Kinect for the Xbox One is a game-changer…
Initially, I didn’t get the Xbox One with Kinect bundle because I just didn’t think it was worth the extra $150. I had the Kinect for the Xbox 360, but aside from the novelty of voice control, it basically collected dust. Well, I found the Kinect add-on for the Xbox One on sale and figured it …
Ariana Grande Covers Whitney Houston Classic Accompanied by David Foster
I wish the audio was better quality, but I still got goosebumps when Ariana hit the high notes full voice. Also made me miss Whitney and be sad how her life ended so early. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHF4QkFD28U]
Great shelf for my hard drive clocks
I don’t know why I have so many of these, but this guy at the Wimberly Market Days makes them and I can’t resist buying them from him. I was going to buy a normal shelf to put them on, but found this unique shelf made of squares at Target. It had just enough places for …
My new Roland TD-4KP V-Drums!
I was seriously thinking about getting the new TD-1KV, but the TD-4KP has a much better sound module. It also folds up into a 12″ x 20″ package, so it’s very portable. I miss my TD-12S, but it’s back in Cali and I didn’t want to ship it here–not that I really have the space. It’s …

Baby Boomers driving demand for stocks
Readers of my blog know I generally feel that supply and demand is driving the stock market and not economic fundamentals. There are only a finite number of stocks available, so if more money gets invested, the market generally goes up. Money comes out, stocks go down. The one thing I didn’t consider is the impact …
Goodbye U-verse internet…Hello Time Warner Cable, my old friend…
Well, my short experiment with U-verse internet service had me running back to good ol’ Time Warner Cable. It’s probably good enuf for most people and at times the speeds were phenomenal; however, the bandwidth was just too unreliable. There were times it slowed to a modem’s pace. What most U_verse users don’t understand is …
