Someday

Tuesday, June 19th, 2007

One of these days I am going to shock everyone by actually getting back to blogging. Like the rest of the world I have been experimenting with facebook… but I have serious reservations regarding its uses. I do think it has its place… but it is NOT a blog or online journal.

I do believe it is in my best interest to be disciplined in keeping this blog updated… so I will get back to it.

It would appear that I have lost links to most of my previous posts links (I hate computers sometimes) … Oh well, yet another learning experience!

I had to jump into this blog today because I got hit by a spammer with some trashy post.
Anyway… back to work!

Dinner with Ken and Barbie

Friday, July 21st, 2006
Well I had the opportunity to take the “poster couple” out for dinner at Paris of Pembin

 

  

I will distort their picture so that they wont be embarrassed about being seen in public with me :-)

Actually, after this blog post… they wont let me take them out again!

The backdoor blazing infernal outside my appartment…

Makes for an exciting day! I guess July is for “fire-works”

  

  

Thankful for “old blue”

Thursday, July 13th, 2006
You know… I was thinking the other day of things I have to be thankful for as I am dropping my car off at maintenance… again…
And in all seriousness… I am able to say I am so very grateful for this car… It was given to me a few years ago buy some dear friends (I was basically without a car because of some other “deer” friends).

Anyway… even though its a 1990… it still get’s really good gas mileage… and… for its age it does not really require a lot of repairs (I drive it as little as possible). And I just don’t know what I would do without it!

Links List posted

Friday, July 7th, 2006
 

I have an updated links listing of Northland associated people or organizations that I use. I will be updating this list on a regular basis so if you have anyone to include on this list email me the information and I will include them on one of my editing sessions.

This list allows me to combine many Web Blogs (Xanga’s, Google Blogger, WordPress, MySpace etc and Personal web domains) on one resource.

I hope you find this tool useful to stay in touch with friends of Northland and to encourage each other in the Lord.

Irony…and my “little black book” (storage 101)

Monday, July 3rd, 2006

Well anyone who knows me at all… the title of this post has already caught their attention.

What does a intensely single 45/46 year old man know of a “little black book”…well…not much…but read on anyway…it gets worse! My loving and supportive family a few years ago presented me with a book entitled “Everything I know about women” (with my name as the author gilded on the front cover).

Yes you’ve seen them…you open up the book and find all the pages blank!
While this could irritate some people…I could only receive the “gift” and acknowledge the truth of those pages. 

Pages!!!
Speaking of pages… (bear with me now…this next part gets confusing…but I will “talk” you through it).

A byte in computer jargon can hold one character of data …and 1,024 bytes is about half of a double-spaced typewritten page. Another way of looking at it is… that a floppy disk holds 1,048,567 bytes or 768 pages of typed text. Since know one uses floppy disks (or shouldn’t) what does that translate to in gigabytes (today’s hard disk sizes). Well 1 gigabyte is approximately 786,432 pages of text… and since 500 sheets of paper equals approximately 2 inches…a gigabyte would represent a stack of paper 262 feet high. Well my “little black book” is 131,000 feet tall… What do you think of that!

No…as you already guess it… I am not talking about a “little black book” that contains all the names and phone numbers of all the women that I am pursuing (that could be written on the corner of a small post-it note). 

If I haven’t lost you by now…and you want to (as Paul Harvey would say “hear the rest of the story”) click here and (more…)

Wild life outside my apartment

For some reason… Turkey’s seem to feel right at home around me?
