I'm pretty honored to get this... out of all I did this year at Lodge... The child I'D thing is the one that'll have longest reaching affect.

Better product placement.. Or embarassed nerds?

Product placement

It's all about the upsell.

Adapter Hell

Ok -- why is it I have fourteen thousand different adapters . . . one for each little electronic device that has littered my life. I had the Pocket PC 6700 and for once thought someone got it right. . . it used mini-USB connector and standard voltage. Then I bought my Motorola H500 blue-tooth headset and eureka -- the same nirvana with min-USB. Now I've been "upgraded" to a Palm 700WX phone, and I've got two ports . . . one is my data connector, the other my power cord. The power cord is a spindly thin plastic piece that plugs in and has same voltage (5 volts) as other devices. Why must we subject ourselves to this nonsense? But it gets better . . . the new Motorola HS850 blue-tooth headset uses another wacky plug -- totally incompatible with the H500 one. UGH!!!! All my accessories and cords I had gained are now useless on the new devices, and now I have to buy new cords/adapters for the new devices. The new device (Palm 700WX) didn't even come with a charging base like my 6700 did. Technology sometimes just doesn't make sense . . . or is it corporate greed that doesn't make sense? Your call.

Katie's 5th Birthday Present - Computer Desk

Baptism.

A symbol of my re-birth. I'm not who I was before.

Pets gone wild

Storms Brewing

Wish my phone would have captured the same photo I snapped. This is the storms that rolled through and brought heavy rain and hail, and then tornadoes to the south of Kansas City area. The picture that I HAD on my camera was beautiful with lightning in the clouds, the building . . . it was gorgeous. Unfortunately there's like a lag and then what photo is stored is different than what's on the screen. If you move before it's done, your screwed . . . hence this blurred shot. Ugh. Oh well.

Very handy

Reverent

Today I'm dressed up because one of the guys from my Lodge passed away earlier this week. He was one of the ones who installed me as Worshipful Master for the Lodge and I remember him giving me some parts of my initiation into Lodge. It's a sad day for me.

President Bush Landing Downtown Kansas City Airport

Air Force One lands at airport -- the sight of that big plane coming in and reverse thrusters full blast tossing snow . . .it's very impressive.

Taxiing along the runway -- best photo of tail with US Flag

It was cold waiting, but very neat to see the Presidential motorcade go by on the Broadway bridge

Bush coming?

Great day girl

When it rains, it pours

Here was my latest house repair. I suspect the dishwasher install caused this issue. No damage luckily. . . Just a basket of nasty water. Yuck!

Wire theft

Wire theft tools?
