We left the Roomba on its own to vacuum again tonight. I had to rescue it from under the table once since the chairs were playing pong with it. For revenge the Roomba like a diabolic, mechanical dog decided to eat the curtains again. Who needs pets? Bad Roomba.
Jeremiah was a Bullfrog, Lucifer is a Cat
Whether I like it or not my daughters are big fans of the Disney princess world. I am realizing that most things around here are whether I like it or not. Anyway, the have seen Cinderella 1, 2 and 3 multiple times. Tonight they were telling I and Callie that they learned about Lucifer today…
Adult Breakfast Cereal
No not ‘adult’ I mean grown up. These kinds of cereal are easy to recognize in the store. They are on the top shelf well away from where the kids can yell, YUCK! They are typically boring – no shapes, no colors, no blatant sugar coating. I say blatant because like so many guilty adult…
Walmart Continues Conquest
There is a Walmart in Idaho Falls where I grew up. A few years ago my dad told me that it is the only Walmart that has a fishing pro shop. I was never a fisherman but there are some world class fishing areas around that area and so a local small business market was…

Framework Problems Will Ruin Your Day
I created a code generator that writes all the of the code that connects ThePlanCollection.com website with its database. It is kind of like ActiveRecord that makes Rails so useful but not nearly as elegant. Someday I will release it as open source, but I am probably to late given all the other code generators…
A Gazillion House Plans on ThePlanCollection.com
I updated ThePlanCollection.com last night. I must admit that updating when you are tired is not always the best idea, but I figure everyone else is probably asleep so there isn’t really a better time. We don’t really have a gazillion house plans, but sometime it feels like it and being able to manage all…
The Flower Shop In Logan
My brother and sister in law bought the flower shop in Logan (Utah). It is always scary to start up a new business even when you are buying an existing one. My brother is even learning how to build web pages (he is the ‘webmaster’). After all these years of me trying to convince him…
The Roomba Ends Christmas
Christmas is frequently heralded at our home by the purchase of poinsettias. They are beautiful flowers that originated in Mexico and which really have no business hanging out in the snow and cold of Utah. We buy new ones every year to help support the local economy and because we can’t keep them alive for…
