Father’s Day ’09

June 21, 2009.Reading time 8 minutes.

When you become a parent, you fall into the understandable trap of believing everyone else in the world wants to hear about how great your kid is, and how parenthood is the best thing since sliced bread. The most egregious example of this I ever encountered was when my friends Jeff and Susan (names changed […]

Torn between two blogs

June 4, 2009.Reading time 1 minute.

So, I’ve been dumping some of the old entries into Blogger over the past few days, and I gotta say…I love it. Dang, this is easy. A HECK of a lot easier than Rapidweaver. So, what was I doing not doing this a long time ago…like, maybe two years ago?Sheesh. Did I mention that sometime […]

Deja Vu All Over Again

June 3, 2009.Reading time 1 minute.

Jeez, I’ve had such crappy luck with my blogging software over the past few years. Been trying to use the integrated Rapidweaver solution to do both the website and blog. And I realize the previous sentence will only make sense to extraordinarily geeky Macheads. Let’s just say, I’ve tried a lot of things and it […]

Christmas 2008

January 17, 2009.Reading time less than 1 minute.

I thought I’d posted this to my blog two weeks ago, but I think I just posted to Facebook. (Things get a little jumbled up sometimes…) Here’s a video of Christmas at the lake this year, which I am reminded to post today, because we’re back here again for quick visit. It’s very cold here […]

Dust and Old Power Converters

January 5, 2009.Reading time 12 minutes.

Can a new laptop lead you to redecorate a house? Maybe not, but it dang sure caused a lot of mid-winter cleaning around here. I got a new MacBook Pro for Christmas. It’s sooooo cool. I can hardly contain myself. My old computer was one of the very first G-4s, and we got it almost […]

Summer Vacation 2008

December 25, 2008.Reading time less than 1 minute.

A movie of our trip to Philly, Boston, New York and Washington. Somehow, we didn’t get a single pic of our friends, Sheri and Evan, which seems so wrong. With that great omission confessed, enjoy the rest: Please visit Eric’s original blog here: http://www.wheneftalks2.blogspot.com/

Why I Hate Email

August 23, 2008.Reading time 17 minutes.

Over the past few years, I have come to a growing and inescapable conclusion: I now hate email. Given the fact that, among my close family and friends, I am still probably the most wired-in person they know, it may sound as if I’ve gone off some deep end. Maybe you’re thinking this makes me […]
