As a follow-up to my post yesterday about my success with the 3M Headlight Restoration Kit, I got up early this morning, and did my wife’s Ford Windstar. The headlights were not in as bad of shape as those on my truck, but they definitely could benefit from a little restoration to their old glory …

I recently picked up a headlight restoration kit by 3M at Wal-Mart for around $15. Amazon and a few other places sell it as well. I chose this kit on the advice of a colleague who had good success with it on her Volkswagen Passat. I figured for $15, it would be worth a shot …

Something learned on Mad Men, Conrad Hilton was born in San Antonio, New Mexico. A town I have been to on more that one occasion. It has a restaurant famous for its green chile cheeseburgers, and for being eight miles south of the middle of nowhere. Speaking of middle of nowhere, he also attended my …

We have a Dell 3115cn color laser printer at work. The color toner cartridges are individual, and we buy them in these multipack deals (Dell Part #4BC3115). The problem is that inside the box are four cartridges wrapped in that silver foil packaging and are not marked as to which color is inside. You …

To the entire Green Bay Packers players, coaches, organization, and the city of Green Bay, thank you from the bottom of my heart for a most excellent season, and the best Packers post-season that I have been witness to in my life. I am and will always and forever be one of your greatest fans. …

Ever since I got my Kindle at Christmastime, I was thinking that there should be an application that lets you view your Kindle bookshelf, and share books with friends, share what you are reading, have read, and may recommend. I have been using the weRead on Facebook for quite awhile, but you have to manage …

To root, or not to root: that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The crap of HTC is not outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of useless apps, And by opposing end them? To root, to be free; No more; and by freedom to say we end …

I just recently started using iTunes Ping, and my first impression was ‘Facebook/Twitter for Music’; pretty neat. If you have friends on Ping, then you can follow them, and see what they are listening to and/or interested in. Finding your ‘actual’ friends is pretty easy, since you know there name and often times e-mail, but …
