Well I found a free comments code from Haloscan. I'm going to try it out. If any of you know of a better one, definitely let me know.

Comments and template changes

I'm trying to figure out how to let people add comments to my blog. So far I have no clue how and when I go to find out, I get side tracked. I also want to figure out how to make changes on my template. I have already been able to do so, but with the help of my wife. I need to figure this thing out on my own.

A funny Link for Feb 2

I haven't really been adding much to my blog and that is because of computer issues. I hope to keep it actively updated. I ran across this very comical site Not My Desk and just have to share it. The Bio's had me laughing so hard. Another site that was rather comical was Concerned: A humor comic based on the world of of Hal-Life 2. Check it out when you have a moment.

DDT and Environmentalists

John Stossel turns out another good one. He is quickly becoming a fav read for me.

Upgraded blog program

Thought you all should know, I just upgraded to version 1.0.5 from 1.0.2.

Katrina Idiocy

Today I've been catching up on my reading and found a very good tidbit about Katrina victims (here). It seems that though they are victims of travesty, many of them want to gain more than they had before the fact. I'm all for helping people from the hurricanes, but this seems ridiculous with what's going on. My biggest gripe is that many, not all, but many are complaining that a lot is not being done for them. What about them doing something for themselves? What about them getting a job? You don't hear about this. I have heard and read so many stories of people who want to work and rebuild getting very little assistance, yet they don't complain. However, those who are sitting on a free ride in hotels on taxpayer subsidy are the loudest complainers.

I probably will rant and rave more on this down the road, but for now, enjoy the Neal Boortz read.

A "Festivus" for the rest of us

Merry Christmas to all of you who read my blog.

Well I've heard it all. But before I share the all I've heard, my pc was at the PC Dr. Well, it seems the motherboard was shorting out because it was touching the case. Also, the video card fan died, along with the heat sync, and the main cooling fan. Considering it's a home made P1.1 gig which is about 3.5 yrs old, it fared well to last this long with so much abuse. So, with two new fans, a heat sync, and a cooling fan, we are back up and running...Yeah! Oh, and let's not forget I also bought my very first DVD-R for it. We shall see how I fare now that I'm catching up with the rest of the world.

OK, now, regarding Festivus (see also Wikipedia). The Jerry Seinfeld show will go down in history leaving us with things like "yada, yada, yada;" "No soup for you;" Elaine's wacky dance, and Festivus. Well, wouldn't you know, I read a Festivus article on Foxnews.com. I can't believe for the life of me that people are actually celebrating Festivus in Pennsylvania. That is kinda hilarious. I was a big Seinfeld fan, and that was one of the funnier episodes. Reading about Erie, PA celebrating Festivus made me chuckle and brought back some memories. Oh well, such is life.
