Snow!
We did not have a white Christmas. In fact, the day was fairly nice weather-wise. We did get a couple of post Christmas storms and definitely have a bit of that winter wonderland feel. When we took B out to play in the snow, at first he was happy to go outside. It was a […]
A Random Questionaire
I remember back in the day when I was 12 or 13 and I had my first email account. One of the things that was popular at the time was this sort of chain email that was a bunch of random questions. The person that sent it would include their answers and then you were […]
Favorite podcast of the year + thoughts on digital security
By far my favorite podcast of the year has been Darknet Diaries. I first heard about it at a Defcon meetup. It’s researched and produced by Jack Rhysrider. He does an excellent job with it. Every episode is a story about hacking, security vulnerabilities or other similar things. It is completely fascinating and also very […]
Community involvement
It’s great to vote, but election day is just one day of the year. Not to be jaded… OK, maybe being just a little bit jaded – our votes don’t really count that much. How many races are likely to be won or lost by my one vote? Zero. That’s not to say that I […]
I voted for . . .
all of the Libertarian candidates on the ballot. For the races that the only option was a Republican or Democrat, I voted for some of each based on a small amount of research into the candidates and their stances. I have to admit, I was torn with a few of the races. Specifically for the […]
N things of the week – #17 (migraines, celebrating fall & a schedule for B)
Can I come up with some heading about migraines that lures in a reader and makes them actually want to read this post?… Probably not, but I’m writing about migraines anyway. As I here writing this, I’ve been plagued by migraines the last three days. I can feel the edge of one now, but I […]
Ozzy Osbourne – concert pics and thoughts on the new camera
My 13 year-old nephew J really wanted to go see Ozzy Osbourne. He likes to listen to the rock station on the radio and has been talking about the Ozzy concert for months. I felt like it would be a great experience for him to go, so I bought S, J and I tickets. I’m […]
Trying out the new camera – some pictures of B
I have been taking tons of pictures with my new camera and trying to get used to it. I am really loving it. There are still a ton of settings that I need to figure out, but so far I am just blown away by the image quality. I just wish I’d had this camera […]
N things of the week – #16
It has been a busy, but fun week. I recently had a birthday, so I am now officially 30! It’s kind of a strange milestone, but I feel like I’m ready for my thirties. I also bought a new camera with some birthday money (plus some). I have really been wanting a good camera for […]
The sound of silence
I guess silence doesn’t really have a sound, but somehow it’s still something that we listen to. It is so hard to come by. I am always listening to the noises around me. Our new house has new noises. The ceiling fans make ‘white noise’ when they’re on. The water softner makes creepy noises in […]
