It puts the lotion on its skin, err, calendar
At the left is a screenshot of Jorte Calendar’s settings menu. Click the thumbnail to enlarge it. First, let me say that I love Jorte Calendar. It’s one of the first things I’m sure to install when I get a new Android device. It’s currently on my HTC Amaze 4G, ASUS Transformer and was on [...]
World’s Best Boss cake for Steve Carrell
Howie and I are huge fans of NBC’s The Office. Steve Carrell is a big part of that, so I’m really bummed to see him leave the show. Fortunately, the rest of the cast is terrific, so I hope it can keep the momentum. I really don’t want to see The Office jump the shark. [...]

Breakin’ with Mr. Rogers
Growing up in the late 60′s and early 70′s, I never realized how Mr. Rogers kept his show relevant to the times. I was just learning about the world and had no frame of reference. Through the wonders of YouTube, I now can look back on his show through the decades and see how he [...]
