I saw this in a coworker’s email signature this morning: “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” -Winston Churchill BTW: Stay tuned for a major overhaul of this site. There will be a layout change as well as content change.

Last year’s resolution was to post a picture every day. Like most new year resolutions, I did well for a while and then fell flat on my face. My resolution this year is to not make resolutions. If you want to make a change in your life, just do it. Don’t wait for the new [...]

I saw a post on the “Last Minute Couch” community from a couple of students who needed a place to stay, so I offered up Casa de la Bell for the night. Mohammed and Gwen are on their spring break from the University of Memphis and they’re doing a 5-state road trip, surfing along the [...]

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.

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 it. No, [...]

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 stopping entirely. [...]

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 the last [...]

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 audio [...]

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 $720-840 a year!! [...]

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…
