Phillips 50″ Plasma – No Power

Last night my TV decided to punish me right in the middle of watching Family Guy, by shutting itself off and refusing to come back on. After replacing the power cord, resetting the surge protector, and a lot of foul language, I finally gave up for the night.  After working for a few hours today, I then decided to yank …

Snowing in Houston

However it is a welcome change and distraction from the normal Texas weather. It is expected to continue though the rest of the day and we may actually see more than 2 inches. …

Bookworm Addiction

I seemed to have a new found addiction to Bookworm. This is not a new game to me but I recently installed in on my notebook and can’t seem to stop playing it. To make matters worse, Sharlet of SharletsWorld.com has been taunting me about my scores. I think I have her beat with my new score(3,452,580), but I really …

Edible Arrangement

My New “Desk”

My job requires a lot of hours at the keyboard, so I decide to swap my desk for something a bit more comfortable. After a little searching I opted for a recliner and a LCD stand. To round out the setup, I tossed in a wireless keyboard, wireless mouse, and a nice lap board. My only complaints so far are …
