The News: Rockin’ Out Edition There are times when I really kind of wish I could tell you in more detail what I'm doing, because I think it's neat. But in the interest of at least a modicum of personal privacy I tend to be pretty vague.... Continued
The News: Not Sure If I’m Coming or Going Edition I swear, I'm not really working that many hours. But it's really hard to figure out what day it is, what time it is, where I'm supposed to be, and if I've eaten or taken my pills when I'm supposed to. One m... Continued
The News: Still Shivering Edition As if I thought it would get warmer. Nope, not even a little. The temperature has dropped another ten degrees, and the wind chill has dropped accordingly. I offered to pay the next gas bill if I could turn ... Continued
Turn Your Old Personal Electronics Into Cash Just a guess here: there are, right now, at least two out-of-date, no longer used phones or MP3 players sitting in a dresser drawer, a box in the closet, or roaming around on your desk, right? It's how it w... Continued
