Yesterday I was walking back from the Metro after work. It’s a mile walk. Just because I was curious, I took out my new Android mini-tablet (more on that in a future post) and ran one of several wi-fi scanning programs I have. These aren’t hacking apps. They’re just standard apps that scan for available [...]
This is just a quick test to see if my WordPress for Android app really works offline as it claims to. (Obviously needing internet access later to actually upload.)
On Sunday I left right on time to drive to the Metro station and then take the train into the city to watch a certain professional football team play. (Not naming teams.) After locking up my car and walking down to the Metro entrance, a stranger stopped me and asked me if I had jumper [...]
On Friday I kept getting voice mails from an old lady named Jane in North Carolina. Messages ranged from not knowing the location of the restaurant we were supposedly meeting at later, to this very strange one…

This US Airways plane is fairly well known in Charlotte (a US Airways [...]

It was scary enough being nine floors up during the earthquake so I can only imagine being 555 feet in the air, at the top of a hundred-year-old [...]
Yesterday’s Panthers game started off sunny and ended off sunny, but in between was the most rain I’ve seen during a football game since Pittsburgh played Miami during the onset of hurricane Jeanne in 2004.
