I’m not a cook, not by any stretch of the imagination. Mostly this is because I’m impatient and when I’m hungry, I want to eat, not cook. I’m all about quick, easy and convenient. You could call it lazy, too… It’s also hard for me to want to cook a [...]

Any one have experience with home automation, such as the X10 protocol? I’ve been thinking about getting my feet wet with some home automation projects this summer. Nothing major, just exploring the possibilities and doing a minor project or two. It’s a dream of mine to one day have a state-of-the-art, [...]

How exciting is this! A friend of mine from waaay back in the day wrote a book and got published!
Emy Hancock and I grew up, for a few years at least, in the same church. Her dad was the pastor of my childhood church, Latonia Baptist, but her family moved to central [...]
