—- Didn’t Fix Computers I tried to fix Deann’s computer tonight and failed. Bean found a fix for her problem on her own. And last night I was unable to fix Sam’s computer. And I thought I had gotten out of the Computer Guy business. Grr. —- Missed Kite Fight I was at Bernal Hill […]
At the beginning of June, I’ll be moving to California, the San Francisco East Bay to be exact! Why am I moving? I’m moving to follow my bliss. Last summer I went to the Burning Man festival in Nevada, an event with a large population from the Bay Area. The event opened my eyes and […]
I went I went to the East Coast Hobby Show in Fort Washington, PA looking to speak with manufacturers and remote control know-it-alls for a project. What a total frigging waste of time. The website and the advertising material blatantly lies about what kind of a show it is. It is billed as a “full […]

I was the facilitator for the SOFFA (Significant Other, Friend, Family, or Allies) panel. It went well. It occurs to me […]

After getting ready to be very mad at D-Link for selling me hope (only to have that hope dashed against the rocks of not-working-ness) I am happy with my new sexy little D-Link DWL-122 Wireless 802.11 USB adapter. Isn’t it just the cutest thing you ever did see? You see, I’m all excited because this […]
Computer guy is a real business! I made something like $400 this weekend! I’m still selling Marilyn Merlots on eBay too… I just invested another $1500 in stock and it’s selling at a pace, 1-2 bottles per week. Living at home is going fine. I’d rather be completely on my own, but living here has […]
