Last night I went to Burbank to complete my “week of computer repair and networking”. I am glad to say that the girls are now wireless, have two replays connected, and all computers are surfing the Internet in a clean and happy way. Here�s what we did. Kelly’s computer had Norton running on it. These [...]


Over at the house we have quite a network going on. We have four xBox systems, two three Replay PVRs, two notebook computers, and three desktop computers, and one Playstation 2 with network adapter. So all these items are not in the same room. They are in bedrooms, living room, upstairs, downstairs, and they all [...]


Toby bought a new TV. Thus giving him three (living room, his room, extra TV). So he let me borrow it. So I now have a TV for THE LOUNGE. Add a little paint, move the recliner upstairs, add a DVD player and digital cable, and the room will be complete. In other ‘projects’ news, [...]


Cross one and one-half items off my to-do list. Last night I plugged Caroline�s replay into her network. Then we watched �Kill Bill Volume Two�. I think this is only the third movie I have seen with Caroline. And only the fourth movie I�ve seen (theater or DVD) in the last year. I used to [...]


So I got an email today with a political message. I liked it so I thought it might make you think about our upcoming election. Don’t forget to vote on November 9th 2nd. “REMEMBER THIS FACE AND ALL THAT HAS HAPPENED SINCE HE BECAME PRESIDENT WHEN YOU GO OUT TO VOTE! The photo below is [...]


One day in and I’m 2 for 8. Yesterday I put a little something something up at michaelmontez.com and Brian and I went to Fry’s and I bought a new router for the folks at 81st street. I choose the Netgear WGR614. It’s wireless G (faster speeds) and is xBox Live compatible. Well, it is [...]


Quite the busy weekend. I’ve been playing Burnout 3 nonstop since I found out Jon bought it on Wednesday. It�s a real great racing game and the crash mode got a little campy, but not over the top campy. I went to the gym after work on Friday. Did a combo circuit � cardio walk [...]


http://www.oakley.com/thump Absurdly ridicules or extremely cool, it seems that those are the only two options available to Oakley designers. When they develop something like the over-the-top sunglasses or price their Time Bomb watch at $1500 (I still want one), you have to think “absurdly ridicules”. But then they release the Thump, and you think “extremely [...]


Granted, the summer season is over, but the heat remains. It’s been a jam (grape) packed few weeks and I thought I should get my thoughts on pixel. Here are some things that you might want to know about: 1) Our neighbor has a child. In fact, they have two. One, age 2, the other [...]


I am writing, but I have nothing to say. I remember back in my creative writing classes that if you can’t think of anything to write, just start writing whatever pops into your head. So that’s what I’m doing. But nothing is popping. What about POP ROCKS, a new ABC Family movie. Staring Gary Cole. [...]


I swear, I didn’t mean to do it. It just, happened. I really needed it and she was easy and flexible. She didn’t mind that I had to rush in and rush out. She was all business. I met her last night; she said it would be better if we hooked up tomorrow. So we [...]
