Why I won’t be getting an iPhone
Sorry for the light posting as of late. I’ve been swamped at work, and trying to spend less time online at home. That, and I didn’t really have anything to post about… Anyway. My wife asked me last night why I didn’t want an iPhone. And as soon as I came in this morning, coworkers…

Nectar of the gods
Ah, caffeine, how do I love thee? Jolt Cola’s held a special place in my heart for a number of years. I used to get them at a store called “Sportsman’s Corner” in Edgefield, SC, but they stopped carrying them. Jolt was nowhere to be found in this area… Flash forward to this past weekend…

Up and Running Again

Wish Me Luck
I screwed up my laptop earlier this week while trying to install CS3 Web Premium. I tweaked some Registry settings on my laptop without doing a backup, and guess what? I screwed it up. I thought I’d have Windows Restore to fall back on, but alas, that is not the case. It’s not completely screwed……

Brief Hiatus
Posting will be light through next week. I’ve got a number of things I’m trying to wrap up and this site can definitely be a distraction sometimes. I’ll return to my normal posting schedule soon!
