Driving into work today I heard one of those commercials where some company is swearing that they can “call off” your creditors, “settle for less” with them and give you one small easy monthly payment to get everything paid off. And then it hit me like a ton of bricks. When my wife married me not only did she get stuck with me but she also inherited my credit report. She knew all about it and still married me (I keep reminding myself how lucky I am). I know my debt was not nearly as much as some people...

Find Your U.S. Congressman Or Senator Fast
Why would I do that? Why do I need to know who my Congressman or Senator is? Well, I guess that depends. If you care about the choices that your Senator or Congressman is making on your behalf (that is what is right?), then you need to know who who they are and how to get a hold of them. If you don’t care what is going on in this great country, then I guess you can stop reading here. I know what district I live in and who my representatives are. Unfortunately my Senators are Carl Levin (D)...
LifeHacker.com Brings You Everything You Need To Know
Well, I guess part of what I will do here is review some websites. Well, I won’t regularly reviewing website and I don’t even know if I will call it them reviews. Mainly because I can’t imagine really taking the time to write about any website unless I really like it. That brings us to one of my favorite websites – LifeHacker.com. When I first found this site, and I can’t remember when or how that was I thought it had a cool name, but didn’t really understand it. Once I got to digging around the site I realized...
What Was Your First Thought Of This Obama Picture?
My first thought: “Oh crap, we got another Bill Clinton”! In all fairness (and I REALLY REALLY hate being fair to Barrak Obama) but the video supposedly shows that this picture is not accurately representing what happened. I was reading on Greta Van Susteren’s blog the video clearly shows something else cleary going on. I have not seen the video. She says she will have the video at 10pm. But come, get real, you know Obama was sneaking a peak at the booty! Post to Facebook Buzz This Post Digg This Post Post to Google Buzz Stumble This Post Post...
Portable Apps, The Only Way To Go On The Go
Have you heard about portable apps (applications)? About a year ago a co-worker told me about them. Applications that you can run on a USB stick “independent” of the computer. By independent I mean the applications are not installed on your computer at all, they are run right from the USB stick. Great, so what. Why would I want that? Well there are several reasons. Maybe you jump from computer to computer alot and having your applications on a thumb drive would be nice so that you don’t have to install many applications on many different computers. This reason...
Creating My Own Blog: Introduction
A couple of weeks ago I got this crazy idea to create my own blogging program. At first the whole point behind it was going to be to make it as simple as possible with now “frills”. I would bet that there would actually be people looking for something like that. I am going to be posting what I have done so that I can hopefully get input from others on ways to improve my work. Alot of what has been used is from examples I have found after scouring the internet for hours at time. In my following...
Adding A No Sidebar Page Template To WordPress
I have been helping my wife and her sister work on thier new blog Twilight Sisters. They decided after having the blog up and running for a couple of days they wanted to a get a jump on having some message boards. So I pointed them towards Simple Press which I think is a great system. Once they had that up and running my wife discovered very fast that she did not like the way the forums looked crammed into a page with sidebars. So she asked and how do it and now I am sharing even though I...
WordPress MU: Increase Site Admin Or Any Specific Users Upload Limit
Since I am new to WordPress MU that is what I am primarily going to be wwriting about in the near futur probably. My site Racing News Digest has a lot of pictures associated with the main page. I use NexGen Gallery to manage those photos. Each current driver and track has a photo stored and associated with NexGen Gallery. NexGen Gallery is not important here because it does not matter how you are uploading and maintaining files, it only matters how much space you, or mor importantly, all your users are using. My Site Admin account is WAY...
