Random Blog Watching

Work and other activites have prevented me from reading blogs lately so I thought I would point you to some links that caught my eye as I tried to catch up. – Mark Bryon has a number of interesting posts on the Tax Cut issue. – Jane Galt over at Assymetrical Information has a string [...]

Done for the night

Dude! I got a Dell

I just ordered a Dell computer over the phone. It a average to middle level computer I suppose. 2.2 Ghz, 256 DDR SDRAM, 60 GB hard drive, 15″ Flat Panel monitor, CR-RW, etc. I got it all for around a grand. Seemed like the best deal I could find without a lot of work. The [...]

Sports Wrap-Up

A lot of interesting sporting events going on this weekend: NBA Playoffs, NHL Playoffs, NFL draft, Golf, Baseball, and number of other things I am sure.

Spring in Ohio

Another weekend with a total lack of posting. No real surprise I supose. I have been enjoying the spring weather. I had my first outdoor soccer game of the season (we won) and we took the dogs to the park. We are dog sitting two of our friends dogs so it was a full house [...]
