I really wanted to get some experience with tablet pc computing. Actually, there was some “need” for this based on my profession and the desire of some of “my” customers to work with tablets. I have been using my Samsung Galaxy S 4G phone for about six months now and love it. I could easily… [Read More]

Data Binding EVAL
I found a neat little trick this past week. Probably something that all other programmers that are using data binding already knows… In short, I needed to show JavaScript Confirm popup following the click event of a LinkButton contained in a GridView on an ASP.Net 4.0 framework web site page. If not familiar, a Confirm… [Read More]
Tomorrow Is a Gift
Sometimes it can be hard to remember how blessed I am. It is so easy to be consumed with the “problem” of the moment. It used to be job/career, finances, home maintenance, car maintenance, etc… that took me away. Many blessings were with me on those days and instead I focused on the problems. I… [Read More]

I have been unable to determine exactly how much power is required for a laptop over… [Read More]
Engine or No

Auto engines and airplanes… Wavy potato chips or smooth… Country music or rock and roll… I don’t enjoy confrontation or debate so I’ve learned to avoid these topics altogether. Too bad,… [Read More]
The End
This week is the end of a wonderful lifetime. I am sad to see it go. I am sad about many things. The many years have been truly wonderful and I am thankful for them. There were happy times and sad, care-free times and difficult – I look at them all now as pure joy… [Read More]
Thanksgiving Proclamation
The following is the original Thanksgiving Proclamation signed by President George Washington in 1789. I LOVE the writings of our founding fathers. It is very, very clear to me that they were God fearing men and knew exactly where our many blessings came from. All of this nonsense about ‘separation of church and state’ is… [Read More]
