  • It's often more interesting watching people look at art than looking at the actual art. #
  • It doesn't seem possible that more junk could come out of the basement yet it does and it still looks full! #
  • This precipitation would be much more pleasant if it were snow. #
  • Carried all my Christmas decorations up from the basement today. Not getting an early start, just cleaning & purging. Gotta love a snow day. #
  • My sister Tami e-mailed me to say happy birthday. I don't have a sister named Tami nor is it my birthday, but it's the thought that counts. #

    The medals being presented at the Vancouver Winter Games have the distinction of being “first” in several ways. It’s the first time they aren’t flat. These medals are of an undulating design. Basically, that means they look wrinkled. Personally, I’m still not sure if i like that feature or not.

    They also are the first medals that aren’t all the same. Each medal is etched with a randomly cropped portion of a piece of Canadian First Nation artwork representing orca whales.

    However, the part that most caught my attention is the fact that the Vancouver medals have technology in them, but not in the way that you think. They don’t have chips in them. They actually have old technology items in them! Some of the metal used to mint the medals came from recycled e-waste. E-waste is a huge problem. I deal with it at work and at home. Old computer equipment and electronics build up at an astounding rate. I know that recycling a small amount of gold, silver and copper and reusing it in Olympic medals isn’t exactly going to solve the problem, but it’s nice to see an opportunity to better publicize the issue. I’m just sorry that I haven’t seen more about this in the media coverage or even on the VANOC website.

    You can read more about this on Bloomberg. You can also take a look at all of the past Olympic medals at the IOC site.

Some of the things I’m watching are the downhill which featured some spectacular crashes that hurt just watching them. Then I watched the snowboard half-pipe finals where the American women seem to keep crashing.

    After watching these athletes work through injuries and wondering how they persevere, I then read about this German luger who broke a tooth biting his silver medal. I guess it takes a special kind of guy to hurtle down an ice track at 90 mph on a tiny sled. The type of special guy that would chomp into a hunk of medal.

Ironically, I’m very much not a sports fan except maybe for watching the Phillies. However, I’ve always enjoyed watching the Olympics, especially the Winter Games. I think it’s a combination of the fact that you get to see sports that you don’t see very often (many of which aren’t team sports that I find boring) and the fact that for a few weeks people from various countries actually get together and participate in something just for fun without political posturing and other such silliness.

    So, get ready to see more blog entries over the next few weeks, and for the first time some tweets as well.

  • I can’t believe @Discovery cancelled American Chopper! The show was just starting to get good again. It could’ve made a comeback. #
  • No snow day tomorrow. :-( Oh well, can’t have it all. At least we got a snowy weekend. #
  • @Pogue What’s worse is CapitalOne Bank says they’ll only support Quicken 2010 soon. Dropped 07 users in Dec but rolled back change for now. in reply to Pogue #
  • While I couldn’t care less about football, it’s nice to see the people of NOLA celebrating something positive after a crappy few years. #

  • Nothing ruins 2 snows days off from work like a slip & fall injury. Oh well, could be worse, I could’ve run myself over with the snowblower. #
  • How odd, my credit card company called. They flagged a $20 charitable donation as suspicious. Better too safe than not safe enough, I guess. #
  • If this injury has taught me anything it’s that I’ll now have a point of reference anytime I call something a pain in the ass. #

The last update was several years ago and things have changed drastically in the past few years. Malware is nastier than ever. It poses as your anti-virus program, it blocks you from  removing it and much more. Hopefully this updated guide will assist you in preventing and maybe even removing this stuff. One thing that seems to have changed as well is that the average user may not always be able to remove these things without professional help, so prevention is stll the best policy.

    You’ll be seeing many more updates to the site in the next few days. I’m slowly bringing it up to date and making it more useful.

  • I finally posted my mom’s crocheted towel catalog online. She’s making them by the dozen. DM or e-mail if you want any. http://bit.ly/32PTIn #
  • Just posted some stuff on @eBay for the first time in a while. OMG their fees have become outrageous! http://bit.ly/2QWAg8 #
  • Almost caught up on the e-mail backlog. I’ve been really bad at that lately. Now time to finally finish writing my Christmas card letter! #
  • So tired of seeing actors from the Twilight movie on every show I watch. Fast-forwarded though most of Jay Leno’s guests this week. #newmoon #
  • Stores really need to train cashiers. Told cashier she hit wrong key. She got snotty & said she’s right. Then I was mischarged. Infuriating! #
  • @google just indexed my last tweet & sent me an alert 5 minutes after I posted it. Very impressive! #
  • RT @BrentSpiner: “Doesn’t it seem like Pete Rose should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame? … he got more hits than anyone.” – I agree #

  • Dear #Phillies Now would be the time for a come from behind victory. You go ahead & do that. I’ll stay here and watch. Thanks in advance. #

  • Mums & pumpkins & corn stalks, oh my! It’s Fall decorating day. #
  • RT @wolfblitzercnn: “I think there’s more to the Northwest pilots story than simply using laptops in the cockpit.” – there has to be more #
  • Just saw a “Santa for Hire” sign along the roadside. The bad economy is taking a toll on everyone, I guess. #
  • RT @kevinrose: “Like bacon?, move to SF http://yfrog.com/j5g8tj" – Yum! Hope Dunkin Donuts is listening! Bacon makes everything better. #
  • @embly917 If not for the whole diabetes thing, I’d definitely have stopped for candy. Maybe Stan’s “hyper pug” costume was scaring them. in reply to embly917 #

  • You know, I’ve missed the Fail Whale. Oh, wait here he comes now. Thanks Twitter. :-/ #

  • If starting a bonfire in your office trashcan to stay warm is wrong, then I don’t want to be right. #
  • Jimmy Rollins FTW!!! Go Phillies! #
  • @ebrantner “1st official tweet… so confused :) ” – no one understands Twitter , yet everyone uses it constantly. It’s oddly addicting. #
  • I feel like Mr. Rogers. Come to work, take off my coat, put on my heavy sweater. It’s wonderful day in the very cold neighborhood. #
  • Posted 4 new photo albums, Orange County Choppers, Oktoberfest in VT, Yankee Candle Village in MA & Cranberry Festival http://bit.ly/19CEm9 #
  • It’s official… The Philadelphia Phillies are going to the World Series again!!! #
