Just my $.02 - Various thoughts, observations and comments.
Big thanks to Forever Geek for this post alerting me to the possibility of tracking packages using an RSS feed. This works just great for people like me with their heads buried too far in their Bloglines account to bother themselves with trying to maintain status of shipped packages for purchases on eBay.
This site lets your track packages from UPS, FedEx, USPS and soon to offer DHL.
That title is obviously meant more for me. It’s been quite some time since I last posted. Guess I’ve gotten caught up in the holidays and taking a little bit of a break from my “real” job. Christmas was really good with the family. Probably the best Christmas we’ve had as a family. Kids have been great and seem to really like and appreciate the gifts they received.
That was a challenge for me this year. I recently went through my son’s closet and threw away a bunch of toys that were purchased for him in the past year or two. Lot’s of crap. This year I wanted to try and stick with classic toys that hopefully wouldn’t grow as old so quick. Santa brought him a new NFL regulation size football, just like the Colts play with, a new Nike basketball, and a Nerf dart gun with pseudo-laser sites. The rest of his Christmas stash was rounded out with Legos, G.I.Joe’s new Sigma Six force, some Hot Wheels playsets and a couple of Xbox games.
My daughter was classic too. Baby dolls, Little Tikes kitchen stuff and other girly things. The two of them also shared some movies together.
I’ll be back into the swing of things shortly. Looking forward to a New Year with everyone!
Mark Merrill’s Family Minute reminds me of my personal reason for the season.
He was born in a tiny village to a peasant girl. He worked as a carpenter until he was 30, then became a traveling preacher. When popular opinion turned against him, he was nailed to a cross, died and rose again. Two thousand years later he is the central figure for much of the human race. All of the armies that ever marched, all the navies that ever sailed and all the kings that ever reigned — put together — have not affected mankind as powerfully as this “one solitary life” — Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas.
As always, my friend Ben has shared something with the viewing public that I find interesting as well. He actually got it from another friend, whom I think I’m friends with too if it’s who I think it is. Anway, the map below shows all the states I’ve been in, 34 to be exact, so only 16 to go. Looks like I need to do some work in the Pacific Northwest and north central United States and of course Hawaii!

Just not happy with your meager 40-hr TiVo unit? Ready to upgrade, but not sure where to start or not sure if you can do it? This site virtually holds your hand through the entire process. Great resource.
Personally, I’m waiting for the TiVo Dual-Tuner HD box to come out and I’m hoping with their new marketing partnership with Comcast, it will be offered via that channel. I currently have a TiVo Series 2 box and also just got a Comcast DVR. TiVo still kicks butt, but I’d sure like more HD space and dual-tuner capabilities.
If anything I’ve said previously about TiVo catches your eye and you decide to purchase one, be sure and use me as a referral. Use e-mail address bnpositive@gmail.com
