For some reason, as I’ve gotten older, handy household tips like this have drawn my attention.  I posted one myself about two months ago about using old candle wax as an air freshener.  My wife also had a good one about mildly reducing heat by putting a tea kettle over an oven burner after you’ve […]

I like candles.  Always have.  I have bought them for ages, burned a virtual infinite number of them.  Used to burn them at work too, until some moron I worked with left his burning after he left for the night, so nobody was allowed to burn candles at work.  Grr.. Heck, during my unemployment period, […]

As an Xbox owner, I’ve paid close attention to the offerings on Xbox LIVE Gold, as I’ve been a member of that since it’s inception.  My profile bears the “8” mark, which means I’ve been a member for eight years.  I was one of the people chosen from the public to test the service before […]

This week I noticed that Amazon is finally adding a much needed, and puzzlingly absent feature from their Kindles. That’s the ability to borrow a book from the public library. Long available in the Barnes & Noble Nook reader, this feature will come to Amazon’s Kindle sometime later in 2001. About bloody time! This has […]

This video interview of Duke Nukem Forever is near the start of the press rolling forwards towards the game’s release.   Definitely cool!  

I’ve been using the Firefox 4 beta builds for awhile now, and previous to an hour ago, I haven’t had any problems with them.  Beta 8 though posed a new one.  Apparently in Beta 7, they removed the “status bar”, and replaced it with the “Add-on Bar”.  Which doesn’t bother me so much, although it […]

UPDATE: This does not seem to work in Windows 8.  If anyone has an idea how to make this work in Windows 8, let me know.  Tkx. UPDATE 2: This did NOT work for me in Win8/64bit using iTunes 10.7.  However, since iTunes 11 came out, it works again with no addtl changes.  Can’t explain […]

Lord I want to feel your heart and see the world through your eyes I want to be your hands and feet I want to live a life that leads chorus ready yourselves ready yourselves Let us shine the light of Jesus in the darkest night ready yourselves ready yourselves May the powers of darkness […]
