Of Baking Bread and Busy
Video post today, quick & dirty & edited, because I’ve got so many other things going on today. A video about being busy as a stay-at-home dad. -TimK
Are women flirting with me?
I recorded this humorous video yesterday, about a something that happened to me yesterday, and posted it for my Facebook friends. This is the first time I’ve tried creating a video in this style, and I was happy with how it turned out, so I might do it again sometime.
Why Are We So Unhappy Having All These Things?
One of my daughters today was approaching tears, when I almost blew up at her. I didn’t actually yell at her, I hope, but I felt my temperature and voice rising in unison. She was upset, because we didn’t have an extra pool pass, so that she could go to the community pool party today, […]
This is Peace!
I wasn’t going to put up another blog post today, but this little tidbit about friendships blew me away. And so I had to post it, and I had to post it now, and this is the right place to post it, so here it is. Even if you’re not religious, I hope you find […]

Because I was one of the people today subjected to the “texting while driving” video that’s been making the rounds. I say “subjected to,” because I had not heard […]
The Lazy Man’s Ginger Chicken Stir-Fry… at least the leftovers
Yesterday—which is when I’m actually writing this—I told the Missus, “You know, every time I make a new dish, I should take a picture of it as a matter of course. She agreed without hesitating. Because I had made dinner Sunday afternoon, and we had eaten our fill, and only then did I think that […]
OpenOffice Drop Caps Too Big? Try This Work-around
This is an issue I’ve been wrestling with in OpenOffice.org 3, and I just now figured out a work-around. I use OpenOffice Writer to typeset most of my books, because it works well enough, and it’s cross-platform (kinda).
