Renovations
Our house has a fireplace. It has actually always had a fireplace but it has been covered up by an entertainment center that the people who lived there before us built. We have now ripped said entertainment center off to reveal a fireplace that needs some work. We were aware before getting into the project. Here is the sad part. We tore the entertainment center down on Monday, hoping...
Read MoreRandom Fact #10
I haven’t done one of these in a while so I thought this would be appropriate. Did you know that: If you Google “brian casey” blog that my website shows up first in the search (as of this post, anyway). How did I find this out? Let me tell you. I was trying to figure out how people might be able to search for my blog via Google. I was trying several things and not coming...
Read MoreVacation!!
I love spur of the moment vacations. A couple weeks ago (that is spur of the moment for us) my brother and I were talking and he asked when we could come up to Dallas to see them. I told him I wasn’t sure but asked when would be good for them. He told me that the weekend coming up wasn’t good but the weekend after was. I checked with my wife and, bada-bing, we went. Here is...
Read MoreIncreased Baldness in Females Linked to (MM) Warming
A recent study shows a link between baldness in females and man-made global warming said an unnamed scientist with the Female Baldness and Man Made Global Warming Research Center. The study has yet to be released to the public but, personally, this author couldn’t agree with it more. “Over the last several decades we have seen an increase in the number of women who are experiencing...
Read MoreLet the Debate Begin
The Earth is warming, isn’t it? Our carbon emissions are causing this warming, right? As much as some would want us to think that there is a consensus on this topic there is not. More and more we see dissenters rise up only to be labeled and dismissed. There is no room for debate when that is exactly what should be happening. I am no scientist so I do not claim to have any...
Read MoreThe Dark Knight
So, the weekend has finally come and gone and I have seen the movie I have been anticipating for a long while. If all you read is the first couple lines of this blog post, know this, The Dark Knight delivers in a huge way. Also know that it is a marathon of a movie. What I mean by that is it is long (two and a half hours without previews), it is intense, it is dark, and it is awesome. Let...
Read MoreNew Desktop
This is something I have been wanting to play with for a while. I have been aware that there are many applications meant to enhance the desktop of your computer. I know what most of you are thinking, “Brian, I have never thought of this.” I know, I am weird. But as weird as I am I really like the way it turned out. Check it out! I am now using a little program called...
Read MoreDiet
Have you ever heard someone say (or said yourself probably), “I am going on a diet. I need to lose some weight.” I have said those words before. As a person who is very aware of words and their meanings it would behoove me to talk about what the word diet means. Yes, it can mean specific foods designed to improve health in some way but the more traditional meaning is as...
Read MoreiPhone 2.0
Here it comes folks. Something I have been looking forward to for a while now. The new iPhone firmware that will allow people to download applications to their phone. The new iPhone 3G is also releasing today but I won’t be picking that up. I have decided to be happy with the iPhone I have for now. For those of you who know me, this is a big deal. I usually jump on new...
