Wow! What a vacuum!

I have a 10 year old Phantom that has worked great for all of these years, but its a little old and it can’t get in small places. The roomba works awesome in picking up dust, hair, etc, but I knew I was missing the deep dirt. So I ordered an ElextroLux EL 7055A”>ElectroLux EL… Continue reading Wow! What a vacuum!

Old Toothbrushes

I’ve used SoniCare and Oral B’s for awhile, both effective and pricey. I’ve also used 99 cent toothbrushes, changing once a month for cleanliness.

Benefits of snow

While it sucks eating soup and left overs, I can tell you that I love how quiet my neighborhood is. Not a peep outside, no road noise, nothing. Its amazing how noisy the city is with just background noise – And I live in the burbs! I’m staying in – Watching the video of all… Continue reading Benefits of snow

Snow!

I woke up to over 2 inches of snow. I guess I won’t be going to the chiropractor today, what a mess, but a beautiful mess! Pictures

P-Nuttles!

Blast from the past – Found P-Nuttles at the store today. I think I used to sell these as a kid for school trips, etc. Its been decades.

TextMate and regular expressions

I’ve been trying to learn regular expressions for years, but never had a good use for them, because the tools that used them were so obscure. Now with TextMate, I have plenty of uses. In the blogging bundle, the preferences format was: Blog Name http://www.blogurl.com/ The regular expression for parsing that was: ^(.+?)\s+(https?:\/\/\.+) I’ll break… Continue reading TextMate and regular expressions
