Cold weather and early darkness…

welcome autumn to the swamplands. It seems as if when there’s a chill in the air and the wind blows the leaves around in big swirling tornado-spins in the middle of the street – -I yearn for a cup of coffee around 6:00 p.m. Now, this is a bad habit. Everyone will admit it, unless [...]

Ever heard of Colloidal Silver?

Do you know enough about colloidal silver? Are you sure? Six degrees of separation story: we have about 40 empty brown bottles given to us from a Danish woman who has been taking it over 50 years. Really, freecycle is a wonderful thing. She swears by it saying colloidal silver saved her life. How odd [...]

Carnegie Mellon stomped Stanford in DARPA challenge

Alright, so stomped is rather mean. Let’s just say that Stanford didn’t win the $2 million check. I always root for Carnegie Mellon, what with my step-daughter and her husband both attending the University of Pittsburgh and living walking distance from the colleges around Pitt.
Never thought I’d like Pittsburgh, PA, btw. It is, surprisingly, [...]

Metal Buildings Reviewed

A change in leaf color is taking place just outside my home office window. The tree is a two story Japanese Maple full of stunning orange/red glow. Next to that is my frontporch roof in all its shingled glory. I so wish our home had a metal rool like my next door neighbor does. She, [...]

So it begins! Google Enters the Wireless World says the New York Times.
“We are not building a GPhone; we are enabling 1,000 people to build a GPhone,” said Andy Rubin, Google’s director of mobile platforms, who led the effort to develop the software.

Steel Buildings Reviewed

I know a thing or two about hurricanes. Heck, we’ve been through 4 or 5 here in downtown Washington, NC. The winds and water do serious damage to property. Cleaning up after these is horrible. It’s exhausting just to assess the damage. The repair and rebuilding process is a whole other story. Steel Buildings [...]

Does your portfolio include CitiBank or is it CitiBlank?

Ever thought you were having a bad day because you couldn’t find your keys? Like your day started out crappy and you hoped it wouldn’t continue that way? Like when you need to be sitting in a conference room in 20 minutes and you’re in a panic because you still can’t find where the grandkids put [...]
