My new watch
I ordered a watch for less than $10 (including shipping) online – it looked cool in the ad and now that I’ve got it I think it’s really neat. I love watches that don’t get in the way, and this one qualifies. As you can see from the picture, you push a button and some […]

“Eating with a spoon, they won’t give you a knife” (video)
Nathan and I went to an El Pollo Loco for a quick lunch – the food is pretty healthy, fast, and tasty (he agreed just so you kn0w). But, they only gave him a fork and spoon to eat a two-piece lunch. Of course, I thought of Peter Gabriel’s wonderful “Lead a Normal Life,” and […]

Pictures: Toastmasters Leadership Institute and some others
I attended Toastmasters leadership training last Saturday – all club officers try to attend training twice a year; clubs get credit towards their goals by having at least 4 officers training twice in the year. We also had an offsite meeting for work to talk about offshoring; I took a picture of a cool flowering […]
