More Laptop Issues

Let me start off by saying, I love my Macbook. It’s been my favorite computer I’ve ever owned, and I’ve been able to be more productive with it than I have any other system I’ve owned. Perhaps I just work the thing to death. Yesterday morning, I couldn’t get it to turn on. Power light [...]

Getting ready to Vote in Columbus, Ohio – Part II

Anne & I tried to go vote today. Headed over to Vets Memorial around 11am and followed the line all the way around to the back of the building. Must have been 300 people deep. Turned around and left. I think we’ll probably just have better luck voting the day of. The Dispatch Long lines, [...]

Why I’m Voting for Barack Obama – Part III

This article in the Washington Post titled The High Rise of the First Metropolitan Candidate is another of the few that really jump out to me, and speak to me as a proponent of urban development in a major US metropolitan area. Anyone who lives in Central Ohio, should give this a read. Here are [...]

Why I’m Voting for Barack Obama – Part II

As I mentioned previously, I don’t post a lot on my personal blog about national politics. Even though there’s been a lot in the news the past week that has had me fired up, I’ve refrained from turning my personal blog into just one more place for a dude to rant about the candidates. Instead, [...]

It’s funny because after a short hiatus that involved getting married, moving into a [...]

Discovery Exchange at CSCC

The new bookstore building opened at Columbus State after I had graduated, and after a year and a half of it slipping my mind, I finally make it in there today for a casual meeting with some of the fine folks at the SBDC. Pretty nice. It was a little annoying that I had to [...]

The Great Columbus Power Outage of 2008

As I’m sure you’re already well aware, the remnants of Hurricane Ike took it’s toll on Columbus this past Sunday evening. Winds gusting up to 78mph wrecked a lot of trees, downed power lines, killed several people, and left over a million people across the state without power. Half of Columbus was powerless on Monday [...]

Hard to believe it’s been a year already…

Seems like only yesterday….

Computer Surgery

This past weekend I had to replace the hard drive in my laptop. Very scary looking process to have your computer ripped all apart, but the surgery went smoothly. I was a bit disappointed since this is the second hard drive to fail in a year and a half of owning my laptop. The first [...]
