Here’s a great story about a dolphin in Clearwater getting a prosthetic tail. The dolphin lost it’s tail as a result of becoming tangled in a crab trap near Cape Canaveral. The effort spent outfitting the dolphin with the device is paying off for humans, also. The product advancements made will help human amputees with [...]

My favorite time of year in Florida is rapidly approaching – Fall! Lots of reasons, really: The weather begins to cool down (I swear, it does!), the kids are back in school, there’s some event or activity of festival every weekend, and most importantly – football! Go Gators! Go Jags! My wife and kids like [...]

So, if all goes well, about 24 hrs from now I’ll be $300 million dollars richer, thanks to the good folks that play the Georgia Lottery! You know what time it will be then, don’t you? Time for a Harley! Stacey won’t let me get one right now despite my “objective” arguments about how much [...]

There are plenty of guides to moving available, but they are either buried deep inside a very large website, or they are just some reworked junk thrown together to make a little Adsense cash. Relocation.com is neither. The guides are at the heart of this website, readily available, and gloriously free of Adsense. By browsing [...]

I’m over my trepidation regarding migrating my blogs to WordPress and a new host. Since I went with Bluehost several weeks ago, I’ve mucked around trying to screw stuff up and haven’t. So I’m feeling better about my problems with GoDaddy being GoDaddy’s fault and not mine. Effin’ GoDaddy. This blog is hosted on Blogger. [...]
I am McLovin!

Stacey and I went to see Superbad this past weekend. Too funny! Mark my words – the catch-phrase for 2007 is “I am McLovin!” Think American Pie without the good-looking guys, or Shannon Elizabeth naked. Think uncomfortable references to MySpace pedophiles*, dude-dude platonic love declarations, and that party you went to right before high school [...]

Back when she was a single woman, my wife packaged herself to trap attract single men. In her case, she brought season tickets to the Jaguars to the relationship. (I’m going to paaaaayyyyyy for that sentence…..) As a veteran of something like eight million** live NFL games, I can tell you there’s no better way [...]

My sister-in-law and her husband are back from their latest excursion in their RV, which they are now putting up for sale. It is lightly used and I can attest to the fact that it is in wonderful condition. But, they have a little one entering school and business interests competing for their time. When [...]

I don’t do very well building technorati authority, but then, so what? It’s just another metric ripe for manipulation, and no advertiser has ever given a crap about it. PageRank? Yeah, I can do a decent job with it. Ethically. Ashwin’s PR is predicted to be a 4. I’ll use PR as a point of [...]
