How to setup a poor man’s slingbox

How to get the sink out of jeans
November 22nd, 2008 at 3:57 pm No CommentsI had a problem with three pairs of my jeans… they stunk! They had a serious funk to them, stale as if I had left them in the washing machine too long. I tried many times to rewash them, but nothing worked. It was like they were perma-stinky. So, I did some research on the Internet and here’s what worked for me.
Pacman and Punkula pumpkins
October 31st, 2008 at 11:58 pm No CommentsI took these pictures with my phone, so the quality is not the best. My Mom says there is a “face” behind the pacman pumpkin. I can kinda see it, but I don’t know what it is.
I got a lot of compliments on the pumpkins from the trick-or-treaters; I just told them, “All I did was follow the patterns!” I think they came out pretty good too. The pattern for Punkula was actually spelled Puncula, but I like Punkula better, so that’s what I’m going with!
Run the Rocks 5k
October 13th, 2008 at 12:23 pm No Comments
Holy crap! I finished 21st out of 759 people! I finished in the top 3%! I usually finish races in the top 50%! And I’m happy with that too. I’m not in stellar shape either, which is shown by my nine minute mile average! But I think there were more walkers than runners and also I think what happened was that some people went the wrong way! There was a T in the road and some people went left and you were supposed to go right! I don’t know how many people went the wrong way, but right after the T, there was a bend in the road and we could see everyone who was in front of us and there weren’t that many people.

I followed these instructions and it worked like a charm. The only thing I noticed was that after I did the restore, my apps were out of order, but no big deal.
