    Web Design for Kids

    I actually put a kids linux distro on my daughters computer called sugar on a stick. It runs on top of fedora, but it's pretty flipping awesome. Some cool electronics simulators and I believe there is some game and web design intro stuff also.

    Concentrate on lunch hour crowd. Most only have 1/2 hr and value time more.

    Apathy or Anger?

    I used to get angry. I'm to damn old for that anymore. It's straight up apathy for me, I was in Fareway grocery shopping halfway through the third quarter. My nature is to really get in to games. If that is what they are giving me to watch, then I'm not going to. Probably add 10 years to my...

    Friday OT #2 - Tattoos

    I have 4, the one I have that is visible always draws stupid attention from people trying to guess the meaning. Like cyclone_r_gr8 stated, they don't mean a thing. I just liked the stupid design.

    Most Annoying word or phrase

    Vince Vaughn's character in Swingers would be to blame for that one I believe.

    Most Annoying word or phrase

    "What not" is the word of the idiot. It's a lazy word for people that talk out their *** and can't find a way out of the sentence. I love listening to the podcast, but CW's apparent love for the word drives me nuts. How did a nicnac shelf become a bailout word anyway?

    The post call following text

    Biggest mistake made, going to couch. If she don't want to sleep in same bed with you make her leave. I guess you are letting a stupid text bother ya. Let that crap roll off your back fella. I've found the best way to settle an argument quickly is to refuse to give into the woman fighting...

    Moline for work

    I designed and built the draft system in Bier Stube when I worked for Miller/Coors. I had lunch there a couple months ago when I was back and didn't see the old german (Dieter i believe). Hope he's still kicking, hellofa nice guy.

    Moline for work

    I lived straight up the hill, 8 blocks south of the Mark (or whatever it's called now) in Moline on 16th St. I liked the neighborhood. At that time it was working class, and there was a little bar district within walking distance. Rascals was one of the bars and at the time had the best...

    Friday OT - Superstitions

    Back in high school I was pretty superstitious on game day. My baseball routine was I would walk up to the local grocer, buy a steak, 2 sticks of beef jerky, and 2 32 oz. green gatorades. After pan frying the steak I would eat while watching Major League. My junior year the movie was The Natural.

    Meat lockers in central IA

    Depends how far west/central you are, Kitts locker in Dedham has the best ring bologna I've ever had. Arcadia Meats has good jerky, or Yetter Locker has amazing everything. I believe Yetter Lockers slogan is "You can beat our prices, but you can't beat our meat".

    Smoking recipes

    It has nothing to do with gas smoker. I've noticed that if I don't leave brisket on the smoke for at least 9-10 hours before I wrap the bark is kinda soggy. I used to believe that 4-5 hours is all you need to get good smoke then you can throw in the oven or a roaster wrapped. I tried leaving...

    Friday OT - In-laws

    My MIL is dead and wife just started getting back in touch with her father after 20 years. It works out, I met her mom once and from the stories I've heard I believe I have it pretty damn good. I don't have to deal with MIL bs and her grandfather loves me.

    Friday OT - Hero?

    Holy hell I wish my paramedic friend was on this board. Long story short, we had a drunk girlfriend at a party one night, 5 years ago refer to him as a hero. We haven't let it go since, every chance we get we remind him that he is our hero. If you happen to get emt services in Boone county...
