Computers, Sex, Sports and Blogging

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008 @ 11:00 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

We didn’t float way in the rain. The start of the week has just been very busy. We attended a function on Sunday night and didn’t get home until late, so, the week started off rushed and harried. We seldom blog about why we’re not posting; but we received a lot of comments and emails [...]

It’s Not Black Or White

Saturday, March 15th, 2008 @ 8:00 pm | Kids/Family | By: Midwestern City Boy

Someone asked me on Friday whether The Girl “dated” more black guys or white guys. I actually had to stop and think about it for a moment. Partly because she is “just friends” with a number of boys whom she wouldn’t go out with (her words not ours); and partly because that’s not the first [...]

HNT – 133

Thursday, March 13th, 2008 @ 12:00 am | HNT, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

With all of the St. Patrick’s Day parties this coming weekend, California Girl and I thought it would be fun to put on some of our holiday green for this week’s HNT. It’s good to be non-controversial after last week’s Mac post. Interestingly, we had more comments on last walks post than we have had [...]

Two For Tuesday – 126

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008 @ 9:00 pm | Audio, Photos, TFT, Video | By: Midwestern City Boy

Our bandwidth utilization seems to have returned to normal so we’re posting another part of the video that we made last week. And since we have a photo session every week, we’re also posting a picture from this week’s session as well. The only think different about the picture is that it’s new. That doesn’t [...]

Spring Forward

Sunday, March 9th, 2008 @ 7:45 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

It seems kind of odd adjusting the clocks for Daylight Savings Time when there’s more than a foot of snow on the ground. The “spring forward fall back” mnemonic doesn’t seem very appropriate when the weather outside is not at all spring like. The national weather service hasn’t decided whether it was a blizzard or [...]

Snowbound

Saturday, March 8th, 2008 @ 4:00 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

We’re having a HUGE snowstorm here in Ohio. It started in the morning on Friday and has been going ever since then. The kids got dismissed early from school (just after lunch) and we were even released early from work on Friday due to the heavy snow. I guess that counts as a half of [...]

HNT – 132

Thursday, March 6th, 2008 @ 12:00 am | HNT, Quizzes | By: Midwestern City Boy

Osbasso requested that the theme for today be “I Love My Mac”. Unfortunately, those of us who are knowledgeable about the computers know how badly a Mac sucks when compared to a properly configured PC. Either platform is suitable for most everyday tasks; but the difficulty in writing software for Macs will forever confine them [...]

Two For Tuesday – 125

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008 @ 6:00 am | Audio, TFT, Video | By: Midwestern City Boy

Guest_4087 said in the shoutbox “How about a new video, it’s been a while.” Due to bandwidth limitations we make a lot more videos than we post. Still, we had not transcoded and posted a video since January. Since we were thinking about it, we made a movie of our session on Monday night. We’re [...]

Something Old, Something New

Monday, March 3rd, 2008 @ 11:30 am | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

You may have noticed that the orange is gone from the sidebar. After two years, I finally changed the theme. The colors are the same since we like combinations. And, of course, we kept the same header image. But otherwise, it’s a new and hopefully easier to read design. It’s slightly wider than before so [...]
