I love a good hack, especially when I can accomplish it with some help from my Windows Live tools. You may find yourself somewhere that blocks access to BitTorrent. I’ll show you how to download and retrieve your torrents anywhere easily. Disclaimer: I have to give props to The How-to Geek for the idea (although, …
Viva la lists!
Here’s a quick tip for my fellow Spaces ex-pats out there. Remember lists? They were these really nifty containers for interesting links that you could display on your space’s main page.

Coming Soon
I’m in the process of setting up WordPress and transitioning my Windows Live Spaces content over here. Stay tuned for more posts.
The shortest path
My eldest son, three-year-old Logan, attended a friend’s birthday party at Jumpity Jump on Saturday. As you might glean from the name, it’s one of those event hosting places that caters to kids’ parties with huge inflatables and so forth.

Thinking outside the box

You’ve got a friend in the business
I was cleaning out some old files, when I came across a text document that contained the specs of a Gateway 2000 PC I purchased in early 1996. As there really was no standardized e-commerce in those days, you couldn’t order directly from their website (a reasonably close snapshot of which is pictured to the …
It’s in the mail
Yesterday morning, Ginny asked me to drop a birthday card in our mailbox on my way out of the house. No problem. Except that I was running late (as usual), so I dropped it on the front seat of my car, promptly forgot about it, backed out of the garage, and zoomed up the street …
