Recipe: My favorite hamburger

November 30, 2011

I love making hamburgers at home. Not those preformed, flavorless (sometimes frozen) hamburgers, but real hand formed burgers. Tonight, I needed a quick meal I could get on the table fast because I had a meeting to go to. Hamburgers won. Making your own awesome hamburgers at home is easy. First, start with good ground [...]

For the past few months, I have been contemplating a tablet computer. I have looked at them, played with them and talked to other people who use them. I have done research on different models to see what they can do. Now, Jeff has decided that he wants to get me one for Christmas… I [...]

November 23, 2011

I wish high schools and colleges would do a better job explaining to students why we call a five class schedule in college “full-time”. Many students believe that when they leave high school to transition to college that full-time education is over. I can understand why they believe this. Generally, high school is five days-a-week, [...]
