Home Security

Bob — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 17:50:31 +0000

I found a site that combines two of my favorite things: being safe and really cool technology! HomeSecurityStore.com has some of the coolest home security stuff I’ve seen anywhere and for a good price. Many people don’t realize how inexpensive and relatively easy it is to outfit their homes with pretty nifty home security [...]

Sarah Palin Rocks!

Bob — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 07:07:09 +0000

I just watched a rerun of Palin’s address at the RNC tonight. I’ve caught bits and pieces of info about her and her speaking earlier in the week and I my first impression was that I liked her. Now I’m convinced… she rocks! She seems like a down to earth real-person which [...]

A (slightly) Different Direction

Bob — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 06:41:14 +0000

After a summer sabbatical, or maybe just being blog-lazy all summer, I’m back at the keyboard. In addition to my ventures as a work at home dad I am now also (once again) a full time student. I’m pursuing a degree in EMS (Emergency Medical Services) and if all goes well I’ll be [...]

I was invited to join SocialSpark when it was in beta. It’s a sponsored post site with a community spirit run by IZEA. It sounded like all the good things from PayPerPost with some great improvements in disclosure and using nofollow tags so pagerank didn’t get obliterated. I was really excited to see the opportunities and [...]

When Begging Fails

Bob — Sun, 25 May 2008 09:01:54 +0000

About a month ago I added one of those scratch back tip jar thingies to the blog and since then I’ve had exactly zero takers. I know what the problem was in the beginning… I set the minimum tip to $5 because that’s what it said the minimum was on the setup screen. After realizing [...]

Back to School

Bob — Sat, 24 May 2008 08:13:01 +0000

Well, it’s official. This August I’ll be returning to school (again.) As some of you know I’m a volunteer firefighter and EMT here in my hometown. I’m going to college to earn a degree in Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and more importantly, become a Paramedic. For anyone not in the know, an EMT provides basic life [...]

Down, But Not Out

Bob — Fri, 23 May 2008 08:13:00 +0000

For the last few days this blog and ALL of my other sites have been working intermittently at best. Each attempt to view seemed to get a different error message. The friendly folks at 1&1, my host, told me they were aware of the problem and working to fix it. Silly me, I thought that [...]
