My Epson 777 printer ran out of color ink today, so I dug into a drawer and found a generic replacement cartridge I bought a while ago. There are all these tabs you have to pull off, so I decided to read the instructions to see if I did everything right. In doing so, I …
I always seem to watch a lot of movies over the holidays. Thanksgiving was no exception I watched 4 which is a lot for me. They weren’t necessarily great movies either. Just ones that were available on the plane or the movie no one else in the room had seen yet (and probably for good …
I really dislike rechargable batteries. Not necessarily the standard sizes (AA, C, D, etc.), but all those weird batteries found in most portable electronic devices these days. I was in the airport last Tuesday when I realized that I had forgotten the charger for my Treo. The battery in the older Treo 300 is not …
I bought my Treo 650 today. Well, kinda. I ordered it from Amazon. Here’s the problem. Shipping estimate: December 22, 2004 – January 5, 2005 I’m really hoping that Amazon is being pessimistic about this since some people got their phones today.

Amazon’s Search Inside the Book is neat, but for most part it just drives me crazy. Maybe I’m not like other people, but most of the time I’m not buying books at Amazon. It’s DVDs, electronics, and other random stuff. Try a search for Treo 650. They have it listed, but it’s at the bottom …

I’m able to filter and toss most of them, but a few custom replies make it through. This is one of the most entertaining I’ve recieved, …
You end up solving a lot of anagrams when Geocaching. Any strange-looking title is probably an anagram (and a hint). Often the hint is an anagram or parts of the description. Some caches are even entirely anagrams. There are a number of tools out there to solve anagrams, but they all seem to try to …
Well, the past weekend was Halloween, which meant one thing – we needed to hide from trick or treaters. We had planned to head to Mono Lake, but snow hit the Sierras early this year, and the pass was closed. So we cancelled that trip and booked a hotel in Carmel, or Carmel-by-the-Sea. We headed …
I’ve heard a few people say they would go to extremes if Bush wins the election. Just in case he does, here’s a link those people might want to keep handy. You were serious, right?
I never thought I’d see those words together. I tend to be pretty conversative in my views and that means that I usually vote Republican. But this election is different. I did what I usually do before voting absentee – I take some of the online quizzes about my views and then see how they …
