After checking to be sure our trusty old Sony KV-40XBR800 could handle the output of the new Apple TV (it does, though with conversion from 720p or 480p to 1080i), I went ahead and ordered a new Apple TV so I can play Rocketboom and Terra: The Nature of Our World HD videos on our […]
It’s been too long since I wrote anything meaningful hear, sorry. I’ll make a determination to write more frequently this year. To celebrate the winter season I decided to work on some of Erci‘s honey-do-list for me a bit, so I began wiring up and connecting all the unconnected speakers in our house. It’s what […]
Gah, I find myself once again dipping a toe into the murky waters that make up the Windows(tm) experience. I consider myself extraordinarily fortunate that I have not had to touch any MicroSoft crap for many years now… but I inherited an old Compaq desktop and my boss suggested we put XP on it so […]
So I had no interest in getting myself an iPod nor any other portable music player since I left the military. I had a Walkman, and later a portable CD player – but then I stopped traveling regularly and no longer needed portable music. I listen to music all the time on my computer, home […]
So for about ten years I have had sinuses blocked pretty regularly. I have gone to over a dozen medical doctors and perhaps a half-dozen nurse-practitioners in at least two different medical clinics (changed from FemCare to Herndon Family Medicine years back following changed insurance coverage). I have made appointments and been seen for sinus […]
Home Again, Jiggety-Jig. A week in the Bahamas was nice, but I had enjoyed Curacao, Belize, and Cozumel much, much more. Nothing horrendously wrong in Nassau, but nothing overwhelmingly nice about it either. Erci wanted to declare a few extra pounds of body fat at customs because we ate pretty well most of the time […]
We got out of Washington National Airport just fine on Saturday, transferred in Charlotte flawlessly (as usual) and landed in Nassau, Bahamas with no problems. This time US Air did not lose any luggage and we were able to get to our hotel, the Wyndham Resort Nassau with no problems. Word of advice, don’t arrive […]
Nextel has finally pissed me off. They are apparently gradually replacing their towers and connectivity in favor of Sprint PCS connectivity. Gradually my reception in areas I live, work, and play is getting worse and worse with Nextel. I am very sad by this, because they are about the only mobile phone company that apparently […]
A friend posted this video on her live journal, and it is a really cool idea. I dug a little deeper and discovered that there is a world peace movement based on one to one connections between people; kind of like Soka Gakkai Buddhism. FreeHugsCampaign.org If nothing else it will make you smile to watch […]
Virginia holds elections every year. Typically federal offices are done on even years just like the rest of the country; but state office elections are held on odd years. In 2007 there will be re-elections for all the House of Delegates seats and all the State Senator seats.
