I’ve had a simple flip cell phone for years. All it did was make phone calls and that’s all I wanted it to do – be a phone. I never texted and I even had those featured blocked. But since moving to Washington, I unblocked texting so that I could send Patty text messages and [...]
Two weeks ago I wrote about how Patty and I bought a “new” pre-owned mini-van. Before purchasing the vehicle (which may end up being an entirely different blog post) we purchased an AutoCheck car history report. It’s just like it’s vastly more recognized competitor, CarFax. AutoCheck doesn’t have the massive advertising campaigns that CarFax does, [...]
Today I went to the dentist for the first time in over a year. The reason for the long delay wasn’t because of any problems (as the title of my post may have suggested). It was because my previous dentist dumped me after 10 years and I just finally got around to finding a new [...]

Whenever you upload any images to the Wikipedia Commons it is automatically released under Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License.

The 23rd Regional Emmy Awards were held in Nashville this past weekend so I checked their website to see how many of my past co-workers at WSOC / WAXN were nominated for awards. I was surprised to find that some of MY spots were nominated for an Emmy. What!? Yup, my work was nominated for [...]

During the day I was busy with work and when I got home I was busy preparing for Thanksgiving, so I didn’t even learn of the attacks until mid-Thursday. Immediately upon finding out I went to the internet to learn more about what happened. I went [...]
I left work today and had another flat tire. This is my third flat tire in less than 6 months, and all of them had less than half the mileage of their wear rating. WTF? I questioned the dealer after the 2nd flat tire about the batch possibly being defective but was dismissed. But I’m [...]
700 Billion dollars divided by 140 million taxpayers equals $5,000 per taxpayer. *(There are 300 million Americans but only 140 million taxpayers.)
I’m getting fed up with Blogger’s constant technical failures when it comes to FTP blogs, and their complete inaction on fixing the reoccurring problems. FTP blogs are blogs that are hosted on any website other than Blogger’s blogspot.com domain. I’m an FTP blogger because my blog is hosted on my own personal servers (at mikesussman.com). [...]
All of my websites went down for an unbearable 100 hours a month ago. Even when they finally came back online I’ve continued to have tons problems with things missing or not working, and my host’s tech support has been absolutely horrible. Well you may have noticed that all of my websites were down again [...]
