A New Approach To Blogging
As work consumes more of life and the mere act of aging increases stress levels, I’ve been exploring ways to make my life away from the office more enjoyable. Activities free of stressors. Free of negative personalities. Sometimes a physical activity such as cycling, kayaking, or hiking fits the bill. Other times I just feel like sitting around. Not necessarily watching TV or looking at the familiar walls of home. One of my escapes has always been this website. Something I chose to work on, thus enjoyable. The biggest detractor [...]

My 2012 Toyota Camry is a Lemon and Toyota Doesn’t Help
Update May 10, 2013: I’ve received a response to one of my emails to Toyota Corporate. It states that my complaints have been assigned to a case manager and that I should hear back from them by Monday 5-13-2013. It also outlines the fact that they are not responsible for, nor will they cover the damage to my car. Apparently they won’t stand behind their dealer’s work. Very disappointing.
Update May 9, 2013: My 2012 Toyota Camry reminded me why I wrote this blog post yesterday. The radio [...]

NYC Snowpocalypse 2013 (Live Feed) (Updated)
I don’t know what to expect from this storm but I figured what the hell — throw up a live feed. Want to view the feed full screen? Click here. Otherwise check it out below.
Update Feb. 9, 1:25am: The storm (Nemo) hasn’t been anywhere as bad as predicted. A huge amount of hype here in NYC that Nemo’s definitely not living up to. I’d say we have about 6″ of snow so far. It looks like New England is getting hit hard. Maybe we’ll see some good [...]

Maybe Main St. USA Does Need More Gun Control
You can’t find a more heated or emotionally charged subject these days. Foreshadowing the ongoing debate about marriage equality. Knocking the United States’ looming financial issues from the headlines. Gun control has become THE topic to debate. Defend. Lobby for or against. Following the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings I followed the lead of the many before me. I took to Facebook and Twitter and let my opinions on the subject be known. I posted my own updates. I commented on others. My stance? Our country already has enough laws [...]

How To Resolve TweetDeck Connection Issues: “Unable to connect. Please check your network.”
When it comes to desktop Twitter clients there aren’t many options. If you’re looking for a freebie there are even fewer choices. TweetDeck is far from perfect but it’s one of the better desktop clients available and it’s the one I’ve come to rely on when I’m not using my iPhone or iPad. Back in October I upgraded my pc’s to Windows 8. After reinstalling TweetDeck I was confronted with a fatal error; TweetDeck failed to login to my account and displayed the error message “Unable to connect. Please check [...]

Hurricane Sandy Is NYC Bound (Live Webcam) (Updated)
Frankenstorm (Hurricane Sandy) is bearing down on the north east. I’m here in NYC hoping for the best. Local media has been discussing the impending doom about to strike the New York Tri-state area, but after hurricane Irene’s loud bark and relatively small bite I’m skeptical as to whether or not this storm will be serious. Based on the latest projection the eye of the storm is going to be a long ways from here — passing through southern New Jersey. That’s good news for NYC but terrible news for [...]
