This is not a sad story. Saying it up front kind of puts into question though, doesn’t it? Sows a little doubt maybe? This is a story about home. It could be about your home or a friends home, but only you could write that post, or your friend. This is about scratches in the [...]

Use
Anyone who knows me won’t have any trouble believing I like new gadgets. We have a semi-regular upgrade cycle on our Macs. I have feelings for my iPhone that probably aren’t healthy. The letters “TV” are synonymous with “DVR” in our house. Wi-Fi and bluetooth aren’t just wireless technologies, they are a way of life. [...]
A phone’s life In my hands
Brick – verb To strip a smartphone of all its useful features. To make it as useful as – I performed my first open case surgery on the iPhone to replace its failing battery last weekend. Pop quiz: Do you spend $15 to do it yourself or give $80+ to Apple, plus suffer through a [...]
An interesting day
Hearings kept me crazy busy yesterday and the medication let me forget about the headache. It was actually a fun morning. I thrive on days where I can lose myself in work, where time loses meaning. I love working with the Judge assigned to us, an old retired Colonel from the Marines. I enjoy talking [...]
The ah ha moment
This is one of those posts that sounded profound and original one night at 3am… and a little less so as time passed – that, and less coherent. – – – People told me what to expect before, but I always humored them. I’m not stupid. I’d see this thing coming way before it happened [...]
All hail the beekeeper!
It turns out the bees won’t be treated so humanely after all. Back to that in a moment. First, I want to waste your time with a little narrative of this morning’s events. The wildlife expert/beekeeper came out, took a look at the bees, said, “yep, there’s a lot of bees for ya,” and went [...]
As I wait for the beekeeper
I came home early from work today – it was a gotta go situation. I was giving a training for a small group of volunteers doing a workshop this weekend and I was starting to lose my voice. My boss was in the group, and when I appeared in his office afterwards he simply said, [...]
Bringin’ the bacon to work
I like crispy pig meat as much as the next guy, but after a while it gets old. After a year or two it gets really old. Truth be told, I was never really crazy for the stuff. It turns out my office is next door to a deli that dabbles in breakfast. I don’t [...]
Moving!
The site that is. The Kauffman household is staying put for the moment. But that does mean… No posts for you! For a few days anyway. You can comment all you like on the existing posts, but I can’t promise they’ll live on at the new digs. I feel your pain. – – – Maybe, [...]
Paging Mr Beck
The Communist take-over plot thickens! This year, Public Service Recognition Week will be held the week of May first. That’s right comrades, May Day! Well, not exactly – it’s May 3 – 9, 2010, but when has a little thing like facts stopped The Crazy (TM) in this country? If you’d like your “Ask me [...]
