I ran out of rice this week. I always hate buying rice, because there are over two dozen brands to choose from. I asked a friend for advice, and ended up ordering rice online!

I was asked to present three of my favorite K-Pop songs, and explain the story behind each selection. It was really...

GEEK ALERT - THIS POST IS ABOUT OLD COMPUTERSAn unusual set of circumstances found me needing to ressurect a VERY OLD computer that has been in storage for 5 years. And it was already too old 5 years ago! The brief and simplified story: there is a very special (expensive) circuit card in this computer that I need to use, and it won't work in a modern computer. Let me introduce the Gateway 2000...
