Easter Challenged

                      More Easter weirdness to enjoy at this website.

Post 666

Thought it only appropriate that for my 666th post I make it about the devil, in whom I do not believe. Man can be pretty evil on his own. He really doesn’t need any help.                   I present the lyrics to the song Demonic Incarnate by the group Incantation. …

Many Leave And One Enters

Today in 1865 Abraham Lincoln dies from a gun shot wound. In 1912 the Titanic sinks with a loss of 1,517 lives. But in 1889, Charlie Chaplin was born to later bring enjoyment to millions.

Rocket Launch

Watched a rocket from Vandenburg fly southward at around 9:25 pm.

Solemn Remembrance

Today in 1865, John Wilkes Booth shoots Abraham Lincoln in the back of the head. Lincoln dies the next day. Today in 1912, The RMS Titanic strikes an iceberg on her maiden voyage. She sinks the following morning. I have a few books on both of these events and will toast this evening in honor of those …

Sumter, cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to orbit our planet in 1961, in 1945 Franklin D. Roosevelt died in office, The Space Shuttle Columbia lifted off in 1981 on the …

Morris and Flipper

Unfortunately today was another day of nothing terribly interesting happening. So here’s a video of two animals that normally would never interact.  

Rainbow Connection

Witnessed a spectacular rainbow (double, even) in Chula Vista after a rainstorm and with the sun slowly setting in the west.

Returns Done Been Returned

Got both Federal and State taxes e-filed today! Along with a strong warning about an audit. Yay!

Phone 2 Phone

Transfered all of my contact information from my old T-Mobile Dash to my new (and temporary) LG Sentio. Not exactly an iPhone (yet), but way better than my old Windows Mobile 5.0 phone. But for some reason it won’t vibrate. Tickle fail.

Splitting Hairs

Finally got a badly needed haircut at the hands of my regular snipper of almost 27 years, Sylvia. Now I just need the facial hairs cut.

Google Does It Again

Every year Google does a pretty good April Fool’s joke. Once again, they didn’t disappoint.

My Mom’s Mac Mini

Got my mom’s new Mac up and running in no time, which, with Migration Assistant, couldn’t have been easier to copy over her files, apps and settings from her old computer, thanks to Apple’s Time Machine. A brand new computer, but exactly how she remembered everything being.

Computer Challenged, Part Three

Took a Mac Mini apart to replace the hard drive only to find that it has a 2.5″ laptop drive. No matter how hard I hit it with a hammer, my extra 3.5″ desktop drive wouldn’t fit. Plus, I couldn’t install Leopard on it because it’s DVD drive isn’t working, but has an external DVD …

Mac Certified

I’ve gotten to know these four types of Macs very well over the last couple of days.
