    Print from an Android device?

    I just went with Google Cloud Print. Once you've got your printers set up in Cloud Print, you can print to them from your Android device. http://www.google.com/cloudprint/learn/

    Groomsmen gifts

    I gave my groomsmen good pocketknives and nice flashlights...Benchmade 556S (Mini Griptilian with a combiEdge) and SolarForce L2P-based lights with good drop-ins and extra batteries. The lights are SureFire knock-offs, but they work well. Came out under $200 for each groomsman and they loved the...

    Get outside and look at the Moon!!!

    A new camera body is quickly moving up my short list of toys. Not sure what I'll end up with, though.

    Get outside and look at the Moon!!!

    Canon 30D, 70-200 f/2.8L IS USM, ISO100, f/4, 1/1000 sec. I think my wife may have manually focused this one, cause AF wasn't getting it done and her eyesight is better than mine. I wish I had a 2x teleconverter (or a few); I had enough headroom light-wise that I could have made good use of it.

    chat

    The old chat setup was not great, but the new system is abysmally bad. Just set up an IRC channel already somewhere and offer a web client for those that don't want to use a stand-alone IRC client.

    ...And why the hell I can't get that to work as an embedded video is annoying. :(

    Achievement unlocked: Tied the knot!

    On Saturday, 12 July 2014, I married the woman I've loved for a large portion of my adult life. :) Amy Lohn and I put on a nice, short wedding ceremony officiated by a judge, then threw one hell of a reception with about two hundred of our closest family and friends. :) The wedding ceremony...

    Family=drama???

    My folks disconnected from most of the extended family when I was young, so I've managed to avoid a bunch of drama that way until recently. My dad is a stand-up guy and has been the executor for relatives' estates, some of which he's had no contact with for years. Cue drama...The sister with the...

    Spy and malware fixes...

    Another vote for MalwareBytes. I also prefer Avast! over AVG, but to each their own. There's also HijackThis, but it is not for the faint of heart.

    Windows xp no more security patches

    Disagree all you want; they've still supported XP longer than Apple or any of the Linux distributions support any given version of their OS. You're right that they haven't really done much "worthwhile" since XP...But that doesn't really matter. They write operating systems; obligating them to...

    Windows xp no more security patches

    XP, for me, was like an old workplace romance. She was in my life for more than a decade, but as time went on we grew apart as I got together with the younger, more-attractive Win7 at work. However, recently XP has become the crazy ex-girlfriend. She shows up everywhere and at the worst times...

    pc power supply

    Unplug the power cable from the PSU or the wall, or just turn the switch on the PSU off, hit the power button on your machine, turn the PSU back on or plug it back in and hit the power button again. I've seen PSUs get "weird" every so often; this little trick has worked for me several times...

    Walking Dead.. just me?

    I almost gave up on TWD when they spent half a season on the farm looking for Sophia and accomplishing nothing else...Now they're grinding along in a different way and I don't like it. Another gripe about the show: if Michonne's "pets" worked so well, why doesn't everyone make some?

    What she drug home...

    Very nice. If I were going to look for an XJ, it would be just like that one. You're right; it's so hard to find ones like that these days.

    "New" Lethal Injection - Prisoners "Afraid to Suffer"

    I'm not anti-death-penalty, but I am you-better-be-really-damn-sure-the-guy-is-guilty-before-you-execute-him. To that end...This whole issue is stupid. This is one of those issues that's so simple, people are overlooking the obvious answer. Inert-gas asphyxiation is the way to go. Nitrogen is...

    Wow...A total drubbing of a team wearing orange and blue. I didn't know the Illini were playing... (For those that are not familiar, the Fighting Illini are University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's team, generally regarded as the laughing-stock of the Big Ten, and their colors are also...

    My latest silly project...

    It works very well. I commented on testing it in the first post. Sorry...Maybe I should have done that in a separate post. Maybe a mod will move this to the shop tools section...I'd never noticed that section.

    My latest silly project...

    So, for the holidays I got a lot of woodworking tools...A DeWalt 618 router with plunge and fixed bases, a Bosch router table to go with the router, a nice jigsaw, some nice router bits...All of this stuff generates dust. I don't like dust. I have a small shop-vac...A Stanley SL18017...

    Awesome Bands that don't get enough credit

    How about The Cult? Everyone knows 'Fire Woman' but few know its real name; everyone calls it 'the smokestack lightning song.' http://youtu.be/HNcpasj__WY

    Making things difficult...

    I feel your pain, inkjunkie...My fiancee is like that as well. What makes it worse is she can't drive, so I pretty much have to go shopping with her.

    fixin to get plum nasty in central il

    I've spent the better part of my day and a good piece of my evening/night on the roads around here. I've helped un-stick or un-ditch more than two dozen cars, including two local cops, drove out of town to pick up two friends that ditched their truck and couldn't get out, taken relatives to/from...

    "The only winning move is not to play." At least, that's my philosophy on such things.

    fixin to get plum nasty in central il

    We're right on the edge of the "really bad" area here. It's going to be no fun for anyone. My dad works weekend nights and has to spend part of his time outdoors taking readings and collecting samples so I'm going to try to drop in and check on him.
