Why I like running my own site

Dan — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 01:58:23 +0000

Turns out I learned something today…something I had not expected to learn. Running your own website may not give you “god-like” status over the Interwebs but it does give you that status for your own site. It’s a rather…powerful feeling to be able to control what you want displayed on your site. This is the Continue reading →

Avoid Dickey’s Barbecue in Delaware Ohio

Dan — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 23:43:10 +0000

Today was I think the 5th time I have been here since this re-opened under new management. I have tried to give it a try since the food is pretty good but after my experience today I will not be returning. After placing our order we were informed that it would be 15-20 minutes for Continue reading →

Bank of America….What the FUCK!

Dan — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 00:58:46 +0000

So really, are you people really this insane to believe that adding a $5 per month “debit card fee” is really an intelligent move? WTF are you all smoking over there? Then to make matters even worse you aren’t allowing people to close their accounts? I do not, and will not, ever have an account through Bank Continue reading →

Awesome Geocache Container!

Dan — Sat, 18 Jun 2011 21:22:56 +0000

So I came across this web site today while looking for a new nano cache for one of my cache sites that has recently had the container come up missing and found some really awesome containers. Along with the “typical” rusty bolt and fake rock they have some other really sweet containers that I think Continue reading →

For those of you hiding under a rock or otherwise out of the loop the past 2 weeks a quick Google News search for Wikileaks should help fill you in. The well-known whistle-blower site has hit global headlines the past few weeks as it releases some 250,000 classified US documents. The site has come under Continue reading →

Otter 1991 – 2009

Dan — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:21:14 +0000

The day I thought would never come….has. My cat that I’ve known nearly all my life is now gone. I thought I would be alright….I was wrong. I feel like a part of me is gone and never coming back. He’s had a good life though, some 18 years which is extraordinary for a cat, Continue reading →

Follow Up: Car trouble…

Dan — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 00:10:53 +0000

So after some swearing, a vacuum test, and the advice of the good people over at the Ford Forums it turns out to be a bad hose. One of the hoses in the picture (though you can’t tell it) had a nasty crack down the side on the end that connected to the sensor. After Continue reading →

Car trouble…

Dan — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 23:23:01 +0000

I hate cars, I really do. I know that mine is getting up there in age and miles really (10 years old with nearly 150k miles) but it still drives me crazy when things go wrong. This time, it’s the DPFE sensor. Don’t worry if you don’t know what that is, I didn’t either a Continue reading →

My Daughter…My Children

Dan — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 02:39:19 +0000

Whether or not I am ready for it, it won’t be long at all before I become a “family man” so to speak. I am marrying the most wonderful woman in the world who also has two children…a son who is 3 and daughter who is 6. While the debate still seems to go on Continue reading →
