Apple would like you to believe that their battery recall was their way of making good on shipping out a bad batch of batteries. Unfortunately, if the serial number is not in the range that qualifies, it is not covered, even if it inflates like a balloon. I wonder if that means it is still safe to use? I guess it must be.

If someone in Cedar Falls is looking for a missing golf ball, I think I have it.

Am I the only one who now doesn't want to go to bed because I don't want to miss the last episodes of Conan? What a shame.

So my 93 Accord's transmission went out this morning on the way to work. Had it towed, and just heard back. Officially dead. For a little more than the car is worth I can have a transmission with 100,000 miles on it put in. Oh, and we sold our spare car on Friday.

Since the last update I did get the Lightning. It is actually a STR, not VX, so it is the newer version. I don't know what is actually different.Right now, both the truck and the car are taken apart in my basement. Trying to get things figured out. It is amazing how much you can learn while tooling around on them. I think I am getting a better understanding on them, so hopefully I won't

So, if you know me well enough to know that I have a blog, you know that I tend to obsess about some things. Razors are a good example. Anyway, I have a new obsession. Nitro RC. I have wanted a nitro RC vehicle since I was in high school, and finally decided to make it happen. I sold a razor to buy a Redcat Volcano SV. A monster truck. Fairly cheap, but a good way to get started from what

In researching netbooks recently I saw a review where someone said that they bought the 1000HE from Best Buy, and when they got it home they started noticing things weren't available that they were expecting and eventually found that Best Buy actually sells the 1000 HEB not the 1000 HE. Turns out that the competitively priced computer at Best Buy is a heavily watered down version. Note that

Well, I guess I should update on the washer/dryer post, they arrived on the 8th, and have been in use since the 9th. Absolutely worth it, they are great, it still seems crazy to me though.I want to go fishing so bad right now. Must catch fish.

OK, yeah, sorry, I haven't updated in forever. I am a horrible blogger. Black Friday 2008, I get up early and head to Sears to get in on a great deal on a washer and dryer combo. We hadn't really been looking, but our washer/dryer has always sucked, and it was dieing fast. I buy the 29th set. Really? They sold 28 sets before I got there at 6:15? Unfortunately I was out of town

I "won" a new camera this evening. I love how ebay lets you win things then still expect payment. I wanted a decent digital camera for a long time, and Krystal and I decided tonight that we are missing too many "Canon" moments. Our point and shoot does not cut it. After much research I decided I wanted the Canon XSI. After some consulting with Krystal, I decided the Canon XTI was what I

I still can't believe Planters stopped making Cheez Balls/Curls in the cans. I kept thinking I just was not looking in the right stores, but it is official. Planters hates customers. They were by far the best. I could get a giant tub of cheese balls at Sams club, but I would rather have the delicious goodness of the little can of balls for $.99, even if it would take 49 cans to fill one of

Sorry, even though I am updating, I don't really have any updates. The baby blog has been updated regularly, so check that out if you are looking for updates. :) Otherwise much of my time has been spent readying for the little man. Working on the house, going to baby classes, showers, and looking at the clearance section of every store that sells baby stuff. Other than that, the flooring

On the way to our home town over the weekend we were cruising along highway 20. There was a truck in the right lane, just before we catch up to it, a car that had been behind the truck pulls in to the left lane. I also pull in to the left lane, because I assume the car is going to pass this truck, and I would like to do the same. The car pulls up along side the truck, then decides that it

I am sure you are all excited to read about shaving stuff more... Sorry, obsession continues. Anyway, Over the weekend I turned a handle for a shave brush. I have been putting coat after coat of polyurethane on it ever since, and I finally decided it was enough, and epoxyed the knot in this evening. I found the silver tip badger knot online, and my dad has more wood than we will ever find a

I stumbled upon this story on Yahoo news, and thought it was worth commenting on. This guy put a $12,000 engagement ring in a balloon, so he could "pop" the question, and walked outside and let it blow away. First of all, why did it need to be helium filled? Second, a balloon with a $12,000 ring in it should be tied to your wrist or something. Third, this is really funny.

Tuesday after work I decided to swing in to an antique dealer on Main St. I was looking for safety razors. Well, she had just finished telling me that they had none, and that there must be "some kind of movement" because they sold all of the ones that have been sitting there for 9 years with no interest. I informed her I was part of that movement. I was about to head out as another guy

The lack of updates in the recent weeks has been due to a lack of interesting news. I suppose I will give an update on what I have been spending time on. Krystal insisted that we replace our carpet on the main level before we had a kid. Well, most of my readers will know that there is a boy on the way, so my time is short. We ordered a little over 700 square feet of laminate, and about 40

I posted a long time ago about a company I tried to order darts through, only to find out that they were crooks, well, that has been by far my most popular post getting over half the hits to my blog on any given day. Well, it appears that Kyle Hove, the owner, has finally found google. On the 16th of this month, he found the archive of the post, which happens to be the second result on the

Friday we had our 20 week ultrasound. We found out we are having a boy! We are very excited! Both of his grandmas joined us for the ultrasound. It was really neat to have them there for it. We started getting his room ready for him too. My sister Jenna came to visit us, and helped us pick out a paint color, and helped us paint. Now we need to clean out that closet, and paint in there.

Saturday morning I woke up to my wife telling me our refrigerator was dead. This was lovely, especially since we just put in over $100 in groceries the night before. It was seriously room temperature in the refrigerator, but the freezer was cold. Our fridge is an Admiral, which is made by Maytag. Imagine how lucky I thought I was. Well, at least the repair man will be able to get here soon,

We are really excited! If you have any interest be sure to check it out for updates. In the mean time I will continue here, hopefully more regularly than I have recently.

A fantastic, impressive UNI football season came to an end this weekend. It is a bummer that it had to end the way it did, but Congratulations to the team on a great season, and thanks to all of the seniors. This Wednesday UNI mens basketball will take on Iowa at home. I am pretty excited for this game. We had a pretty impressive stand against Iowa State at Hilton. It would be great to see
