I stop in to the local Starbucks almost everyday. Naturally, you eventually get to know the other regulars who transform from acquaintence to friend. Recently a bunch of us regulars have all gotten iPhones. About a week ago, they were chatting about this game Wurdle. I hadn’t heard of it, but for $1.99 I decided… Continue reading Wurdle: Thou art addicting

The Bailout: Handout or Investment?
This morning I received an email from one of my oldest friends. A friend from high school, he’s an ex-navy guy, staunch Republican, and currently living in Kuwait, helping with something that he’s been a bit guarded in sharing details about. Almost daily, he forwards me an email or two. I imagine I’m on a… Continue reading The Bailout: Handout or Investment?

Comments, participation is king
Tyson Crosbie is a local Phoenix photographer that I have met “virtually” through Twitter. Many of the Phoenix area folks I follow on Twitter have recently had Tyson help them create excellent avatars for their online profile, as well as head shots for their business profile/cards/resume/etc. It was a little over a month ago, that… Continue reading Comments, participation is king
Giving Evernote a shot
I take notes on yellow legal pads for each phone call. These rough notes remind me who I talked to, their phone number, hopefully what property it is regarding, etc.. The trouble is, the legal pads are in the office, so that when I’m at home, in the car, wherever, away from my notes, I… Continue reading Giving Evernote a shot
The Diamondbacks are Off to an Amazing Start

With the Suns now out in the first round, all eyes in Phoenix will be on the DBacks for the foreseeable future. The DBacks finished April with the best record… Continue reading The Diamondbacks are Off to an Amazing Start
Upgraded my side door to wordpress 2.5
What better blog to be the guinea pig for WordPress 2.5, then my personal blog that I know almost no one reads. Out of the box, I love the new interaction with plug-ins. In 2.3, we got notification that plug-ins were out-of-date. Now with 2.5, we get a way to download and install plug-ins that… Continue reading Upgraded my side door to wordpress 2.5
Quick update: broken Canon camera
Just a quick update on my broken camera. Canon confirmed receipt of the camera at their repair facility today. Also, Jefferson Graham from USA Today contacted me yesterday to discuss my broken camera. He said he personally had 3 Canon cameras fail, and wanted to know more about mine and my experience. I let him… Continue reading Quick update: broken Canon camera
WordPress 2.3 Upgrade
WordPress is the software for this blogging platform. They released their latest version 9 days ago, and I naturally waited for the more experienced bloggers to do the upgrade before I ventured into the craziness. I figured let someone else be the guinea pigs. Well, there were enough posts about it for me to get… Continue reading WordPress 2.3 Upgrade
Ninjitsu update
I posted about Maui Saito’s Ninjitsu on the Phoenix Area Real Estate Blog today. That post describes a bit about what Master Maui’s trying to teach and how it differs from many of the martial arts programs that are out there. But, you haven’t heard anything about what I’m actually doing. I’m loving the martial… Continue reading Ninjitsu update
