Tonight, I picked up a pair of Shimano MD86 bike shoes.  I’ve wanted to try clipless pedals for some time, and have had the pedals for almost a year, but just never got around to finding shoes. I found this particular pair on clearance at Scheels.  Google Shopper (on my phone) said that list price [...]

Today is Becky and I’s 5th Anniversary!  It seems hard to believe that it’s been 5 years already, but they’ve been anything but slow. It’s been over 1800 days; We’ve been tens of thousands of miles together, seen the world, traveled by animals of all sorts, and generally had a blast doing it all. I’ve [...]

Since I started my document-scanning project, I’ve been backing the scanned data up to my local file server, manually at first, and then with Xcopy.  That lead to a few problems when documents would get moved, so I started purging the backup copy each time and doing a full copy instead.  That worked fine (gigabit [...]

I stumbled across this post on my friend Richard’s page tonight, indicating that he’s also “working on the fitness”, as it were.  I also have been talking with Ron from the office who’s recently kicked his weightlifting routine into high gear.  I’m not sure if it’s the warmer weather or what, but it seems that [...]

Today marks the 4th time that I’ve done 6 sets of 10 reps each, and it’s getting markedly easier.  I find that in early sets, I’m not nearly as “done” at the end of each set as I was just a week ago.  To that end, I’m going to start collapsing the reps into larger [...]

On Saturday, I headed out to Blake’s new house to help him install the conduit that will eventually contain low voltage wiring of all sorts.  His conduit system is a mix of 3/4″ and 1-1/4″ PVC conduit attached to open-back (Low Voltage) boxe.  Some of the conduit is run point-to-point (to a central “media closet” [...]

The other day, I found myself doin some “Vanity Googling”, that is, searching for my own name, and seeing what comes up.  I found that there’s at least a few “Kevin Fusselman”s out there, and that lots of websites (mostly brick and mortar types of things) have a hard time telling me from myself since [...]

Monday night, our aging Dish Network DVR612′s hard drive died.  It started with error code #311 when trying to access recorded shows, and popped up complaining about the drive when I restarted the box.  Old hardware dying, however, isn’t the interesting part.

I know I’m usually not into “social networking” types of things, but I’ve recently expanded my use of Twitter.  I initially set it up to get email notifications of Dreamhost downtimes (which they publish only via Twitter), but have been branching out lately.  I started by installing a WordPress module that tweets headlines (which Dan [...]
