In an effort to extend my idealism to the kids I attempted to give them the Linux operating system instead of Windows. I figured I have a bunch of old games for kids, there are bound to be plenty of ways to make them work…
Wrong! Of the seven games I tried, only one […]
As usual I got another flat. So, I pull the tube out and inspect for damage…nothing. I double check the tube to see if it has slime. I pull out the valve stem, and yes there is slime. But, there is no sign of it sealing a hole anywhere. […]
So I picked up a glass cutter from my dad’s house to fix the broken glass in my front door. Dad and I used do some stained glass work when I was a kid. Fortunately I had some glass leftover from the dual pane window replacements in the house.

As it turns out, this is a literal setting. Only hibbits.net forwards, […]
Free is a problem for me. Sadly this is only step one of the 12 step process. I often think of it as the famous Peanuts scenario where Lucy offers Charlie Brown the opportunity to kick the football. Lucy and the football are the football, and I am Charlie Brown thinking, “This […]
Wow, what do you say in your first blog entry…
Let’s start with this posting. The goal was to have my own website, with my nickname, blog, pictures, etc. My friends urged me to use Blogger, but I was intent on having my own site on a hosting service. Against their recommendations I […]
