Just another useless blog
One of the first things I found when trying to create a track that I could use on my Zumo XT was that there isn’t any easy way to do it, the Garmin Explore web interface is good for managing your assets (waypoints, routes, tracks, etc) and works ok for creating easy point-to-point tracks/routes but […]
Last week I noticed that my high/low beam switch on my Sicass Multi-Function Bar Switch wasn’t working correctly. The high beam would be a low beam with the tail running light on and the low beam would be a low beam with the tail running light off. I contacted tech support at Sicass describing my […]
I’ve had a Motorola Droid Turbo for almost a year now and one of my biggest complaints is that while wirelessly charging on a QI charger a overlay would popup every few seconds even if the screen was unlocked. Today I noticed a system app running called “Inductive Charger” so I thought maybe I can […]
Because there have been a few times that I have needed to adjust a column in PostgreSQL from one type of casting to another I am going to put it here so I can find it again and for anyone else that may be looking to do the same thing. ALTER TABLE table_name ALTER COLUMN […]
The Miggo is a product that was funded by a Kickstart campaign and is described as follows: “Serves as a camera strap which morphs into a compact and padded camera carrier” Sounds kind of nice, no? I thought it sounded nice so I backed the campaign and like most Kickstart campaigns forgot about it. A […]
A grilled cheese sandwich is one of those foods that, when done right, can make you feel just a bit better about life when you are having a bad day. Below I will show you how I create MY perfect grilled cheese sandwich and I hope some of you find it as good as I […]

Items I use: Sharp knife (http://amzn.com/B008M5U1C2) Potato masher (http://amzn.com/B00004OCJK) […]
How do you explain the gravity of death and killing something/someone to a 7 year-old in a manner they will understand? Today my oldest (just over 7.5 years old), while somewhat upset, told his mother that he wanted to “kill himself”. Killing one’s self is not something that has ever come up in conversation or […]
Analyzing a sequence of dates to determine the best guess for when the next event will accor is something best left to statistical modeling tools, but I’m going to try and show you a very basic way to do exactly that using PHP and an array of date/time stamps. First off the data/time stamp sample […]
For about a year or two I’ve owned a Gerber Applegate-Fairbairn that I have found to be a very nice knife for under $100. It holds a good edge, its light, and it’s not to small nor to big. About a month ago I was messing with it to see if I could adjust the […]
