A month or two ago, I was involved with clocks. Now I think it is safe to say I am becoming committed. What has changed? It is a matter of degree…
Folks following my twitters, which appear conveniently on the left side of my web page, will possibly have noted that I mentioned buying some “broken” clocks.
I’ve won two of the “broken clock” ebay auctions I’ve bid on: I may live to regret this…
I’ve actually won five out of five auctions, achieving my objective of establishing a collection of various abused antique timepieces. Why would any sane person want broken clocks? Your first mistake is use of the word “sane” in reference to me. But I’ll try my best to explain what is going on here, since there is some logic to what I’m doing.
We’ve had our composite deck for a little less than a year, and I’ve not done a lot to clean it. I’ve washed it with a mop and hosed it down a few times, but it has some “ground in” dirt that I’d like something more effective for.

The best experts in the industry agree that the attacks were launched by an attention-seeking amateur.
There has been a bit of a hullaballoo lately regarding overheating problems with the latest iPhone, the 3GS.

The funny thing is that this is far from a new phenomenon for iPhone users.
A few weeks ago I decided to start setting up a little place in the house where I can work on fiddling with clock mechanisms. I have discovered that there is some sort of strange and mysterious aura surrounding what I had originally thought was a humble and simple to acquire item: a suitable workbench.
I have to admit that I was pretty doubtful about Obama’s plans for the future of America. I’m glad to see he’s set some more realistic goals after seeing the reality of his country’s citizens during a visit to a Denny’s restaurant.
The news has been full this week with stories of what is going on in Iran, and more specifically with how technology is helping protesters get their message out. Without…
Say what you will, but as this video attests Michael Jackson had some serious dance moves
Twitter has become popular enough now that the bad guys are starting to use it to get past your defenses. Beware of any invitations you may receive in your email…
