This morning both of my sites, this one and The Fun Addicts site, hosted at Dreamhost have been up and down intermittently. Obviously this blog is up right now. Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to make this post and you wouldn’t be able to read it. So if you attempt to view the site or [...]
As you can see, I’ve changed the theme (a.k.a. template) again. This time it was sort of out of necessity. Today I upgraded my site to WordPress version 2.1 and thought I had everything working properly, but tonight when I visited Mike at work and saw this blog in Internet Explorer 6, I was horrified. [...]
The title of this post is from the lyrics of a hymn, but it describes how I spent almost all of yesterday and most of the evening before. My son Mike is limping along with an older HP laptop onto which he downloads the pictures he has taken with his snazzy, new 10.1 megapixel Canon [...]
In this 40 minute video, Robert Scoble is given a tour of Intel’s fabrication facility in Hillsboro, OR., where Mark Bohr explains the process and discusses the new 45 nm processor that Intel is developing. My thanks to Mr. Scoble for making it possible for me to embed the video here on my blog. Videos [...]
I discovered this site this morning and played around with it a bit. I found it rather fascinating and thought I’d show you the results of uploading my photo and having the site search of celebrity matches for it. It appears that I might have been able to serve as a stand in for Philip [...]
012407 Phoenix-Grand Canyon Trip 039 Originally uploaded by Dr Reelgood. This is one of a number of outstanding pictures Mike got during his recent trip to the Grand Canyon. I particularly like this one, when viewed in a larger resolution (which you can do on his Flickr site). If you haven’t yet checked out this [...]
Yesterday in a series of email exchanges, Mike and Daryl and I discussed how we might modify what we are doing with the KnoxBloggers group so as to encourage more people to participate and at the same time place less demands on those with busy schedules. We came up with some ideas that we think [...]
My friend Daryl Houston details the events leading up to tonight’s get together at the library here in West Knoxville. I’m looking forward to exchanging performances with him of reading poetry aloud to each other. My point in our exchange last week was that I’ve always thought that many people don’t care for poetry because [...]
Yavapai Point Buck Originally uploaded by Dr Reelgood. Mike, Cheryl and Connor traveled to Arizona over this last weekend because Cheryl, who works for Morgan Stanley, had a meeting in Scottsdale on Monday. They went out early so they could travel down to the Grand Canyon on a mini-vacation and sight-seeing tour. Of course, one [...]
Back in the late 1970s while I was still a member of the S.P.E.B.S.Q.S.A., Inc. (now called the Barbershop Harmony Society), I was privileged to be a member of a quartet called the Fun Addicts. Bob Wilson (tenor), Forrest Umberger (lead), and Phil Petty (bass) were the other members. We sang together all over the [...]
