Blog/Twitter Integration
I found a plugin that posts blog posts/updates to your Twitter account, but it used the full URL in the link. I modified it to shorten the URL using bit.ly
This is the first post.

“New” Furniture
I’ve been hanging my jackets and coats on the back of my kitchen chairs for the past few months, and I’ve accumulated quite the collection downstairs. Every time I bring one down, I leave it there instead of taking it back upstairs. It’s become pretty cluttered, so I decided to do something about [...]

New Year Resolution
I’m making a bold resolution for 2010, and I’m going to go ahead and make it now: Take and post one photo every day. My dad does a “Foto Friday”, which is where I got the idea. But if I try to do it weekly, missing one may cause a chain reaction to [...]

TV Antenna
This is just a quick post to make an antenna recommendation for over-the-air TV reception. I had to do a lot of research to find the right antenna, and I’d like to help out others.
I live in McKinney, TX and I was looking for an antenna that would get good reception of all the [...]
This is the 3rd and final installment in my “to tv or not to tv” series.
In a nutshell, I made the right choice. I’m not watching as much TV and I don’t miss it one bit. When I do watch TV, it’s usually a free podcast downloaded from the internet. I downloaded [...]

not to TV (Part II: the decision)
Let’s call this Part II of my previous post, “to TV or not to TV”.
After evaluating both Time Warner cable and AT&T U-verse, I made a decision. I’ve canceled both. I canceled AT&T last week, and Time Warner bit the dust today.
My primary reason for dumping AT&T was a technical one. The [...]

to TV or not to TV
As many of you know, I’ve been debating over the past couple of months whether or not to cancel cable. If you really think about it, is TV really all that necessary? No…it’s not.
One of the large motivators is money. I can free up about $60-70 per month by canceling. That’s [...]

Paris
This past weekend’s road trip was to Paris for a few days. I left Friday after work and took a train to London, then the Eurostar rail to Paris. Not a whole lot to blog about, so I’ll let the pictures do the talking…

Cool Firefox Extension
I found a cool little Add-On for Firefox today. It’s called IE Tab.
Have you ever been surfing the web and you come across a site that is coded so bad that it will only work properly if viewed in Microsoft’s Internet Explorer? Of course you have. With this extenstion, you don’t have [...]

Snow day
What’s with all the snow this year? Texas isn’t supposed to get this kind of weather…at least not this much of it. I woke up to an icy cold ground with a small coating of ice and snow. The ice is leftover from the rain, but the snow is fresh from last [...]
