This is just a fluff post, not meant to be taken seriously. I say 2010 as ‘Two-Thousand Ten.’ No ‘and.’ It’s a minor pet peeve when someone says ‘Twenty Ten.’ It just doesn’t sound right. After all, no one said ‘Twenty Oh-Nine’ for the year 2009, did they? No. So why use that format for 2010?

An iPhone is a great supplement to a desktop or laptop. With wifi and cellular connectivity it’s great for checking email, light [...] I barely knew my grandparents growing up.

Our first "country" troubleshooting problem. Heh. We put a light bulb shining right onto the motor and put a small space heater in the well house. That unfroze the motor in about 15 minutes, so we have water again. Going to have to beef up the insulation (of which [...] I’ve seen several people I follow on Twitter mention “three words for 2010.” It sounded like an interesting mental exercise, coming up with three words, and only three words, to define what you want to focus on in the coming year. Here’s my take on it. My three words: Reading, Building, Growing. Reading – I love to [...] |
