this weekend) or I could get up early today. For some reason, I chose the latter. The…

Jen and I grabbed the laptop at about 10pm EST, finally able to watch the state of the union address. I figured by then it was probably over, and available somewhere on the internet. I did a quick search, and sure enough, at whitehouse.gov, I found a link to either the Windows Media version or…

I keep trying to think of people who could benefit from this… I figured I might try posting this here. Here’s the deal. We have a cell phone. We don’t use it. We used to. But now we don’t. Our cell plan ($39.99/mo) gives us 450 daytime minutes, the balance of which “rolls over” to…

I had to post this here, since my Newsvine page is not available to the public yet. (See Other Stuff I’ve Been Doing…) I’ll add links to that when it is publci. But for now, here is the article I posted there last night, after telling my story on my other two blogs. (It is…
