Oh, hi there totally cool blog reader. I recently was linked to by Network Solutions for a little article I wrote… and shook with horror at the fact that I *still* hadn’t found the time to upgrade my blog look for the upcoming addition of tons of fun to Free Traffic Tips. So guess what I stayed up all night doing? 

That’s right! If you’re reading this via RSS, click through to the Free Traffic Tips site to see how fabulous the blog is now. The Multimedia section is really easy to find and scroll through, and we have a featured section for those of you who want to dive right into the most relevant content of the moment.

Tool Time Friday | Gremlins in my underwear, or….

something weird is going on!

Good morning!

Some of you may or may not have noticed that I have not been leaving comments to those who have commented.

Au contraire!

I always write comments – and, much to my chagrin, I just realized that my comments are not showing up in the comments section.

To all of you who think or thought that I was just being lazy – now you know what’s happened. I will try to fix this situation ASAP. Until I do solve this pesky problem, I will be emailing my comments to each and everyone of you.

Thanks for understanding.

Tool Time Friday | Want to download music videos without the ‘clunkiness’ of YouTube?

This is off topic -

I have a great site for you to visit and be able to not only download music videos, but be able to find the exact song you’re interested in, or your have a list of songs to down load from your favorite artist(s).

Once downloaded, you can make a DVD or a CD as this site will also let you listen to the song without the video.

I find this site a lot cleaner that YouTube, and so I’m giving this to you.  You’re welcome.

Tool Time Friday | How to take the drudgery out of posting/commenting

Stand back! Here it comes. You’re gonna love this one.

I can type about 50 wpm and then have to go back and correct about 25 mistakes. Not bad for an old fart who suffered from aphasia! Cindy, my beloved, can type 3 times as fast and rarely has to revise. I don’t know how she loves me as, obviously, I’m not her type. (Get it?)

Well, I ran across a friend (had to retype ‘friend’ three times) and he told me about this radio station that is just unbelievable.

Yes, it is.

SO, here’s the deal.

Tool Time Friday | A Shovel, A Snowblower and an Axe!

I have a treat for you, well maybe not a treat, but some personal information to share with you, like it or not.

Cindy, my wife, and I live in a small town called Truckee about 30 miles west of Reno, in California. The reason we moved here 12 years ago was to get out of the insanity, where all the ‘lowlanders’ live. We’re about 15 miles north of Lake Tahoe, which is a lake shared by both the state of Nevada and California. If you’ve ever watched one of the ‘God Father’ movies, the house on the lake wherein Michael’s brother Freddie got whacked in the boat while fishing, well that’s Lake Tahoe. Years ago we were fortunate enough to know somebody who knew somebody and we able to tour the estate and grounds.

Truckee has the honor of being the town which has the largest subdivision in the entire United States. It’s called ‘Tahoe Donner’ and that’s where most of the tourists either have a second home or rent out someone else’s home. That’s also where we go to do 90% of our ‘day job’ business. More on that later.

We, ourselves, live in a smallish community called ‘Sierra Meadows’ – the name says it all. Practically everyone who lives in our neighborhood lives here full time. We know the names of all our neighbors as well as their dogs. I do believe there are more dogs in this town, per capita, than anywhere else in the U.S.of A. At least it’s the most dog friendliest town.

Tool Time Friday | Calling all Engineers…

and all of the geeks who would love to be able to measure anything under the sun.

Unit Converter is a tool that can take care of all your unit conversions even when off line.

Yes, I know this is an unusual tool, but aren’t we all just a bit unusual at times!?

It has an easy-to-use interface and contains most of the units commonly encountered while solving engineering problems. With more than 650 units, you are likely to find the units you are looking for.

Other features include the ability to add user-friendly conversions. Everything is built into a single executable file so no uninstaller is necessary. Its small file size makes it easy to distribute among friends and co-workers.

Be sure to read the Editor’s review. As well a the comments further on down the page.

How Safari Drove Me Back Into Opera’s Arms and Why I’m Still Married to Firefox

< rant >
Dear Safari Three,

I Detest You.

You and I had such a good thing going. It’s true, I didn’t ever like your illogical bookmarking arrangement, or the fact that you would suddenly crash for no reason, when nothing else was open.

But your interface was cleaner, and we could maintain a separate relationship on the side when I didn’t feel like opening up Firefox. I’m sure you know you would never take his place. You seemed… happy… during our torrid affair.

I don’t know if it’s a mid-life crisis or what. But I’m not liking your little Safari 3.0 beta party clothes at all.

I used to be able to use you to make blog posts that I couldn’t in Firefox, like videos, and manual aligning of pictures, because you shunned the Visual Editor. That was one of the things I liked about you. But when you changed, I accepted it.

Self-Centered Syncopation of Stories, Maybe About You

I have been tagged in a Meme. 

Imagine my horror.

Not at memes, though the issue of timeliness often prevents me from participating. No, the horror is that I’m to answer five questions about myself. 

Because I never, ever, talk about my life, my attitude of gratitude, troubles, joys, or gossip about strange weeks, or anything of the sort, not in this blog.

Why would I do that when you can see me as some anonymous trouble maker on them internets, rather than an advisor, a business colleague, maybe even a friend one day?

All that sarcasm made me dizzy. Hat’s off to Heather at Home with Heather, who started all this madness in her birthday celebration (Happy Blirthday/Blogiversary!)
