Davis, trekked through the Limpia Creek Primitive Area, and last night we arrived at my family’s ranch where she saw her first rattlesnake. Yikes! We’ve been taking […]

When I first received my iPod as a gift, I did not think I would get much use from it. After all, there is a pile of dust gathering upon the myriad of portable tape and CD players ( I even have a Diamond Rio 600 still in its box) that I already own. Then,

In a few days, I’ll be winging my way to Texas to spend a week with Judie and her family. I won’t be lugging my Powerbook with me on this trip. I figure I can check my email from Judie’s PC if I want to. I will probably just bring along a PDA and digital

I just made the switch form Verizon DSL to Cox Cable…and now I am wondering why I waited so long! Using Verizon was truly becoming an ordeal, but it was still better than dial-up – but just barely! For instance, it got to where I would have to reset the DSL modem up to six
