ThatEdeGuy and myself will be attending the North Dakota Public Policy Institute this Saturday the 20th of December in Bismarck, ND.  We are both looking forward to attending as it will give us a chance to network with some of the folks we have heard of, conversed with, and a fellow blogger or two.  (Hi [...]

Well, I was working on a draft of a new post and I noticed that I was at 199 posts. I figured I would put a quick note about that up. It is kind of neat actually. One way or another I have been having this blog and it’s format since 2005.

First, let me say, if you haven’t heard about the HP Magic Giveaway contest yet… go look at it!  HP is having 50 different bloggers around the world give away $6,000 worth of computer equipment.  It is a pretty cool (and fun) contest.  I have entered a few of the contests, though haven’t won yet.  [...]

Well it has been catch up at work and busy at home, so haven’t been able to get a post done here yet this week. However, I do have a couple of posts I wrote from other sites to link to!

Well, playing catch up after the holiday break, but Sparky for one did not seem to approve of everyone returning to a normal schedule.
