More handy jobs

So obviously I am fixing up the house because it is going up for sale. One of the things we noticed we had to change out was the door knob on the storm door. Of course it was for a storm door and not a regular door so there will be complications. The first thing was FINDING a new door knob for ... more ...

Apple's Aperture

Ok this is more of a "I love this software" and "I don't know what I would do without it" posting. About 6 months ago I landed a new client who owns a shoe store. I am taking pictures of every shoe that comes in and needs to go on the website. The problem is, that we don't have enough lighting ... more ...

I'm handy

So I installed a new light in the kitchen today. Nothing to dramatic, just something to give the kitchen a better look to it. Slight problem with the size of a screw vs the bracket in the ceiling, but overall it looks good. And it was on sale. Next up is crown molding in the kitchen. I have a... more ...

Moving Sucks

Today I just ordered nearly $200 worth of boxes and other various packaging supplies. Will I use all of this? I hope so otherwise I look like the fool. But I think I will use all of the boxes. The first step is to pack up all of the stuff I don't need or use. For instance, all my sweaters can... more ...

Gmail's Spam Filter

Ok I understand that gmail does a pretty good job of blocking out most of the spam I receive. I know this because in any given day I get between 200 and 600 spam messages. The problem however lies when gmail's filter fails and something starts to get through. Take for instance this week's spam ... more ...

TWRR March 26 of 2008

I am getting back into running. It has been a while since I was running, and I am not going to make an excuse for why I didn't. I have a treadmill and the weather has been above 40 outside so really there is no excuse. What I needed was a kick in the ass to get me started again. My mother in l... more ...

TWRR September 9 of 2007

Ok this is a new feature I am going to be doing here on thebwit.com. September 2nd I decided that I was going to really start running. No reason other than pure better fitness and to lose weight. I decided that running somewhere between 30 and 40 miles a week would be a good amount of running. S... more ...

TWRR September 17 of 2007

So week two is here of my running and it was another good week of running. From the 9th through the 15th I ran a total of 34.42 miles which was about 4.5 miles under last weeks total. Things of note for this weeks running. I ran only 1 time on the 10th, and 1 time on the 12th. On the 13th I hu... more ...

What a weekend so far...

Let's do a quick little breakdown of the weekend. Friday was a good day, I got a lot of programming done and things were starting to look good from a time line perspective and a money perspective. Friday night I decide to play a little poker as I was feeling good about my day. For some strange ... more ...

Changes are coming

Lots of news to post about, but not quite done with all of it yet. Been very busy these last couple of months with work and there are some exciting things on the horizon.... more ...

New Treadmill

Got the treadmill installed today. Now I just have to find my Nike+ armband/receiver to really track my running. I ran 1 mile on it tonight and I wish I had paid a little more attention to the manual. See my treadmill has a nice feature where you can plug in your iPod and I did. Next to the pl... more ...

One Resulotion already done

Ok so yesterday was day 2, day 2 for crying out loud and I already screwed up and didn't run at least 1 mile yesterday. See it is kind of hard to get out and go to the gym with a 3 month old when you have her all to yourself for the day. On top of that, we got like 2 inches of snow and I just didn... more ...

New RSS Feed

So after a little bit of tweaking of my rss feed, I am happy to announce that it is now possible to get the feed via feedburner. The reason I use this service is because it lets me track just how many people really do use the rss feed. So for all of you who are on on the old feed, I suggest you ge... more ...

The Strawberry Jelly Incident

I came home from holiday only to find that my refrigerator had decided it was going to stop keeping things cold. Additionally my freezer decided to do this too. Thankfully for me, the downtime was somewhere between 12 and 24 hours so I didn't loose too much in the freezer. However most of the... more ...

2008 Goals

So the year has ended and it is time to start anew. This year had some ups and some downs but was overall a good year. No highlights to speak of other than becoming a father. Now its time for the 2008 goals in no particular order. 1. Post to this site at least once per day. 2. Post to The... more ...

My Local Paper

Today I paid a lot of bills and one of them was for my newspaper. The funny thing about it was that the mailing address goes to the next big city. Yes you heard that right. So the DAYTON Daily News has it's payment address in CINCINNATI. Way to support the local city by having your offices in ... more ...
