Woot Off Today! Who Cares?

Yeah big deal. There is a Woot Off today.  So what.
The previous bag of crap was announced only through Twitter, making it a total time-waster.  The bag of crap before that was total crap.
Jerk somebody else off this time Woot.  You bore me.

My Second Woot Bag of Crap!

My second Woot Bag of Crap is a real bag of crap!
I got my Woot Bag of Crap today and was pretty bummed out because (unlike my first Woot Bag of Crap) this one really was a total bag of crap.

April Blizzard!

Winters are long here in northern Wisconsin!

Waldo has a new home!

My little dog Waldo has gone off to live with my daughter.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!

Here is another version of Saint Patrick’s Breastplate:

Welcome Doodle, my new doggy!

I got myself a new doggy!
I was missing Patrick so much but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to take on the responsibility of another pet, and then I went out to lunch with some friends and they sort of talked me into it.
So I headed over to the Menominee Animal Shelter and picked out [...]

Tolerance: What Would Jesus Do?

I have been ridiculously busy lately and haven’t posted anything in ages but I ran across this amazing post today and I wanted to recommend it and link to it and share the last few paragraphs here.
Basically it is a case study in the practice of tolerance.  In modern society tolerance is held as the [...]

I got my Woot Bag of Crap!

I got my Woot Bag of Crap today!
It is so weird because there was really only one thing that I wanted and I actually GOT it!  I’ve been wanting a GPS navigational thing (but not enough to buy one) so that is what I was hoping for and sure enough, I got an Omnitech 4.3″ [...]
