Love the new TV series: "2 Broke Girls"! We've been wondering what the song behind the intro was for a few weeks now. I tried googling it the other day, without success. Tonight, we were watching How I met Your Mother from a couple of weeks ago on DirecTV DVR. And the end of the recording was the beginning of a 2 broke girls we had already seen - but it was still fun to watch again. The

Wednesday was sunny and in the 50s. But there was talk of a blizzard.It seems it was a rare case of a large amount of moisture coming up from the south at the same time as a cold from coming down from the North. Around 12" were expected in my area. But it was also supposed to be very windy - making that unusual amount of snow even more troublesome. Work sent out a note during the day that we

So about 3 or 4 weeks ago, I got a call on my cell phone. It was about a timeshare place up near Vail. It turns out some geocache friends had given them my name and number. As first I was going to be upset at the friends for giving out my cell phone number and just tell the timeshare people not to bother me.But I decided to listen to the pitch. They were willing to let me bring the boys. So

I went to the balloon festival again this year.I got up early Saturday - it was too wet to even set up the balloons - much less launch them.I got up early Sunday - it wasn't as wet - but the cloud cover was too low to launch. I did get a bunch of pictures of the balloons set up on the ground. Then I had to run off to meet up with another geocacher to do an group hunt. It was nice, as he had a

And it was hot - Sunday broke a record.Well I decided to not work the whole weekend. I did work most of the weekend. But I took the boys out to eat most of the meals - as a birthday/moving treat. We

I have not done much blogging lately - and I've really let this one go for a long time.Part of that is that I've been spending a lot of free time and energy on geocaching. And to that end, I've done some blogging on a sub-blog about geocaching.But the other issue that was most worth talking about, I did not feel it was appropriate to air on this forum. That issue was that my marriage was going

I ran my second geocaching event yesterday. The last one was just a general get-together. This one was a special clean-up event.The main geocache site, geocaching.com, promotes both regular clean-up whenever caching and a special day once a year for a major international clean-up on Earth day. They call the clean-up a CITO, for Cache-In, Trash-Out.During my first event, a number of people in

I've been living without sound on my Toshiba laptop since last summer.When I opened it up, I found the sound card was this tiny board, maybe 2 inches by a half inch. And it has this plug-in to the motherboard. The connector on the motherboard had come loose. Considering that plugging in earphones would cause mechanical stress on this top board, it almost seems inevitable that this connector

For a change we got our taxes done early. Early being 2 weeks before the deadline. The last 2 years, things were crazy enough that we wound up filing extensions.But this year we did our taxes on the most appropriate day of the year: April Fools Day - April 1st. Somehow it seems appropriate to me. I'm just not sure who is being made a bigger fool. Trying to read tax code, I think it is me!I'm

I was musing about 'The Who' Music used on CSI and on the reference to the guy on the show who was collection famous dead people's picture, saying that he was going to put it next to his Entwistle. I laughed at the connection between the musician from the group that does their theme music.And it reminded me of the morbid joke about getting the Beatles back together, when there were still 3 of

I started a new blog for my geocaching adventures. My first real entry on this blog was describing geocacing in some detail for those who want to understand it a bit better.Today I wrote up about a geocaching adventure that started with trying to figure out a puzzle a few weeks ago - comparing notes with other geocachers last week - then trying to find it Sunday - and going back again Thursday

Had to take my big guy to a Jewish-youth group activity this afternoon. Went down to the skating place. They said - we don't know about that activity. Could it be at our other location [5 minutes back they way we came]? They called - it was. I didn't even know they had a second location. It is laid out almost identically.They play the music very loud at both places. Too loud for my little

So this past week's episode of Numb3rs seemed to be designed specifically to refute my previous log entry where I said GPS is not part of cell phones.It seems I was wrong. I am sorry Numb3rs for my misunderstanding.According to the show, it seems that when the decided that for emergency purposes, that cell phones should be trackable, the didn't use triangulation from cell towers.

I opened my Dish (satellite TV) bill last night. In the last year it has jumped $10.00.First it went from $21.99 for the low-end channel package to $23.99. Suddenly the package has a new name, and costs $31.99.This is the same crap the cable companies pulled, and why we wound up going with Dish. One of Dish's major selling strategies was to point out how the cable companies were treating

I've been watching the last few episodes of the TV show Numb3rs. It is pretty good. It is nice to see a positive view of techy stuff on TV. We need to promote the sciences. And they do a very good job of not getting way too techy. If anything, they are pretty good at explaining some advanced math concepts so that an average person can get a feel for the concepts.

I like it better than Southern Colorado Geocaching.Right now, I'm just trying to get a group get-together going for next month. So far, the response has been very positive from other local geocachers I've emailed with in the last few

So Christmas day Sunday, but we don't do Christmas. And a day off Monday. No real plans until Sunday evening for Channukah. My toe finally feels well enough for a hike. Blodgett Peak has been calling to me for months - especially since I learned there was a geocache on top. So I get up a bit early - early for a day off from work - and head out for a hike. I don't know how far I'll get - but

This weekend we went to the Light Zoo in town. It was snowing, as it had for over a day, lightly, and one of the sets of friends who was supposed to go with us wimped out.It was cold - but we were smart enough to bring along hot chocolate, so that helped.It was fun to go to again. It seemed like there were a few more lights, but a few less electric animals.

Well, I've spent quite a few weeks with this idea about doing a puzzle cache. Where seekers have to solve a puzzle to find the final cache. But it was more than just a puzzle - it also teaches how some computers can store data in a safer, faster way, called RAID-5.So I made a RAID-5 cache. I spent a bunch of time trying to figure out the best way to do it - and making charts and tables to go

It did not have a very big distribution, but it had a high rate of publication. I had one going out 5 days a week, and another once a week. So that meant at least 6 humor-oriented pieces a week.I

Due to a sanction the US government has against our space partner Russia, over concerns that Russia was providing space and missle technology to enemies, NASA is forbidden to buy lauches from Russia. Russia's contract to fly missions to the Space Station is completed with the next launch. Because of the grounding of the Space Shuttle, and the delay of repairs due to the hurricanes, that will

Thursday evening, my eldest son decided he wanted to make a Geocache of our own. We had been working up to it for a little while now. We had small notebooks for logbooks. I had saved a couple of 3 pound plastic picnic salad containers. We had some pirate themed accessories to go with our geocache nickname of 'WitzAbout Pirates'. My eldest son was really enthused about making the geocache

Reading a new article on CNN, about the new Xbox 360, I learned something interesting about IBM. It seems they are not limiting themselves to Business machines these days.While Apple is jumping ship to Intel from the Power-PC chip, not one, but 2 new games systems are jumping over to IBM.Microsoft and IBM co-designed the chip for Xbox 360, based on the Power PC chip.But IBM also co-designed the

I went geocaching over the weekend. I was spurred by the fact that I had a travelbug* from the previous weekend to put back in circulation. So I headed out to an area in town I hadn't geocached in before - leading to the Pulpit Rock area. I'd hiked it once from the West 5 years ago, during the first few weeks I had moved to Colorado. I could not get anyone else interested in going, so I was

I went Saturday and Sunday morning to the Hot Air Balloon Festival . And to the Balloon glow Saturday night. I took a huge amount of pictures Saturday and Sunday. It was wild to see the balloons dip into the newly refilled lake. I'll have to post some pictures soon.Yesterday we did some Geocaching. We managed to find all 5 out in Falcon.

A man fired last year from a Highlands Ranch Colorado (Southern Denver Suburb) company won a contest for the oddest firing. He was fired a month after he ate 2 slices of pizza left over from a company event, unaware that other employees planned to take home the left over pizza.Crazy stuff.

Playing with the kids on Friday evening. Running around the house. Managed to bash my right pinky toe. Boy did that hurt. Still a little swollen today - and achy. I've got my foot up, watching Johnny Mnemonic. Made it harder to Geocache over the weekend. But we did anyhow. Went around shopping at the outlets in Castle Rock. Huge number of grasshoppers in Castle Rock area. Geocaches

Continuing my thoughts on the Space Shuttle...I understand there is a lot of concern and pressure to getting the shuttle flying again, and often. Because it needs to be involved in a large number of missions to assemble the international Space Station.The reasoning is that the shuttle is the only launch platform that can take the pieces up to the station, and they want to get the station

We hiked up from Blodget Open space this past weekend. This time we looked up a Geocache in the area before we went. We found it with only a few minutes of searching. The GPS started us about 15 feet to the South. It was a very nice cache. It would seem that this person works for or is somehow closely associated with a local outdoor-activity-store [ERV]. In it, we unexpectedly found a

This month we continued building the group's common-themed robot. A square base, the DARC-Board, 2 modified hobby-servo motors with wheels, and an unmodified hobby-servo motor for ball capture. I had finished building the 3 sensors at home with some help from my 12yo! We wound up adding a fourth sensor while I was at the meeting. I also started on the LED to Cds cell capture sensor.

I was reading about this last week - where they will not fly the shuttle again until they can stop the foam falling off the external fuel tank.I was thinking maybe they could put some sort of metal shielding over the most sensitive areas. Which may not be such a bad idea anyhow.But then I was thinking about the external fuel tank and why they put on the foam. They put on the foam to help

Yesterday was a long day. In many ways. Okay, it didn't start that early. I was woken by a phone call about 9:00am. I think that was the best sleep I've had in over a week - and I could have used even a little more then.But it still took me a long time to get moving and decide what I wanted to do. I was thinking if I'm going to make it to the top of Pikes Peak, I need a lot more training.

I have always seen Star Wars opening day. Always.This year I was getting worried that I might not be able to see it opening day. The big theater in town listed as sold out of all the midnight showings a couple of weeks ago - about the same time I heard the tickets were on sale early.I think my wife works the evening of opening day, so I was looking at possibly standing in line for hours after

I noticed yesterday morning when I went out for the newspaper and fed the fish in the outdoor pond, that I only saw one of the fish.The smaller, more timid of the two Koi. The bigger, orange one was not around.I wasn't positive that the orange one wasn't just hiding. But it almost always came out faster than the white one.But I didn't see it. I only saw the white fish deeply hidden in the

My son's 12th birthday was a week ago. For his birthday, he wanted to do laser tag. So we signed him up for Sunday. This past Sunday. Oops - that is mother's day. Too late to change. It worked out okay - it meant that the laser tag place was a lot less crowded.It was fun! We had about 12 kids - with about 3 being non-tag-players. I played laser tag 3 times. The first 2 times I was to

At work today, I dodged a bullet. Once that I didn't exactally see coming, but was prepared for anyhow.My boss stopped by my cube, and asked what I was doing. I was working on this project that keeping morphy and growing subtly. He seemed a tiny bit nervous. He asked me to walk with him. We talked about the project until we got down the hall.He then informed me that they were not renewing

It had been foggy and cloudy a number of days throughout the weekend. My wife was driving the kids through town, and passed the power plant.Our youngest pipes up as says: "Look! A cloud factory!", watching the steam billowing up to join the clouds.Classic! :) Perfect imagery....Took me a bit of time, but I found a picture I took with the power plant spewing steam - in the distance - but it

We had first night of Passover last night. I spent most of Friday evening and *all* of Saturday assisting cooking and cleaning and setting up for our major Passover celebration - our Seder. My wife worked most of this time - and a lot for days before too. Passover is a major spring cleaning and more. We had a lot of guests - over 30. Not the most we've had, but pretty close. My son invited a

Objects in Mirror are Closer Than They AppearI always find things in the right-hand mirror look larger to me than they look in the other mirrors.It might have something to do with the first 'car' I had was a van. It had a small, wide-angle mirror - that made things look really small. But no blind spots! :)

This past weekend I was in California, for a cousin's wedding. I took off Friday and Monday from work. My eldest son came along for the adventure.Seeing as I live in Colorado now, a land-locked state, it was imperative that I stick my toes in the ocean. :)Of course, whenever I get near the sand, I almost always have to make a sand castle. This time was no exception - I made a dibble sand

The weekend before last, I had a chance to attend a Robot competition held by the regional IEEE group.The competition was organized by the head of the Denver Robot Club.Interestingly enough, he mentioned this competition a number of months ago at a really small meeting of the Denver Robot Club. He asked if anyone had any idea. I held back a little bit, giving others a chance to speak their

I decided to be a tiny bit creative for dinner tonight. I started with the base elbow noodles. I was debating cheese or tomato sauce or even a noodle salad for dinner. I wished I had some ground turkey to work with, but I didn't.So I started thinking about the frozen chicken breasts I will resort to. But I didn't want to do the same old chicken pieces.Then I decided to slice up the chicken in

Spring skiing in Colorado. Do I need to say more?Of course I do - it's a blog! :)It was over 40 at the base. While they had a bunch of snow just a few days ago, the temperature and strong sunlight made the snow a little slushy. And for some this might have made the skiing worse. But for a guy who grew up skiing back East, it was nearly perfect. I brought along a GPS unit. Okay, so I'm

A picture from Sunday of Pikes Peak.This morning on my way to work at 6am, the sunrise had lit up the foothills. I debated stopping on the way - but pushed on to work to take a few pictures from the parking lot. The view of the quarry seemed to have come out the best. I almost wished I stopped on the way - when the colors were more orange.Snow and Quarry on Rampart Range at Sunrise this

My son dug up a game I'd played before: Roller Coaster Tycoon 2. My son asked to play. So I installed it on the kid's computer. Then he and I play a couple of scenarios the two previous nights. I forgot how fun it was. :)We also got the PC game Robots - based on the movie - for our youngest. I tried to install it on the kid's PC, but it wouldn't run the game. Besides the CPU being a little

But it was pretty much filled up. So we decided to go back later.We drove by a museum of the Old West.

So I got around to going to the eye doctor last week.Big surprise, my eyes have gotten a little worse.And I'm entering the range of reading glasses or bi-focals.Well I knew that for a while. Most of the time it isn't really a problem. I've already noticed it in the past - when doing fine electrons - like robots. I bought myself a pair of reading glasses for that work. That is the only time
