Tale of the Tooth II

     Went to the oral surgeon today and I am seriously impressed.  The procedure was done with local anesthesia and was totally painless.  The only odd part was when he was hitting the chisel with a hammer.  Go

Tale of the Tooth

Thursday, 22 April 2010 12:00 A GMT-05
     I cracked a wisdom tooth and need it removed.  The pain is surprising.  The dentist tells me it will be an easy removal compared to the one I had removed fifteen years ago.  I am so thankful for vicodin. &

Twitter, Facebook and Social Networking

Monday, 19 October 2009 12:00 A GMT-05
I've given up on Twitter.  I found the concept interesting but the spammers got involved and would get ten new followers a day that were just porn sites.  I stopped posting there but still use it to keep track of interesting people like

Videora for the Ipod Touch

Tuesday, 17 March 2009 12:00 A GMT-05
When I first got the Ipod Touch I put photographs and music on it.  I wanted to do more but couldn't find an easy way to do some of it.  Movies were a bit frustrating as you had to convert and transfer them from the dvd.  Then I fo

Pictures

Sunday, 12 October 2008 2:28 A GMT-05
One of the things that has kept me busy is organizing photographs.  Since I am the one doing genealogy and family history I have inherited boxes upon boxes of photographs.  I've decided that it really isn't fair that I keep them to

Tigers Jaw

Wednesday, 3 September 2008 12:00 A GMT-05
