I’ve been toying with the idea of home automation for several years. The expense has been one of the highest priorities, as I don’t like spending where it’s not necessary. With some bonus money over the past year or two, I’ve been able to make some additions that didn’t break the bank. I was looking […]

Memories
I have written very little on here for quite some time. Not that I think it is a requirement or anything, but I started this so that I could keep somewhat of a record of what is going on in my life. A friend of Alaina’s found my blog a few months ago and has been […]
Health
For most of my 38 years, I have lived a life of no concern for my health. I have done things to jeopardize my health and well-being, but I wasn’t really concerned about it. I have gotten rid of unhealthy vices, and I don’t feel the need to return to them (other than Blue-Bell). I’ll still […]
Simplify
I’ve decided to go back to the simplicity of WordPress… going to go back to putting updates here. Not that I’ve been posting any updates anywhere else… I’ve been thinking about it, though.
Open Carry Long Rifle In Texas
I just saw this story on The Blaze about a guy carrying an AR-15 on his back at Parkdale Mall in Beaumont, TX. Apparently several people were scared by this and called the police.

My Computer Experience So Far
My first experience with a computer, if I remember correctly, was playing the Atari with Dad in the living room of the trailer we lived in the early 1980s. I distinctly remember playing pong, but there may have been other games. While some of you may not consider that a computer, I will take this […]
Online Tools for Writing
I’ve recently started using two tools for writing that are new to me. Bubbl.us is a mind mapping tool (think brainstorm chart) that helps put ideas on your screen. It really helps put all ideas on the screen in a manner that makes it easy to weed out weak ideas for the stronger ones (or […]
Roku
I have spent a long time working on our network here at the house. One of my primary purposes for doing this is media consumption. While constantly consuming media is not something I would recommend, it helps to make things run as smoothly as possible and user friendly for the whole family. What seems like […]
2014
I get the feeling that I am supposed to be writing. I have found a few places that allow me to be creative in that, but there’s not that many out there. As I’ve said before, I am going to try to write a little more frequently on here so that my ability to move […]
FYI – My Experience with Police
You may have noticed my recent posts have been about how to handle yourself when encountering the police. Personally, I have only had decent encounters, with one minor complaint that did not infringe on my rights. My immediate reaction to police is to respect their authority. This is probably wrong. I have never had my […]
