Grado Headphones
I am a HUGE fan of Grado headphones. Many years ago I wanted the SR80s but I didn\’t NEED them so I used my old cheap set. And one year for Christmas, my Dad surprised me with the Grado SR80 headphones!
Plaid Flatware
I was wandering around Anthroplogie the other day. They have the cutest kitchen stuff. I always enjoy looking at it but I rarely buy anything because we don\’t really NEED anything for our kitchen.
I found a Fitbit
I was out walking the other morning and I found a Fitbit on the ground. I posted on our neighborhood forum that I found it but I didn\’t get any responses. A lot of people come into Georgetown to work

Setting up an Apple Time Capsule

Nautical Charts as Clocks?
On our recent trip to Annapolis, Maryland we were walking through town when we passed a shop that had the most amazing clocks on display in the window. After walking inside we quickly realized that they

DC Blizzard
I’m about a week late in posting this but there is still snow on the ground for now so it’s not too late. I shot some time lapse video of our crazy blizzard last Friday night and Saturday morning and I
Keeping your information secure online
I am in the process of moving my web content to a new hosting service because my previous host was pretty far behind in their security configurations. They still allow MD5 encryption as an option for
Image fun continues
I\’ve made more progress since initially discovering the fun that can be had when playing with web servers and image requests. I have several nice log files of every site that is linking to my images,
Biscuits and Gravy – Home Made
A few weeks ago I decided that I wanted to have biscuits and gravy for breakfast but I really didn\’t want to try to find it in DC because the restaurants here never seem to get things like this right.
Realistic Baby Doll at FAO Schwarz
I always enjoy listening to my friends talk about their children. Today the talks were about amazing hotel beds in NYC this past long weekend and how the kids didn\’t want to sleep in at all so mom and
Unplugged
I\’ve really cut back on my social media this year. I haven\’t been updating my blog, Facebook or Twitter much. I decided that 2014 was going to be a lot more focused on our little family. Chris and
