    Summer is almost here, time to replace the grill...

    I used to fill my tanks too when it was new.  After a while, I just did the swap.  They're usually in decent condition and they repaint and put a new label on them.

    Irvine Landfill Being Searched For Bodies

    Since becoming a parent, I can't stand to read anything that harms infants and children.  It nauseates me.  People that harm infants and children need to be put in jail forever with the most violent offenders that hate these infant/child harming bastards.

    Franchises

    I've heard that you can't just join any franchise you want, even if you've got the money for it.  McDonald's controls where to open new restaurants.  If you want in, you can't just pony up the money.  Since they're all money makers, you have to have connections to be able to buy in.  So if...

    I use Dropbox.  For non-personal info (like shortcuts to URLs), I store it on there normal.  For things like my password vault database, it's encrypted with AES 256 bit encryption before it leaves my laptops.  No company is immune from getting compromised.  Even RSA (company that makes your...

    Summer is almost here, time to replace the grill...

    I just exchange tanks. So for natural gas from the house, you need a different connector, right?  I think it's a different size and pressure or something?  I think that propane and natural gas from your home line use different adapters?

    Summer is almost here, time to replace the grill...

    I notice it's the cover that seems to wear out more than the grill itself.  It gets holes and the rope that binds the cover at the bottom deteriorates so that the bottom doesn't cinch any more.

    What do you encrypt your password list with?  Do you also encrypt your personal docs before storing to the cloud?  Do you worry about online storage disappearing a la megaupload?  I think online storage can serve a good purpose.  However, for privacy, you definitely need to encrypt with a strong...

    cox specials?

    We have DirecTV for cable TV as they're the only one that has NFL Ticket.  The wife is from North Dakota, college in Minnesota so need to get all games.  For internet/land line, we use Cox.  Just got Ooma for VOIP and testing it.  Looking good.  We'll port our home number to Ooma and drop Cox...

    Dieting

    I'm not a big gum chewer.  I grind my teeth enough at night that I have a mouth guard when I sleep.  I don't need to add more grinding during the day.  I've always been horrible at dieting and can't keep on one.  So what I have been doing is lowering the portions that I eat and drink more...

    Galaxy S III

    While there's no new wow-factor in the way it looks, it should be a screamer in terms of performance.  Although, I'm not sure what you'd do on it to really use the horsepower it's got.

    I don't know the answer to that one.  I'm actually not a big gamer like I used to be.  And my attention span for a game will last at most a few days/weeks.  Then I usually stop playing it for months.  Limited time stops me from playing a lot like I used to.

    If you have an Android tablet with a Tegra 3 chip, the new game Dark Meadow: The Pact is supposed to be really good.  Amazing graphics and fun game play similar to Myst.  It's also free.

    2012: Year of the [insert tablet here]?!?

    I'm still waiting on the upcoming tablets due in the summer.  Nothing out now is making me want to go out and buy it. It's interesting that the Fire is doing so well and is similar to the iPad in that it basically has it's own ecosystem, like the iPad, even though it's Android.  If you don't...

    Do you use the touch "joystick" to play?  Or do you use a physical gamepad like a bluetooth gamepad?  I don't play games on my phone or tablet that uses a joystick because I hate the touch joystick.

    VOIP Recommendation?

    So you can get Ooma with whatever number it comes with and test it.  If it works out, you can port your current home number to it?  And what would the cost be to port your current number? edit - I stopped being lazy and looked it up on their site. Want to keep your phone number? Just pay a...

    Try Linux on it.  Doh.. this is in response to your old WinBook you pulled out.

    Iris seemed too way out there.  The touch table concept of adding media/data to whatever was placed on top was very interesting.

    2012: Year of the [insert tablet here]?!?

    I am a Windows person.  The wife has a Macbook Pro.  I'm not holding out for Win8.  I've never been one of those that tries new OSes.  I let others work out the bugs.  I guess I'm waiting to see the upcoming Samsung tablet that's supposed to have a great high res screen and the new processor. ...

    That's interesting.  When they get 3D tech into that, it'll be pretty cool.

    Is the secret menu more expensive?  It looks bigger.
