Operation Media Center – Update 2013

It has been a few years since I first installed the media center and I have gone through a few iterations since its inception so I thought I’d write an update on what has changed. I have recently gotten rid of the Bluray player because I used it a total of zero times.  I also […]

Stairway to Heaven

Stairway to Heaven

There are a few songs that remind me of my early high school days, but none of them more than Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin.  This is a tribute done by Heart at the Kennedy Center.  Talk about chills.  Amazing performance.

Shingle Bells

Shingle Bells

Today took an interesting turn in my neverending joke of health.  I woke up with a searing pain on my back, reached back and felt bumps.   I took a look in the mirror and there were lovely red spots which hadn’t been there the night before.  I rushed off to One Medical – thankfully […]

From 0-100MB/s on Comcast

Maybe not quite 0-100.  More like 0-95.  Actually when all is said and done it is more like 120MB! I’m talking about my very frustrating morning fighting with Comcast and fighting with my router to get a decent internet connection.  Comcast is completely useless.  Not that I expect anything different from them, but today they […]

And…this week in awesome

Rage against the machine

This is one of my favorite management tales. I have been in many a situation where people behave like the monkeys that have no idea why they are doing some stupid legacy thing. I prefer to question the status quo and do the best thing as opposed to what we think we should be doing. […]

Essie Sleek Sticks review

I have been spending silly amounts of money lately trying to get my nails to look decent again after all the health trauma.  I was doing Japanese Calgel nails which allow your nails to continue breathing, but added some thickness.  I had to stop doing these because even though they do allow your nails to […]
