Guam - Hafa Adai…
Hafa Adia (Pronounced: Half A Day, Means: Hello, Language: Chamorro) from Guam! My recent business trip took me to the island of Guam. It wouldn’t have been that bad if getting there were just a bit more convenient. Our flights took us from Spokane, to Seattle to Japan’s Narita airport and then finally Guam. All total [...]
Shameless Self Promotion - A Link for a Link
I recently read an article about blog and website promotion where the author was offering tips for bloggers to help increase their traffic. One of the simplest of suggestions was to simply ask readers to link to you and you do the same for them. So the purpose of this post is to layout the [...]
American Idol and Voting…
For the past couple of seasons of American Idol I have resorted to an automatic, “intelligent” dialing program to place my votes for me. The interesting thing about DialIdol is that it “measures the busy signals” to figure out which of the idols are getting the votes. If it makes a determination that your choice(s) [...]

Geek Speak for Dummies
I got this great piece of email today… you know one of those that is forwarded to all your friends, etc…
Even lowly smurfs (computer users that know nothing about the inner workings of their systems) use common jargon like “megabyte”, “network”, ”motherboard” and “crash.” If you truly want to set yourself apart from the noobs, add some [...]

Say What You Need to Say - Movie Review - Bucket List
The subject of death and dying is not a very pleasant subject to talk about. In the “Bucket List” our lead characters, played by Nicholson as the wealthy billionaire and Freeman as a family man and mechanic, face death head on when both are diagnosed with terminal cancer.
Through the course of the movie, these hospital [...]
Enough with the Snow! - Turn the Snow Machine Off!!!
Enough is enough! In the winters that I remember here in Spokane, WA this has got to be one of the snowiest winters on record. (perhaps I should check that) Again this morning we woke up to about 4 inches of new snow that we had to shovel from your walks and drives. Today wouldn’t [...]

Rookie Model Railroader - Where to begin?
I have had model railroads in the past (so maybe I’m not a true rookie) but they were limited to a 4×8 sheet of plywood, real simple layouts and I could put the thing away when I was finished with it. I’ve decided to revitalize the hobby and I am going to take over one [...]
