Nothing like having to do math to figure out the punch line of a comic. *sigh* Maybe that’s why I like this comic - not your ordinary every day ... http://www.drews-family.org/b2/?p=191 This weekend took another quick stab at shoveling out the basement of clutter. Trying to figure out why I was keeping some computer manuals for things like printers I no longer have, or software I won’t ever use again (Winfax). Also a bunch of developer journals that are no longer ... http://www.drews-family.org/b2/?p=190 Here are a couple more demolition videos of a building right next to my office… http://www.drews-family.org/b2/?p=189 Well, there is now a “cube cheater” app for the iphone that will show you how to solve the Rubix Cube.

They have 2 cement pump trucks going with 2 cement trucks pouring at each of them. There has been a constant stream of cement trucks all day. They are dumping ... http://www.drews-family.org/b2/?p=184 Yesterday was Veterans day. While I am sure most people didn’t notice, and went about their day as if it was like any other.

A number of actors ... http://www.drews-family.org/b2/?p=183 I’m on the tail end of a cold and the other day my mind wandered to this subject. When you meet God, what question would you ask.
