America’s Got Talent
Posted on August, 17 at 10:12 pm | Filed Under Blogs
I’ve been enjoying this season’s America’s Got Talent. It reminds me a bit if the Gong Show (now, I’m really dating myself but I was just a kid back then). I’ve noticed a few things though.First, it’s an American show, right? What’s up with 2 of the 3 judges not being from America? I really [...]
AT&T Tethering Fail
Posted on August, 17 at 10:12 pm | Filed Under Blogs
So, with the iPhone 4, you can finally do tethering, which is where you can jump back to 2005 and use your cell phone’s Internet connection with your laptop. Yeah, I had this feature with my old Motorola phone way back when.I called the other day to get it set up and was pretty well [...]
Check Card Rewards

Ok, first off, I’m not being paid by Chase Bank to write this. These are just my own experiences.Back in 2008, I moved my checking from Associated Bank to Chase Bank and that was a great decision. First, they gave me referral bonuses that totaled about $150 or so because I brought over a savings [...]

Waiting for iPhone
Posted on June, 23 at 4:54 pm | Filed Under Blogs
So it was supposed to arrive tomorrow, the 24th and I was all set to wait at home that morning for it but then I got all these emails saying it’ll arrive on the 23rd instead – by 10:30am. It’s now 11:15 and no sign of FedEx. What’s the deal?And on the tracking page, it [...]
RSX Headlights
Posted on June, 19 at 4:36 pm | Filed Under Blogs
I got the headlights for my 2002 Acura RSX replaced this last week. I ordered them online and then tried to put them in but it involved taking off the bumper. There were 2 screws I could not undo and I didn’t have any replacement clips for the ones I was taking off, so I [...]
1988 Toyota MR2
Posted on June, 19 at 4:36 pm | Filed Under Blogs
Well, a few weeks ago I went down to IL and picked up an MR2. It’s in great shape. It’s 1988 5-speed, Supercharged model. It likes to move! I’m having a slight problem with the clutch right now. I finally narrowed it down to that. I’ll get that fixed soon but I wanted to get [...]
My New Convertible
Posted on May, 27 at 2:30 pm | Filed Under Blogs
Ok, so I guess it doesn’t really convert so it’s not a convertible but there is no top, so it counts in my book!I got this the other day – no, not to save millions of dollars in gas, but because we have a colleague coming in to Madison for a while and he can [...]

Colorado Ski Trip
Posted on April, 1 at 7:18 am | Filed Under Blogs
This was my first trip to Colorado to ski. I’ve been to Utah twice. A bunch of ski instructors from Cascade and the NASTAR racers were heading out to CO to ski and it worked out that I could go. I got there on Wednesday and the whole area, including Denver, got like 13 the [...]
Desk for Sale
Posted on March, 8 at 12:24 pm | Filed Under Blogs
I have a wing-type desk for sales. It’s in really great shape. It’s in 3 pieces, so it’s easy to transport and assemble back together. I’m getting rid of it because I needed a smaller desk. There’s a tray that slides out for the keyboard. On the left side, there’s a cabinet that open along [...]
Yooper Ski Trip 2010
Posted on March, 4 at 12:00 am | Filed Under Blogs
Al and I took a trip up to the U.P. and it was great. We hit Granite Peak (Rib Mountain in Wausau) on the way up. It was a great way to break up the trip and we got there right at 10am. There was fresh snow waiting for us and not many other skiers. [...]
Harald Harb Ski Clinic
Posted on February, 19 at 2:00 pm | Filed Under Blogs
We had a skiing clinic last night at Cascade. He got in a little late due to traffic but I’m glad I stayed around for it. We had 2 hours with Harald Harb (http://www.harbskisystems.com/) and there were just 5 of us in the clinic, which was nice. He mainly went over the movements required to [...]
Skiing in India?
Posted on February, 8 at 7:06 am | Filed Under Blogs
Ok, I wasn’t skiing in India but got to teach of few people from Chennai how to ski. Up at Cascade, we seem to get a lot of people in from the Chicago area. I ask them where they’re from and they just say Chicago instead of what actual suburb they’re in since they think [...]
Guitar Center… Boo!
Posted on January, 30 at 6:12 am | Filed Under Blogs
I went to Guitar Center the other day to pick up some drum stuff. I needed a kick pedal, sticks and a throne. I enter the drum area and there’s a dude there at the counter. He’s staring at a computer and doesn’t say hello or acknowledge me at all. Ok, maybe he’s busy. I [...]
