The Exploding DVD
by Mike on Feb.06, 2010, under General
So a few weeks ago, Johanna’s brother Brian asked me to build him a computer. I had the whole thing put together, and it was running perfectly. My own media center was having problems with a netflix DVD that day, so I thought I would see if this brand-spankin’-new wicked-awesome computer could play it any better. Bad idea.
The Great Website Migration of 2009
by Mike on Jul.18, 2009, under General
I have been spending a lot of time this weekend migrating several websites and all related email from my in-house server to a dedicated web host…and I think I am done. Who would have thought that it would take 2 days to move 3+ gigs of email and web data around. Anywho, the website should run a WHOLE lot faster now that it isn’t being served up over a residential internet connection.
Christmas List (Mike version)
by Mike on Nov.22, 2008, under General
Johanna and I have been telling each other that we need to find time to go Christmas shopping, but before we do that we need to put together Christmas lists of what we want. Normally I am not the type of person to put together a list, it makes me feel needy. But this time around, I thought we could turn this into something a little more fun. So I am posting my list online for all my friends and family to see.

First I get ‘caught up’ on this blog by making my first post in a while, then while preparing to upload the pictures that were part of that post, I find out that someone out there has FINALLY made it possible for me to use Google Picasa (a VERY user-friendly photo manager) with my own online photo gallery!
The kids are watching…

The past couple of days, I have noticed that the kids are mimicking me…and depending on who you ask, it’s either really cute, or it’s justice and I deserve every bit of it. Lemme ‘splain.
