Just had these printed. I took the name “Night Owl Services” from the name of a now retired work-at-home drafter that named her company “Night Owl Drafting”. I liked it as it is indicative of my “hours of operation”! I’m still open to ideas since I haven’t pulled a business license yet but I really […]
Well, my employer went ahead and got me business cards printed. The last two times I’ve had business cards printed for me by an employer, I was soon to lose my job! Of course in this case, I may soon be quitting instead of being fired or laid off. This is quite an interesting time […]
So I heard what sounded like a rather fictional story on the radio about the background of Valentine’s Day so I decided to do a little research on the subject and add my thoughts to it: As it turns out, a good portion of the legend is true but the origins of the holiday are […]
Try and guess what this is a picture of… The first to guess get’s a prize: the satisfaction of being first!
For those of you that are interested in my cats here you go:
These last couple of entries were made from my laptop (from bed) via my new wireless router! I’m reminded of the Jack Nickolson movie where he was instant messaging his love from bed. In my case, my wife is right next to me (snoring in fact) while I type this in the dark. I just […]
After a log period of searching and a good $4 at Fry’s Electronics, I finally found the perfect mousepad. As you can see from the photo, it’s a “tad” larger than the normal size but I do think it will work just perfectly. Since I work on dual 21″ screens, having a lot of area […]
It’s on nights like tonight that I’m glad I’m not rich. I just spent $40 and came home with TWO wireless-G routers. One from eBay and one from Fry’s electronics. I’ve already tested the one from Fry’s and it works perfectly. I can now surf anywhere in the house with my laptop at a pretty […]
I managed to miss the superbowl last Sunday -not that I cared that much about it. The only real bummer was the fact that I missed watching all those funny commercials. Well thanks to websites like this one: http://dyn.ifilm.com/superbowlads/ I got to watch all of them to my heart’s content! Pretty funny stuff if you […]
Well considering just how much I talk on the phone while I drive, I suppose it was just a matter of time before I replaced my current headset with something more “advanced”… I like this pic ’cause of several reasons: I like the Mini Cooper she’s driving (that I can’t afford), I like stylish sunglasses […]
I’m 34 years old now. Yet sometimes I feel like I’m still just a 14 year old kid that just gets to do grown-up things from time to time. I remember last night having to drive to the local grocery store to pick up a few small things and the feeling came over me: “Isn’t […]
Well I still can’t talk much about my business idea or it’s plans but I can mention that I’m going to be working on this very intensely once all my current projects are completed. I plan on having this up and running in the next two months. I’ve gone ahead and told my wife not […]
Well she waited 50 years for the chance to do it and now she’s hooked! I fully expect her to be nearly covered within the next few years. She found a terrific female artist in Tehachapi and will probably have all her work done through her from now on. I’ve had to photograph her back […]
Still lingering at 215lbs. But I’m not sad about it (well, maybe a little). The fact is that my diet is changing drastically. I’m eating fruit regularly, smaller and more regular meals, no soda during the week, and between a half and a full gallon of water each day. That is a HUGE change in […]
It looks like I may have stumbled on to what may turn out to be the ONE thing that I do as a business from now on! In fact it’s so valuable that I really can’t talk about it in detail here anymore. Suffice it to say, this could be huge! Once I get the […]
Man! It’s been forever since I’ve had a moment just to sit down and write here!! I miss getting all my thoughts and struggles out. I’ve been busier than a one-armed painter with an itch and I don’t expect things to change for another few days. I’m working in Van Nuys averaging 15 hours from […]
I found a rather interesting list on the internet a while back called “101 Contradictions In The Bible”. Interestingly enough, the list can be found on an Islamic website here. I’ve decided to take on each one of these items myself and study them out. I’m of the belief that if the Bible is God’s […]
I’m starting to realize the depth and breadth of just how many directions I am able to go in regarding my business. I mean I thought I was a bit “diversified” in December just providing a variety of technical services to business and individuals but that was before I realized several other potential offerings:
Well my business plans are ever changing. I’ve now concluded that I may be able to work on computers after all. By setting up monthly maintenance plans with clients, I will be able to start creating reliable and predictable regular income, and be able to work on computers in a more controlled environment where I’m […]
According to this BBC article, Monday, January 24th, is expected to be the most miserable day of the year. It seems that some professor at Cardiff University has managed to calculate down to the exact day the most miserable day of the entire year. Factors like the cold weather, realizations about holiday spending debt, and […]
I’ve been tired all Monday and was begging to just get some sleep. Got home late and was already looking at a short night before having to get up super early to get to work on time Tuesday. I went to sleep at 11pm and managed to wake up at 1am thinking it was actually […]
Just completed a rather quick rewiring job for a client. I’d have done more but the system just didn’t warrant any more work than this. Although the wiring looks nice, it does serve a purpose in providing proper airflow…
The sunsets here are just the best I’ve ever seen. The only trick is that they don’t last but a few short moments. Here are a couple I shot the other day…
Thought I’d share some pics of our two youngest cats in the house:
A lot of hard work! Here’s just a small sampling of the work I’ve been doing the past week: This is only one of THREE boxes of CD’s I’m ripping at the moment! I’ve been ripping CD’s and collecting MP3’s since 1997 -nearly the origin of the file format! Back then, we had to use […]
