I heard a radio commercial for a home DNA kit which can be used t find out who your baby's daddy is. The announcer goes on about how you can receive the results in a about two weeks. It made me think, doesn't it take months for crime labs to get DNA results for what sounds to be a similar, if not the same, test? Yet, this company can do it in a couple of weeks. I don't remember the name of the

Lately I've been on a mole kick. It started a few weeks ago and prior to that, it had been a long time since I had any. Mole (audio pronunciation) is a Mexican sauce made from chiles, nuts, spices, and chocolate. Traditionally, mole is served over turkey or chicken, but you can find it served with enchiladas at Mexican restaurants - which is the way I've been eating it lately. So far, Casa Lupe

i like writing using only lower case text. i like how sentences and paragraphs look when they are written in lower case only. i think they are easier to read and they look cleaner too. i've been writing like this for years. especially when writing emails and comments on message boards and blogs. lately, as i've been reading more blogs and their comments, i've noticed more people writing like

Back in December, I wrote about a driving citation I received. Two days before my scheduled court date of January 10th, as written on the citation by the officer, I received a letter about by the city. In the letter I'm given three options. 1) Pay the fine, but it goes on my driving record, 2) Schedule court date and contest the citation or, 3) Pay fine and go to driving school to remove citation

After much trouble, I finally was able to transfer the photos I had taken with my Motorola RAZR V3 cell phone to my pc. You can see some of them on Flickr.The owner's manual doesn't cover how to transfer or download photos. Cingular's and Motorola's website aren't any help either. Cingular offers a media package that includes internet access. If I had also gotten that with my phone service I

I've had my Motorola RAZR V3 for several weeks now. Here are some thoughts on it:a lot of times, I find it difficult to flip it open, especially one-handed. This is due to it being thin and wide.because of how thin and light it is, I like how I can easily carry it in my front pants pocket without it being bothersome.I still haven't received the software I bought online that's needed to download

I got a driving citation on November 8 for not making a complete stop at an intersection (which is debatable) and I still haven't received whatever paperwork they send in the mail. I've gotten speeding tickets in the past and received mailed instructions on what to do - pay bill or go to traffic court. On the citation I had to sign, the officer wrote down a traffic court date of January 10. I'm

For whatever reason, this year I'm enjoying Christmas music more so than years past. KOIT, a local radio station, plays only Christmas music 24/7 during the month of December up until Christmas day - so I get to listen to as much as I want. They've been doing this for a few years. They play different versions of all the classics and new music too. They also stream over the internet, making it

I finally replaced my Motorola T-720 cell phone which I've been using since December of 2002, with a black Motorola RAZR V3. I only upgraded because I switched from Verizon to Cingular and my T-720 doesn't work with Cingular's network.I've had it for a week so far, and I really like it. It has all the cool features expected in new phones nowadays such as a camera (photos and video), speaker phone

Whenever I come across a product or service which I think is great, I like to tell everyone about it. Well, I don't actually go telling everyone about it, but if it comes up in conversation I may evangilize it. Now that I started this blog, I have the opportunity to share some of the things I've come to like. For starters...Timbuk2 messenger bagI had been carrying my 17 inch-wide Dell notebook in

I don't remember how I came up with this online identity. It probably seemed cool at the time. I think I originally meant it to mean that I was wired - as in connected to the internet - and that I was a nerd.I created it to use on Yahoo! after other id's using a combination of my intials, first name, and last name were unavailable. Even my nickname wasn't available. Actually, I think I had my
