Rotors and Pads

Published on Tuesday, March 21st, 2006 at 10:11am.

I took my TrailBlazer in to get checked out this morning because it started making some grinding/rubbing noises in the back when I was going at slower speeds. Turns out I need new rotors and pads on the back and front. I just love putting money into a vehicle…don’t you? (...)

Hamachi

Published on Monday, March 20th, 2006 at 1:01pm.

I had first ready about Hamachi a few months ago on Bryan’s site and finally got around to trying it out this weekend. It’s one slick piece of software. Much easier than setting up a VPN and all that junk. With Hamachi you can organize two or more computers with an Internet connection into their own virtual network for direct secure communication. Hamachi is fast, secure and simple. (...)

Performancing Metrics

Published on Friday, March 17th, 2006 at 9:23am.

Performancing came out with a free public beta of a blog tracking service earlier this week, called Performancing Metrics. I haven’t used it a very much yet, but it looks very promising. Most statistics services and packages are bloated with useless data. PM gives bloggers access to the data they’ll need most often and it works great. (...)

The Detroit Lions signed quarterbacks Jon Kitna and Josh McCown this week, which should mean they’ll be shipping Joey Harrington elsewhere. Finally some new coaches who can see where some of the problems start with this team. (...)

Marching On

Published on Wednesday, March 15th, 2006 at 2:04pm.

I love the month of March for two reasons. March Madness and the coming of warmer Michigan weather. The month of March is heaven for college basketball fans and NCAA bball just happens to be my favorite sport to watch. The teamwork, intensity, atmosphere, and everything about the game draws me in.

Doing Great

Published on Wednesday, March 15th, 2006 at 12:18pm.

Things are going great in Nick-land lately. The wisdom teeth extraction couldn’t have turned out any better. I haven’t really had any pain and my recovery was quick and easy. I’m still pretty limited in what I can eat, so that sucks. Oatmeal, smoothies, ice cream, and soup have been on the menu for almost a week now. (...)

Cheap Magazine Subscriptions

Published on Wednesday, March 8th, 2006 at 12:59pm.

Don’t overlook eBay for cheap magazine subscriptions. I just bought a year of Men’s Health for $3.99 and received 3 years of Golf Digest as a bonus. (...)

Take My Wisdom, Set Me Free

Published on Wednesday, March 8th, 2006 at 8:55am.

Tomorrow morning at 8 am I’m going in to get 3 of my wisdom teeth extracted/pulled/yanked/drilled/uprooted. It’s not something I’m exactly looking forward to given the history of my teeth and gums, but I’ve needed it done for a few years now. They’re in the way, but also out of the way because I can’t get get much of a toothbrush on them. (...)
