Enough with the negative stuff I’ve been posting lately.  I not sure why but I was reminded the other day about this show I watched as a kid in England called, “It’s a Knockout”…it’s the Euro counterpart (later rounds) “Jeux Sans Frontieres”.  And if you thought it had anything to do with Peter Gabriel, well, the TV show was the inspiration behind the song.

I’ve no idea what I did but something on my blog is broke.  I think it has something to do with the permalinks but there’s probably more.  So, while I figure out how I screwed up, chances are you’ll run into the 404 error page a bit if your are looking around.  Sorry, I’ll figure it out soon I hope.
If anyone can figure out why my category links are suddenly messed up, please let me know.

C’mon, we’ve heard for years that health care isn’t affordable in this country for many.  That may be true.  I guess I’ve been fortunate.

No idea why I was thinking about this but I just felt like looking them up…and then sharing them.

Ya know, I saw a link to this one on YouTube and remembered…well, until I saw it again. This ad must have come out in the early 80’s, thing is, back then I was just a kid and didn’t realize the racist (or at least stereotyping) in this one.

Ok, you couldn’t put these on the air today but you hafta admit, these ads are classic.

How about, James Bond meets a box …

I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned it on here or not but last year my wife and I bought our first house.  After being a renter for nearly 20 years, I knew this would be a change and I’d have to learn a lot of new things.  I was right.  There have been a few things which I’ve come across which I would never have dealt with had we remained renters.  I figured these types of things might be fun to post.  Who knows, maybe someone will find the posts …

Probably the most important thing about creating and maintaining a blog is to keep it current with fresh information. After all, why go through the hassle of putting something together if you aren’t going to do anything with yet. Yeah, I’ll buy the “cuz the creating is the fun bit” argument but, well, for a blog to be anything, it needs regular updates—you need to post regularly. Ha, I guess I’ve failed there.
 
It’s not as if I haven’t had much to say the last month. I …

It’s taken a couple of weeks but I think I’ve just about got this site ready to go. I’ve had to ‘fiddle’ with a number of settings and these wordpress plugins can be a pain but I’ve just about got what I’m looking for. It’s amusing though. Rule One on things like this, and most processes and developments in general, is to have things working, then make a minor change and see how that alters things (good, bad or other) and go from there.

Of course, playing with something like …

So, I’m Working on a paper late last night. I finish a little midnight and I’m not tired…something to do with caffeine I think. So, I’ve got some tunes playing and I’m just bumping around the internet when I realize I’d promised myself I’d do something with the domain I bought my dad….heck, I’ve been paying for it.
