A Picture a Day

February 27, 2011 By Robert Owen

Traffic on the insterstate

I'm gonna try something new to keep myself posting.  I'm going to post a "picture a day".  Let's see how long I can keep it up.  Want to take any bets on how long it will last?  I'm not actually off to a very good start.  I had intentions on starting this last Monday (2/21/2011), I even took some pictures during the week but, as you can see, I didn't get them posted.  So, I'll play catch up now and start fresh tomorrow.  :oops: … [Read more...]

Site of the week: Let Me Google That for You

February 20, 2011 By Robert Owen

Let me Google that for you

Picture it,  you're working hard on a project - totally focused on... whatever.  And somebody says... "Hey, [insert your name here],  how many days are there in February?"  ...  or, they say something like: "Yo, [insert name here],  what is the capital of Wisconsin?"  or even maybe something like:  "Hey, [your name here again], where can I find the world's largest ball of yarn?" Hey, these aren't bad questions, right?  No, they're perfectly fine.  And as such, being the nice guy/gal you are,  … [Read more...]

Help Me Finish a Story

February 20, 2011 By Robert Owen

Many years ago when I was in College,  in an overly stagnate Orchestral rehearsal (I think we were waiting on a violin "sectional" to end or something like that),  the story below started taking shape.   This "little ditty" was composed by myself, a fellow Hornist, and a Clarinetist.  Now,  I don't remember which of us wrote which section,  this paper had seen better days so, I will leave the credits off.  But, I did leave the section pauses where each new addition was added. Now, I know this … [Read more...]

Clear Lost Content Adviser Password

February 14, 2011 By Robert Owen

Got an interesting from a friend out of a while back. In her e-mail she asked: My dad, who is 67 and knows nothing about a computer – nothing – is trying to operate my late mother’s Dell, so that he can use the internet. The problem is, Mom had put so many content blocks on it with parental controls that he can’t even get to the google. It prompts him for a password. I have no idea what this password is, and I was able to talk him through to get to the Tools/Internet Options/Content tab … [Read more...]

Friday Funny: Funny Pictures

August 20, 2010 By Robert Owen

Happy Friday Everybody!!   Hope your week has been one that was completely adequate!  But, since this was the first week of school around these parts I'd venture a guess and say there was a tad bit of stress. Well, this week's Friday Funny comes to me via e-mail.  The sender sent along a load of pictures that he thought would make me laugh.  They did, so now I'm gonna share them with you to hopefully prepare for a relaxing weekend. Have a good weekend! (just click an image to enlarge) … [Read more...]
