  • Four great movies to catch online.

    Based on my post about Not having TV, I thought I’d put together a list of movies I have seen on Netflix or Hulu that you can watch too. Remember, Hulu is free, Netflix is a paid service, Netflix has thousands of movies, while Hulu’s selection is more limited. Also, Netflix has more commercially successful…

  • Camping at Kennedy Meadows

    Last year, I went camping three times. I hadn’t been camping in years prior to that. The three spots I went to were all in California and all were slightly different. I posted some pictures from my Bishop Creek trip. The trip to Kern River got a little more verbosity along with some pictures, and…

  • Write in Word, publish with WordPress

    Microsoft Word and WordPress As much as I discourage the use of Microsoft Word, I know its widely used as the preferred method of writing for some people. Be it for a letter, a resume, or even in some cases, a blog post. Some people use Word to write their blogposts, then copy and paste…

  • Acceptable shorthand Twitter chatter

    One of the faux paus of Twitter is abbreviating things just to fit your whole message. Abbreviating things just to get more words in is weak, if not outright dumb. Abbreviating words or using acronyms properly ((The definition of proper also varies by medium, so what is proper in Twitter, may not be proper in…

  • Sleep Depravation. Do you have it?

    I was going to wait another month or so before I brought this up in public, but I think if I put my thoughts down and articulate what I’m doing I might get better results. Have you heard of polyphasic sleep? Neither had I until a couple years ago. Don’t worry, I’ll tell you more…
