When all you want to do is sleep in and be lazy…just like these guys. Whew, life’s been busy lately and I haven’t had much to really say lately on the site so for that, I apologize. If only we had some surf or even a hurricane, that would be something! Right now it’s swelteringly hot and sticky outside. 90% humidity and over 80 every day making it feel close to 100. Just walking down the street it’s a miracle if you’re not sweating within a block. The pups have been growing up so fast and Bishop has finally gotten bigger than little Winston. Hard to believe Winston’s a year old and little Bishop is 9 months old. They both are doing a great job of keeping a smile on my face on a daily basis....

I got a call from New York yesterday from a Federal Agent who’s working on a massive Internet Fraud case. They found my old 17″ MacBook Pro when they got the guy. Evidently he’s been running the same scam that got me on several other people throughout the United States. So it looks like I’ll be getting my old lappy back next week sometime. He called to confirm it was mine and luckily I still had the serial number written down. The idiot didn’t even take my name off the login screen when I sent it though he did lock...

So at the beginning of the year I was around 187 pounds and had been for a few years but I decided to do something about it. Yoga was great and I was hitting the gym at least twice a week but to be honest things were pretty much at a standstill. So my neighbor, Julie started doing crossfit and convinced me to try a month with her. I gotta tell you it’s not easy and still kicks my butt. For the last month I’ve been at it and now I’m down to around 172 pounds. Granted not all the...

So in the process of selling my old laptop online I fell victim to a new internet/PayPal/CraigsList scam. Lucky me. I put the laptop on Craigslist yesterday morning and within a few hours I had a buyer. He requested my PayPal information so I logged in and sent a request for funds to my PayPal account. The account was listed as “Pending”. Then a few minutes later I received an email (I thought was) from PayPal, saying the funds will be released into your account once we have a shipping / tracking number for Express delivery. So I walked down...

After 5 years of running my old 17″ MacBook Pro I took the financial plunge in finally upgrading to this beauty. $2,768.25 later it’s sitting on my desk, loaded with all of my settings, applications, files and photos. Apple makes the transition from one computer to another super easy, especially if you run TimeMachine for your daily backups. The only major hiccup I found was all of my Adobe applications were now out of date and the serials didn’t work anymore. The software was CS4 so it was all in need up updating as well. Luckily Adobe now has a...

A couple weeks ago my neighbor Anne convinced me to try her Yoga studio downtown above Duffy’s in downtown West Palm Beach. It’s hot yoga so right off I was reluctant. The instructor that day is a good friend of hers…but to be honest she’s a bit of a bitch. I’ve been doing Yoga for years and I normally just hold a piece of gum against the inside of my cheek while doing yoga so I don’t have to stop, get a drink of water and lose my breathing. I’m not chewing gum during class, it just keeps my mouth...

Last Monday my New iPad arrived in the mail! My office in Seattle had an incentive for January for my development team and we killed it so I was sitting in anticipation for a few months to get my hands on it. So far I’m completely loving it. I can control my TV and my laptop from it as well has hundreds of other fun things. It is more like a toy so I’d never spend the money to get one (unless for some reason I was wealthy). Thanks to Sesame for getting this for me, it’s awesome!...
