Why is it that every single Cracker Barrel in existence is SO LOUD? I just had a pretty decent dinner at a Cracker Barrel in Charlotte, NC with the wife and youngest but, as usual it was incredibly loud in that place. I don’t know if they design them that way so you will want [...]
but we’re not IN Kansas !
It’s only April and already we’re under the 4th or 5th Tornado warning of the year here in southwest VA. Crazy I tell ya! Apparently two tornadoes touched down last night near here in Pulaski.

Hello world!
I has a new blog! After over a year away, I’ve decided to reignite the little corner of the web that is my own lil space. I promise to not be a total geek and only post about tech stuff – but I can’t promise that I won’t, either! Over the next couple of days, [...]
