On our way home from visiting Shauna's brother last night, the radio station we normally listen to was playing a lot of off-the-wall stuff as part of the night format. Something that really jumped out at me was the B-52's singing about "my own private Idaho". There's a phrase you don't hear every day.

In a move designed to infuriate the technical community (yours truly included), the judge in the patent case between Verizon and Vonage has issued an order that Vonage is prohibited from completing calls from its service to a regular phone line. The implication is that Verizon is claiming that it should have exclusive use […]

A recently released report proposes some big changes to the way schools currently run their operations. It's got the usual stuff like increasing teacher salaries (which, adjusted for inflation, have stayed flat for over 30 years), expanding college programs that train teachers and more flexibility in hiring.

A few days ago I took my wedding ring off and set it on my nightstand because my fingers were a little bloaty. I kept forgetting to put it on and before I realized it, I had gone almost a week without wearing it. Today I went to go put it on and it was […]

Outside in the dirt in the ground? With the wind and the sky and everything? We garden!
Isn't it beautiful? That's what 50 newly planted strawberry plants look like. You're all invited for strawberry shortcake this summer.
