As I wrote about earlier, we use Hulu for a lot of our television. It works great. We hardly notice its biggest drawback, the fact that television shows aren’t available for viewing on Hulu until they day after they air. We’re big fans of Lost and Dancing With the Stars.

The other week I read Made from Scratch: Discovering the Pleasures of a Handmade Life by Jenna Woginrich. It chronicles Jenna’s experiences as she tries to simplify her life and become more self sufficient. It’s an excellent book for anyone just starting down that path. The book is broken into subject areas. Each subject area [...] I was working on a book review for today. As you can see, I didn’t make it. I’ll get it done for Monday.

Randy had cancer and was given less than a year to live when he gave what came to be known as his last lecture. I hadn’t taken the time to listen to it until today. It’s just as inspirational as I’d heard. What I wasn’t prepared for was how laugh-out-loud funny [...] Erroll and I were in the minority when it came to TV watching. We didn’t have cable. Instead we used a TV antenna to bring in about ten channels. Yep, it’s true. We were still using technology from the 1950′s to watch our TV in 2008. This system has worked great for me over the [...] Yesterday I treated myself to a trip to the used book store. I was checking out the cookbook section when something caught my eye, Wookiee Cookies: A Star Wars Cookbook. There’s a Star Wars cookbook? Who knew? The cookbook is aimed at children. However there’s obviously a lot here for science fiction fans like myself. [...] |
