Earlier this summer I found an old CD wallet with some CDs in it I thought I'd lost. And, I can't believe I'm saying this, but as I write this I am letting iTunes rip them in its proprietary AAC file format...

I've been suffering some major blogging burnout these past few months, but I am forcing myself to write something today. It will either get me back into it, or confirm that I really don't want to do it anymore...

It's been a while since I've blogged, and I still don't have the time nor the inspiration for a long post, but here are a few updates...

This blog has been quiet lately, because I've been spending all of my free time working on a new project. It's one of the new web sites I purchased the domains for early last year, but never really found the motivation to start seriously working on...

Spring is supposed to be a season of birth, renewal, and new beginnings. But to me, it often seems more like a season of loss...

TGIF. That universally recognized acronym chanted by full time workers everywhere to signal that the weekend starts in just a few hours. To us, the 40-hour slaves, the weekend is what the entire week is all about...

Several years ago when we lived in a rented apartment, we had a mixed bag of neighbors. There were a few problem people, such as the drunk who lived behind us...

Today I made a couple of changes to what you see at the bottom of posts on confoozled.com. First, I removed the star rating widget...

I occasionally use my state's paratransit program to get home from work when Chris has to work late or otherwise can't be there to take me home. A few weeks ago I called to schedule a ride after not having used it in a couple of years, and discovered two things...

We bought our first brand new living room set back in 2001, a year after we moved into our first apartment. I remember what a frustrating process it was, finding something we both liked which would fit into our existing color scheme, which we were not interested in changing...

It's time to focus on getting healthy again. I've let myself go for too long, and there is no excuse except that restricting myself all the time seems to slowly drive me to a huge rebellion like the one I've been on for the past eight months or so...

Not only do I wish I had more time off, having the money to afford a real vacation would be nice, too. I wish I could take a whole month off with a magical unlimited vacation budget...

A little over a week ago, I think for the first time since I started this blog, I was seriously considering quitting blogging for good. I was getting ready to write a post to say that I was thinking about quitting, and expressing all of the reasons why it was something I was considering, when this stupid little thing came along that ticked me off...

I know I tend to grumble a lot about my job sometimes. I do realize that I'm lucky to have one, but at the same time I think it's a bad idea for us to keep laying down and letting employers use the bad economy as a free pass to treat their employees poorly...

For quite some time now it has been my plan to replace my three year old original iPhone model when this year's model comes out. For the past few months Chris and I have been in an ongoing debate, as he has somehow convinced himself that Apple is not releasing a new model this year...

Who'd have thought that less than two weeks after I mentioned the record-breaking flood stage of the river near my house, it would flood again and break even more records? This time, instead of stopping across the street from the complex, it came all the way to our side of the street and into the property entrance...

Ever since YouTube started offering higher quality and high definition versions of some of its videos, I have had a really hard time getting through to them that I always want to see the highest quality version available...

I guess it's been a little while since I've written anything! Last week I came down with a cold, and while it was nothing compared to the one I had in early December, it still had me moaning and groaning and asking for my mommy, and there were a good two days when I was unable to do much of anything other than stare off into space...

A couple of weeks ago we took a day trip to Groton, Connecticut to my former coworker Norm's house. The primary purpose of the trip was to help Norm set up his new business computer, but we also brought Brooskey and Vixen along to play with his two Australian Shepherds, Summer and Merlin...

You all know that I am a die hard iPhone lover. I love its touch screen and on screen keyboard, and the fact that it responds to the lightest touch and I don't have to apply any pressure makes it so much easier for me to use...

Winter. My most hated time of year. Specifically, that long stretch of winter after the fun of the holidays is gone, until it's possible to comfortably wear short sleeves outside again...

Since we got FiOS we've been very happy with both the TV and internet service, but the change must have awoken some dormant problem with my computer, because my connection to our wireless network gradually degraded until I just could not get online at all anymore (even though I was supposedly still connected with excellent signal)...

Okay, so I'll weigh in on the iPad. I wasn't one of those people who went into the announcement with my mind already made up to hate it and to hurl insults at those who don't, but in the end I was less than impressed...

Lately when I spend time at my home computer, my hands have been getting cold and the back of my right hand even goes numb... a rather unpleasant sensation. It doesn't happen if I crank the heat up high enough, but then my computer overheats, especially if I'm playing The Sims 3...

It's kind of fun to dig back in my blog and see how things have changed over time. For example, this meme I did about five years ago, where one is supposed to go through the alphabet and see what comes up first in their web browser's auto complete list for each letter...
