My favorite use for an iPod Touch (so far)

So far with the iPod Touch I’ve checked the weather, stocks, browsed the web, played music, watched video (found a nice recipe to use Nero for that). However the most entertainment I’ve had with it so far is to watch the names of WiFi hotspots that come into and go out of range while someone […]

Grilled filet mignon and tater tots

That was tonight’s dinner. I tried it ont he grill but I think without the meat thermometer it wasnt as warm as I would have liked it. It was cooked all the way through and it wasn’t rare, but the connective tissue hadn’t broken down enough. The tater tots were fine of course (new extra […]
