Random thoughts, musings and things I think are interesting…

I had two very different football experiences this weekend, with a surprising similarity.  On Saturday, my Kentucky Wildcats traveled to Bloomington, Indiana to play the Hoosiers, members of the Big 10 conference.  It was a very disappointing game.  We got run over in almost every aspect of the game.  we couldn’t run…they ran all over…

Guess I will have to be doing more of my posts on the road.  For some reason, now that I have switched my home broadband service, my access to my WP admin page has really slowed down.  The blog page itself still loads fine, but the admin page takes for ever.  What’s really odd is…

Some of you may know that we’ve been in the process of finding a new house.  We found the perfect one a few weeks ago and went ahead and made an offer that wasn’t contingent on the sale of our existing home.  That put us in the uneviable position of having to pay two mortgages…

I’ve been working on getting my relatives and friends to access my blog via RSS so they always know when something is new and don’t check too often (and get disappointed) or to infrequently (and fall out of habit). This is a good explanation from Seth and even has given me a few ideas about…

I am officially starting a moratorium on updating the structure of my blog and podcast site starting on September 1st for the month.  I’ve been doing a lot of little tweaks lately and I think I’ve crossed the line of dimishing returns.  I also find it a lot easier to do the structure stuff than…
