General Updates

I’ve been very busy over the Thanksgiving holiday break working on my bathroom. I’m quickly approaching the finish line. Since I realized I couldn’t hang wallpaper for the first time in my life by myself, I decided to wait until I had some help. Fortunately my brother volunteered next weekend.

On other fronts, my friend Brad has updated his website over the break. He liked XOOPS so much, which is what powers my website, that he decided to use it on his website. He hasn’t customized it yet so be sure to stop back for updates. The first thing I’m looking forward to are his tech tips! He is an excellent computer tech and is up on all the tricks.

Monday, November 28th, is “Cyber Monday”!! Cyber Monday is the un-official web retailers answer to “Black Friday”, the day after Thanksgiving and the day brick and mortar stores return profits, or “in the black”. Be sure to visit your favorite online retailers to see what specials they might have. I recommend buy.com, amazon.com, newegg.com, and outpost.com.

Finally, I would like to thank everyone who is Folding At Home! This is a research project at stanford university in which doctors study protein folding in order to understand dieseses such as cancer. If you haven’t done so, please install the software today! I would be honored if you would join my team, number 46505. On that note, I am looking for any older computers that you no longer use. Instead of throwing it away, give it to me and I’ll add it to my folding at home server farm at my house. I’m looking for anything 1.0 Ghz or faster to replace some of my 350-500Mhz computers. Please give me an email if you have a system you’d like to donate to the cause.
