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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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…
