Going Mobile

Sunday, August 15th, 2010 @ 11:00 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

Since I recently got an Android phone, I’ve become interested in how this site looks on mobile devices. For now, I’ve decided to use WPtouch. It only works with iPhones/iPods, Androids and Blackberries; but there aren’t many (if any) other 3G/4G phones that can effectively browse a multimedia heavy site such as ours anyway. If [...]

HNT – 258

Thursday, August 12th, 2010 @ 12:00 am | HNT, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

I mentioned on Tuesday that I got a new phone so we thought that it would be fun to feature it in this week’s post. California Girl is much more interesting than any technology; but using it to surf the web while I was otherwise occupied did make for an interesting photograph. For some fun [...]

Two For Tuesday – 250

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010 @ 11:00 pm | Photos, TFT | By: Midwestern City Boy

Someone posted in the shoutbox “How about some casual pics outdoors (non sexual) enjoying a vacation trip, fair, amusement park, etc. before winter sets in.” Unfortunately, the daytime temperatures have been over 90°F with “feels like” temperatures even hotter than that. So, except for working out, we’ve been staying inside in the air conditioning. We know [...]

Random Wednesday #13

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010 @ 10:00 pm | Random Wednesday | By: Midwestern City Boy

Miscellaneous musings from the mind of Midwestern City Boy (and sometimes California Girl). We got The Girl a standard definition DVD player as a going away present for college. Now that everyone is buying blu-ray players, a “regular” DVD player costs less than $50. She could have used her laptop to play movies; but, with [...]

HNT – 257

Friday, August 6th, 2010 @ 6:30 pm | HNT, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

It’s very late for a HNT post but we never miss our weekly photo session so here is this week’s edition. We recreated our old style photos with the camera mounted on a mini tripod on top of the dresser next to the bed. We usually prefer the full size tripod; but were feeling a [...]

Two For Tuesday – 249

Thursday, August 5th, 2010 @ 11:00 pm | Photos, TFT | By: Midwestern City Boy

It’s already Thursday night so this “better late than never” TFT post will be short and to the point. When I’m sick, I need enjoy a little more TLC than usual, something which California Girl is very understanding of. So, here is a photograph of her putting in her diaphragm before coming to “help my [...]

Feeling Much Better

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010 @ 10:10 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

I am not completely recovered; but I am feeling much, much better than I did yesterday. I’m sure that Going to work and keeping my normal routine doesn’t help; but hat has always been my way. Anyway, California Girl and I decided to postpone or weekly photo session for a day (or perhaps two); but, [...]

101 Degrees

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010 @ 6:45 pm | Bitching | By: Midwestern City Boy

That was my temperature on Thursday night. That’s definitely a fever for an adult, even more so when you consider that my “normal” temperature (at least on my home thermometer) is 97-degrees. I don’t believe in being sick which means that I try really hard to not let being under the weather disrupt my normal [...]
