You can't believe these web surveys, but this pretty much confirms what my wife Nina has been telling me for years. I still think every guy has some form of ADHD. There are a lot of questions about anger, and I don't get angry/annoyed easily, so maybe

A couple days ago I deleted a file on my work desktop, and the 'deleting file' box stayed on screen for about 10 seconds. Rewind............... A long time ago, after deleting a file and proceeding to empty the recycle bin immediately after, I realized

Another reference from Digital Digressions , I feel like I have practically stolen that whole blog... I am a pretty 'good' procrastinator, so I found the post ridiculously accurate. I like to have 'too much' to do, but hate that I don't complete everything.

I just purchased the third hard drive in a month. Last week our trusty TiVo SVR2000 started stuttering, and locking up. We got the unit ~5 years ago, and it's not a surprise that the original hard drive was on its way out. The box has a lifetime subscription,

My day job is as an electrical engineer. The thing is, as an engineer, I tend to remember a lot of technical information. This means that I sometimes have answers to random questions that people have. Once you have answered a couple of questions, like:

I have to get back to work on the Infant Log 2006 software before Baby #2 arrives. I have some cool improvements that I would like to include, but probably won't have time to add... I really never finished the ability to enter an amount to a task (i.e.:

Since Google started offering the map service with the satellite images, I have used that to get my directions. In San Diego I looked up the Hodad's restaurant using the satellite image to get an idea of the location we were looking for. Apparently, since

I have another post in the works for tonight, but caught this T-shirt at some T-shirt site, and thought I had to have one. For the lucky few that don't get it, this is the NASCAR logo. I can't remember the site, but if you also need one, I could look

You may remember my excitement about the DDR for the cube from an earlier post . Well, I passed it in the store a couple times this fall, but opted to wait for Christmas to obtain my version. Then Christmas came and went, but I have no DDR: Mario Mix.

So, I got Nina this super-cool shirt for Christmas, and had to show y'all. I have had the ThinkGeek.com link in the links section for a while now, but haven't mentioned it for fear of giving away the secret of the gift. So anyways, if you haven't checked

I just moved my monitors about 6" closer to the edge of my desk. I must say, I didn't expect it to be a big deal, but it is really different. I usually lean over to see the small text on my screens, which causes me to lean on my armrests, and lately creating

About a year ago, my Bro-In-Law introduced me to the Dance Dance Revolution with his PS2. I had some reservations, since dancing is not my thing, and the game seemed like some cheesy fad (like Karaoke). After standing by and watching for some time, I
