sync iPod Touch calendar with Windows?

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

I’ve had my new iPod Touch for a week now, and I love it. It’s small and has tons of great applications available. But I’m up against a problem that I’ve had for years. I’m a Windows user and I hate Outlook.
First, I’ll explain that last sentence, since people frequently ask me about it. I [...]

skiing down memory lane

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

I used to ski quite a bit in my younger days. When I was 20, I kept my skis locked in the rack on the roof of my Buick Skyhawk all winter. It was easier that way, since I used them at least once or twice a week.
But as a married father of three, I [...]

just leave Wisconsin!

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008

I am so tired if hearing people complain about weather. What kind of lives do you live that you have to constantly complain to other people about weather?
I see this happening in two areas. First, friends and acquaintances are always complaining. And second, even TV and radio personalities have decided that snow is a bad [...]

In the article, Stein discusses the senate vote recount happening in Minnesota. But I’m [...]

1 Kathleen Parker

7 Barack Obama
2 Sarah Palin

let bad companies fail

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

I’ve been watching the story about GM, Ford and Chrysler closely for the past few weeks. All three automobile companies are experiencing some serious financial problems, and as such, are trying to convince the U.S. congress to bail them out. It looks like the companies are indeed going to receive some kind of help, though [...]

a fix for my text message problem?

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

I’ve had a problem receiving text messages for a month or so now. I only receive some, and others just never make it. Specifically, I stopped receiving any tweets from Twitter 4-5 weeks ago. And when I send a message to 4INFO, I no longer get a reply. And some automated alerts I get from [...]
