Depot Redux is an organization devoted to the preservation, and to some extent, furthering the usefulness of, the current Lawrence BNSF/Amtrak station. The depot is located across the street from my family’s business and is, to some extent, the reason I became a railfan. Anyway, they have found members of the community to open and…

Jerry, the primary use of the computer I previously blogged about, bought a new monitor and hard drive. I attempted to image the old hard drive onto the new one, but when I tried to get it to boot, windows didn’t like it. Therefore, I had to keep the old hard drive as-is, but I…

I’ll save my thoughts on the Tiller Assasination and the latest of the South Lawrence Trafficway for later, today, I have to make a comment on other things. Recently, I’ve heard advertisments on the radio for online backup service. From my perspective working in IT, I can see it to be effective for many end-users.…

Tonight, the Jayhawks face the Arizona wildcats on the FOX sports network. The lead-in to the KU game is… the St. Louis Blues versus the Detroit Red Wings. I dunno about this. Although there are a few Ice Hockey fans in the area, somehow, there aren’t as many of those as there are of college…
