Language and Communication

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

I’ve noticed over my lifetime that communication, especially with people one knows well, has become shorter and shorter. It seems rare to find people writing letters back and forth like they did as shortly as 50 years ago. A lengthy letter to someone you are courting has been replaced now by a nonsensical message of […]

Here’s a picture taken while I was in Vegas, just as a preview of posts to come as I get things scanned in.

Impact Wrench AND Ratchet!

Sunday, November 11th, 2007

I purchased this item today, along with a couple other modifications, I’m ready to use the air system for real on the truck. I did discover, however, that 5 gallons is not enough air to run an impact wrench long enough for 4 wheels, I shall need to add more air.

Quick! Get home! Change! Got the tickets? Ready to go! Got to get to Scottsdale for the show on time! Had a great time, though did have to hurry to make it there.

Finally got it installed

Sunday, October 14th, 2007

I finally got the 5 gallon air tank installed on the truck. Here are some pictures of it on the truck now. I put in that last one so you can see it’s not all that visible unless you’re under the truck, you can just barely see the handle. Click on a pic for a […]

Verio Extorts Money, Little Guy Gains Nothing

Friday, August 10th, 2007

A long long time ago (prior to 2000) my brother and I had registered for hosting and domain support via Verio, at the time there weren’t many options and they seemed best. A few of the domains I have are still registered through them, therefore DNS control is done via Verio. Apparantly in 2002 when […]

Jiffy Lube

Tuesday, July 10th, 2007

One day I’m feeling lazy so I decide, “Hey, instead of changing my own oil in 100 degree heat, why don’t I take it in for service, it’ll cost me money, but save me frustration.” I took both the Neon and the Frontier in that day to Jiffy Lube. As I watched them work on […]

Computer…

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007

I have begun to traverse the utter depths of geekdom. I have begun to construct a (desktop) computer case from Lego. Yes, Lego. The power LED, the HD LED, the casing, the motherboard mounts… all Lego. Obviously I can’t make the motherboard hard disk, and various peripherals out of Lego, however they will all be […]
