Last night I went out after work to get groceries at the Giant supermarket in Wheaton, MD. I also had to fill up my car with gas too. I had just over a quarter tank and I don’t like to have the tank so low when it’s so cold. But I get a bonus card [...]
I’ve been social networking for years. The professional networking site LinkedIn since 2007, Facebook since 2008, and Twitter in 2009.

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 [...]
