We took Kate to Disneyland on Monday. She’s been lots of times already, but this is the first time she met Mickey. Mickey isn’t allowed to talk, but he is allowed to make kissing sounds, evidently…and that is what was going on here, not forced nose-eating! We were sitting on a bench with Kate when…

Uniden has for years promised firmware updates for their scanners to keep up with the changes, but so far hasn’t released anything.

If any of these cherished memories belong to you, you were probably a performer in the Olympics’ opening ceremonies. They sure did make it look good…

After five seasons and 100 episodes, Stargate Atlantis has been cancelled. It follows in the footsteps of SG-1 as it lives on in an indefinite number of straight-to-DVD movies. The good news is that Stargate Universe, a new spin-off series, is now in pre-production. One door closes, another one opens! Atlantis was getting a little…

I have a Roomba. A 550. I got it about 6 weeks ago at Costco. It’s great when it works. It’s not so great when it breaks. It broke on its six week birthday. The two roller brushes just stopped spinning. I’m no mechanical engineer, but I know trouble when I see it, and I’m…
