It’s Almost 2009
And I’ll probably fall asleep before midnight.
What are you doing tonight? (Or what did you do? Or what are you doing now whatever the date is?)

How the hell do I assemble my easel?
As some of you may now, I paint. Not much, but hey, it’s a start. I pick up new brushes and paints and canvases whenever I have the extra cash. A small corner of my home office is about ready to become my painting… uh… spot. All that’s really left is setting up an easel. [...]

DVD Burner Problem
I’ve tried to work it out myself and I’ve looked for solutions online, but I can’t find anything. I could call Dell’s tech support, but I have a feeling I’d be on the phone with them for a long time and nothing would change. To save myself the frustration, I’m throwing it out to all [...]

Danny Schmidt / Carrie Elkin House Concert
I love Whole Wheat Radio, but I’m not a big fan of the Alaskan time zone. When it’s 11am in Alaska, it’s 4:30pm in St. John’s, Newfoundland. Most Whole Wheat Radio house concerts don’t get going until after midnight in my corner of the planet. The last time I tried to stay up for one, [...]

Last week his doctor recommended a drug that MAY prevent the need for future blood transfusions, which would be easier on his system, ensuring he’s [...]

Bush Knows How to Duck
I’m impressed how quickly Bush got out of the way of the flying shoes. I didn’t think he could move that fast.
