Pregnant Weight Rant

Now let it be said that I am not skinny, I haven’t been skinny for years. Heck I haven’t weight 100lbs since puberty struck and I’m ok with that. Thankfully I am happy with my body and I see room for improvement. I am thrilled to say that the hubs is sweet on my current [...]

Navigating Domain Registration – A tale of a near miss

The story you are about to read is true, not even the names have been changed so as to fully implicate the accused. First, a teensy bit of background. I conduct a lot of transactions online, and do most of my business electronically. I own three of my own domains, and manage a fourth for [...]

But I can’t juggle

Of late the hubs and I have been trying to do everything at once. Weaning our son, and encouraging him to sleep in his own bed. Both of us have been crazy busy with our jobs. We have been searching for a new home to rent. I have been attempting to get in better shape [...]

My TMI Post

Warning: This post may be a bit, um, private or sensitive but it must be said. Time and time again I see the commercials for Viagra and Levitra and they have their spokesmen saying, puzzled that one medical condition or another has effected their performance in the bedroom. EVERY SINGLE TIME I yell at the [...]

Tethered Shooting – Professional Chimping?

Okay, first..  This post/rant was inspired by a few tweets from Chase Jarvis.  That said, I’m not throwing stones, or trying to start a fight.  The topic just got me thinking and I wanted to share my train of thought.  Chase, and any other professional who shots tethered, I’m actually jealous.  I wish I could shoot tethered.

For the past few weeks there have been a rash of issues with our water supply lines here in our apartment complex. We’ve been without cold or hot water or both for hours at a time. It’s culminated into our landlord deciding to basically gut our water lines and replace them. So since last Friday [...]

UNYK Address Book

I just received an email today from one of my contacts on LinkedIn. It was an invitation to join this new UNYK Address Book application which is apparently in beta. I think I’ve made it clear that I’m a big fan of anything which centralizes my information and allows me to access it through a [...]

Whopper Virgins Campaign

What you’ve just seen is the latest marketing campaign by Burger King. Every time I see teasers for this on TV, I feel… I dunno.. Just… Wrong. Something about this offends me, and I’m not really sure what it is yet. There are others who feel very strongly about it. I’m not sure I agree [...]

Check out my new ride!

No, I didn’t actually buy a super car, but I think that I should be able to. Allow me to elaborate. I live in a rather affluent part of Southern California and nice (expensive) cars are not uncommon on our roads. I spent just a couple hours recently at Shoreline (some bluffs just over the [...]

With great power comes?

I’ve been noticing a trend lately in modern cars. Everything is getting exponentially faster and more powerful, and meanwhile more affordable. You can go out today and buy a lightweight SUV or sedan from Jeep/Dodge/Chrystler with a 420hp Hemi for around $35k. But it’s not just the “hot rod” cars that are getting big power, [...]
