Newly launched news portal

November 22, 2007

Contrary to popular belief, I do get other news besides watching Fox News Channel and listening to Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and Rush Limbaugh.  Like most other people, I get news from other portals such as BBC, Associated Press, CNN, Reuters, etcetera, which usually means visiting a dozen or so websites throughout the course of [...]

First snow of the year & other pictures

November 22, 2007

I was so excited Tuesday morning – probably more excited than the kids were. The first real snow flakes of the season were flying and I couldn’t wait to see Vinny’s face when he saw them. By the early afternoon, we had a couple of inches so I thought I would introduce him to his [...]

Almost there

November 16, 2007

Well it looks like things are going to be OK.  There are plenty of changes I need to make but the big stuff is taken care of for the most part.  Unfortunately some of my permalinks aren’t working but most of them are – doesn’t make any sense really.  Guess it wont matter really – [...]

Ok – here goes . . .

November 15, 2007

Well, this site will be down for a bit. Hopefully not long. First, the URL will temporarily change to vinsdad.blogspot.com . This will be just long enough to move wordpress onto the Vinsdad server and import all of the posts. After all the posts are transferred, I can delete my blogger account – of course [...]

November 14, 2007

Well the last few days I have been setting up my WordPress installation before I actually move over. I need to make sure all the links are working and things look good before I transfer.

Google Whacked!

November 13, 2007

I thought I had escaped without injury during Google’s most recent round of Page Rank Updates. With so many big name bloggers enduring a drop in their page rank a couple of weeks ago, I was counting my lucky stars that Google’s attacks had missed me. But then reality struck . . . I have [...]

Time for a "new" car

November 7, 2007

Nearly two weeks ago, Mary was in a car accident. Nothing horrible happened to her or the other driver, however, our Jeep was totaled. The other driver had a Subaru that, judging from the pictures (I will put them up later), was likely totaled as well. The REALLY annoying part: She (the other driver that [...]

I am done with Blogger

November 6, 2007

The first year or so of this blog went rather well from a hosting standpoint – I had been using Blogspot as the host and there was never a problem. That all changed a couple of months ago when I switched to my own hosting via 1and1.com that I experience issues. I have had enough [...]

Steven King’s – The Mist

November 6, 2007

I was just checking out the trailers for The Mist by Stephen King and have to say that it looks intriguing. I enjoyed the very candid interview with director Frank Darabont(Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile) that had some amusing anecdotes about his experience with the film. An underlying theme in this movie seems to [...]
