  • Tale of a Broken Mouse

    I love my Logitech MX700 cordless rechargeable mouse, it is honestly the greatest thing since sliced bread. It's cordless, it is an optical mouse, it has back/forward buttons on the mouse, it has a nice scroll wheel, and it is incredibly comfortable to use, but a while back it stopped recharging. Luckily it takes AA NIMH rechargeable batteries, of which I have a rather large supply. I took to recharging it manually until it occurred to me that my mouse has a warranty, and this is where our story begins....

  • Microsoft Hardware

    A while back I wrote about a certain mouse manufacturer whose (at the time) very expensive mouse went belly up. At the time I made the bold claim: Here's the moral of this story: If you want a mouse, feel free to buy Logitech. They're great mice, and usually reasonably priced. If you're relying on that nice warranty they put on it... don't bother. Buy a Microsoft mouse. Microsoft will ship a replacement mouse the same day the first time you call. And Microsoft mice are usually cheaper for the same product. I guarantee the Microsoft mouse will fail sooner, they are not as solid of a product, but when it does, at least you will get a replacement in under six months. During the course of this week, I was forced to put that claim to the test....
  • NewEgg Customer Service

    I know a couple of you buy things from NewEgg from time to time. I've been a customer of theirs for years, and I'd like to share an experience I had that will keep me a customer for years to come. I bought three memory cards from them about two weeks...
  • Falls Creek Fallout

    We got back from Falls Creek yesterday. Wow. For those that don't know, Falls Creek is the largest youth camp in the world. Falls Creek is located in Davis, Oklahoma, and runs for eight weeks, and has an average attendance of five thousand children per week. Last year, over forty-four thousand children visited Falls Creek, and over five thousand made public decisions for Jesus Christ....

  • Youth Is Back!

    Well, the youth Wednesday night program started back up at church tonight. Pizza and games for tonight... and the games wore me out! I must be a bit more out of shape than I thought, either that or my asthma has come back a bit. Not a huge turn out, but...

  • Kristi isn't well... :(

    Kristi was having chest pains Friday and went to the emergency room at Hillcrest in a hurry. They've ran all kinds of tests (cat scan, MRI, EKG, EEG, heart cath) and they can't seem to find what the problem is. We're all really worried about...

  • Installed Community Server

    Well, I installed Community Server instead of Dot Net Nuke. Dot Net Nuke was great for ease of use and adding content, but it was not well suited for the type of community that I wanted to build and foster. It wasn't really made for collaborative...
  • Today I Installed Windows Vista

    Well... it was a bit more work than I thought, but I have windows vista all installed and playing nicely. Some nice new games including chess, and inkball. More on those later after I play some. The chess game seems to be moderate in easy mode. It doesn...

  • Small Blessings

    You probably already read in Shannon's blog about how we have no car right now. I got the mechanic's quote to fix the car on Friday. $3,300 for the engine, $350 for an install kit to replace some other worn parts, $100 for a transmission service ... all of that is taxable at about 9%. Add to that $1100 in labor, and $84 in towing. All up, about $5,300 to get the car running again....

  • A matter of introduction

    Almost everyone makes them... I'm talking about New Years Resolutions. Maybe you made one to lose weight, to lose a vice, just to enjoy life a bit more, or maybe even to make an important life decision. Shannon and I decided our NYR would be to have...

  • Dreaming of (a) Malibu

    So today while we were running errands out in Bixby (we went to Conrad Farms Market ) I stopped in at WestLake Ace Hardware to get another key cut for our new (old) '06 Malibu. Turns out that despite the small key size, and the car salesman's...
  • Dale Dug a Hole...

    Well, the hole from the plumbing is finally filled in. I have three shiny new cleanouts just barely peeking their tops over the soil level. Once the rain settles the soil in a bit more I'll trim them to be just beneath the soil level... we had a Bobcat...
