First off, a quick comment about why this post is on my personal blog.  I run a Rangers fan site/blog at rangerfans.com – and I’ve been prepping a new version of the site for the last two months or so.  I completed it earlier in the week, and had it ready to go.  On Wed […]

Well, I’ve decided to make the move. I have switched from Firefox to Google Chrome. I’ve always had Chrome on my system, as someone who does websites, you have several. On my system, I have IE, Chrome, Opera, Firefox, & Safari. In years gone by, that was a requirement, as you needed to check how […]

There was a time when you were five years old, and you woke up full of awesome. You knew you were awesome. You loved yourself. You thought you were beautiful, even with missing teeth and messy hair and mismatched socks inside your grubby sneakers. You loved your body, and the things it could do. You […]

Steve Jobs died today.  Here’s some news on it.  It certainly adds weight as to why he didn’t make an appearance at the iPhone 4S presser yesterday. I didn’t write either of these two remarks, but I echo them exactly.  Thanks to Chris F for these.. “For a man I never met, Steve Jobs had […]

I had to cut cable TV earlier this year due to money issues, and from about May till September I was operating with good old rabbit ears in the house. When they worked, it worked great. But I was getting fed up of the constant moving of the rabbit ears, or the twiddling of the […]

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. (Proverbs 3:5-6) Today is August 31, 2011. It’s a day that’s fairly odd for me emotionally. It’s in some ways the end of the road for the […]

Those who know me know I’m a big Doctor Who dork.   Earlier this year, I did this video, which is a complete comprehensive tribute to the series (with clips of every single story from 1963 to 2010).   Earlier today I had a friend ask me on Facebook about where he should start with watching the […]

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 […]
