Eugene Glover I just love technology! And one facet of technology that fascinates me is food technology. I love the great lengths that mankind is willing to go to to try to balance convenience vs taste/quality. Let’s face it, the microwave oven has transformed our world more than we can probably quantify. It’s a modern miracle of … Read more
It’s been a few days since I had this new JVC stereo unit installed, and I’ve now taken several “trips” with it, plus I’ve tried to test out all the features I’m likely to ever use. Background I love music. I listen to lots of music – eclectic music, perhaps, but I’m never far from … Read more
Mostly because it’s sucking away from my blogging. You know how easy many pages make posting their articles to your facebook page by just putting a little button at the bottom of the article? It’s so easy, I forget to post the articles here instead. Did you know there are killer rabbits in Australia that … Read more

Installed Snow Leopard on the Mac Mini yesterday. It’s alright.
Yesterday was interesting. We were forced into accelerating our purchase of a new washer and dryer, and we went ahead and got front-loading units. They’re more economical and gentler on the clothes; however, I’ve never actually observed one in action. I spent hours watching the various programmed patterns: Normal, Heavily Soiled, Delicates, Towels, etc. Each … Read more
… when you’re working with those tricky decimal places! OK, I’m just posting this because sometimes, somebody needs to publicly shamed – otherwise people will just continue to wallow in stupidity. Mind you, I think the caller wasn’t doing the best of jobs trying to make his point, either.
You’ve got to love it when people can follow directions. Sometimes they don’t, though, and other times they get it so wrong you think they must be doing it out of spite. Case and point: notice exactly where this important piece of mail has been bent. Yes, that’s right, exactly on the words, “do not … Read more
