Chumby One Review


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

You might remember the original Chumby, which wasn’t quite as cool as the new Chumby One is. It has a touch screen for starters, and an awesome speaker. You can configure the widgets through the free web account that you get when you buy your Chumby. Personalize it any way you want. The thing I think I like the most is that it runs on battery, as well as through a regular cord.

LEGO AT-AT Fun


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

The LEGO AT-AT is the All-Terrain Armored Transport, seen in Return of the Jedi and The Empire Strikes Back. This is actually my third major LEGO build. The first was the Star Destroyer, which was given to me by a friend. The second was the Death Star, which friends helped me build a few months ago on my birthday. The coolest thing about the AT-AT is that it is motorized! Just flip a switch and watch it take off across your room. I happen to think it’s probably the coolest thing I’ve seen all year. I’m just not so sure that Pixie would agree.

Apparently, I was on Good Morning America today – and I didn’t even know it! They decided that the word of the year is “unfriend”. And, they decided to use a picture of me to demonstrate it!

The Best Email Flame I Ever Received

When you are subjected to public scrutiny as closely as I am, you have to develop a thick skin. Not everyone is going to like – or agree with – what I do. I’m okay with that. I welcome differing opinions, and even encourage people regularly to post rebuttals to something I’ve said. I’ve received my share of complaints, put-downs, and outright hostile messages over the years. Most of the time, I simply hit the reply button and add nothing other than a smiley face in the response.

Hawaii Travel Tips


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

People always say that Hawaii is best known and loved for the gorgeous scenery and weather. I have to disagree. My favorite thing about the Islands is the food. Bruce took me to a “hole-in-the-wall” (for lack of a better word) restaurant recently. It was hands-down the best food I’ve eaten in a very long time. I had to ask Bruce to share with us the best places to eat in Hawaii, and where to find the best food.

Bird is the Word


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

On my recent trip to Hawaii, I visited Puka Dog in order to try one of their famous hot dogs. While there, I also met Rosie the Green-Winged Macaw. I’m not so sure I enjoy a bird sitting on me. It was kind of freaky! Nothing against Rosie… she was a very nice bird!!

The hot dog was delicious, by the way.

Are There Any Drawbacks to Being a Geek?

My mouth hit the floor when I read the title of this thread earlier on Geeks. A drawback to being a Geek – what?! Are you kidding me? Being a Geek is the best possible thing to be. We have it all – brains, looks, girls… what more could we want? The looks, well, just because they are funny looks at times means nothing. It’s just part of the total package that makes us so amazingly perfect, right? And the girls – ahhh, the girls – we all know that Geek boys get all the girls, right? Wait, what? You have trouble finding a girlfriend? Well, perhaps if you showered more often, and stopped being so nervous around the fairer sex. Fine. The looks and the girls may be lacking. But we have the brains! And the brains get us the money! And the money gets us more Geeky gadgets! Who needs girls, anyway?
