At lunchtime, I got out some frozen veggies for Olivia and decided she could have some of the leftover lasagna with it. I steamed the veggies in the microwave and heated up the lasagna and brought it all over to the table. The vegetables were too hot for her, so I started cutting up the lasagna and [...]

In Vista, Microsoft has bundled some ‘new’ applications for common tasks. To start, they’ve basically included the capabilities of Microsoft Outlook in Vista. Windows Mail is a new application for all of your email tasks and it is very similar to Outlook. It has everything I’m looking for in an email client and since it isn’t very [...]

It uses GPS, probably RTK GPS, and integrated systems in the tractor to know exactly where the tractor is and it controls the entire system. That means driving [...]

So why do you go to websites to check if they’ve been updated when RSS is like an ‘inbox’ for the web. That’s right, another post on RSS. If you haven’t caught on by now, I think you should be [...]
