I’m currently setting up a new website that focuses on local small and home based business, and as I start to promote it over the next three months I hope some of my readers may want to get involved and hopefully also benefit from it. While hardly a new or stunning idea, The Daily Downtown is another “Local Small Business Directory” with extra emphasis on the “local” and “small”. I want to offer a very low cost advertising alternative to the smaller entreprenuer, with a good chance of... Read Full Story

Ya gotta hand it to the swiss for coming up with the coolest toys! Yves Rossy was the test pilot on May 14, 2008, in a successful 6-minute flight near Lake Geneva, Switzerland ( not Lake Geneva, Wisconsin? dang … ) jumping at 7,500 feet with jet engines and a folded 8-foot pair of wings strapped to his back. Rossy is a Swiss pilot, inventor and aviation enthusiast. While research with jet packs dates back to World War II, his is the first contraption to also have wings. So, can I get... Read Full Story

My daughter and I love to play chess. She’s already at a point where she wins 11 out of 10 games with me - hey I said I like to play, not that I’m good at it . The only challenge is the 300 plus miles separating us. So I did a little looking around, and found an open source “chess server” so we could play online. The server handles multiple players and games, and as I currently have no clue how well or bad the server operates, here’s an open invite to anyone who wants to give it a try... Read Full Story

Nope, I shouldn’t be surprised, she’s not one to be idle. I called my mom today and we spoke for a few minutes. I did not want to keep her on the phone too long, as she was driving back from taking an 80 year old patient to a doctor. The patient lives in the northern burbs of Chicago, and the doctor was somewhere in the city of Chicago. My mom lives in Wisconsin, and is in her 70’s. Still works as a visiting nurse, doing all those things nurses are called upon to do, be it bed pans or... Read Full Story

Last summer I accidentally saved a chipmunk from becoming a kitty-snack. Or perhaps I almost caused the little guy to become someone’s lunch, depending on how you want to look at it. During one of my obnoxious-addiction-but-it’s-legal breaks in the parking lot at work, the little fuzzy guy went barreling past me, headed for the home nest. I guess I did make him a bit nervous, as he failed to notice he was headed straight for a big old neighborhood cat resting in the shade underneath a car... Read Full Story
