For those of you who want a quick little 2009 Tech recap this is for you. Most interesting for me was Chrome being picked as the web browser of the year. I haven’t looked at it much, but now I just may. It will take a lot for this Mac/PC user to walk away from [...]

10. Brush your teeth. No one wants to talk to you with coffee covering up morning breath. 9. Get the bikes, scooters, skateboard and chewed up pizza box out of the front yard. Good grief man, you look like a redneck. 8. Wipe up breakfast. Chocolate donuts were a great idea, but now they are [...]

Don’t Be Alarmed
I’m just playing with themes. I get very dissatisfied with themes and begin looking for that ‘perfect’ theme. It is an endless pursuit.

Plant & Thrive

Let Me Ask You 3 Questions
