I love this netbook. I have had mine for about 3 weeks and while it will never be my “go to” notebook computer (that role is reserved for my MacBook Pro) it is so light and easy to carry, that I find myself using it quite a bit of the time I need to catch up on RSS feeds, watch Slingbox, or just do a little bit of web surfing or email. → Read the rest

I think I am finally started to get it. Since August, I have been waking up almost automatically at either 4:00 a.m., 4:30 a.m., or 5:00 a.m. Even days when I have the rare luxury of sleeping in, 6:00 a.m. seems to be the latest I can sleep to and even then, I likely wake up at 4:30 a.m. → Read the rest

A Few Changes

I made a minor change to the desktop theme — really important stuff like changing the picture of the mouse to an Apple mouse and the color of the coffee. Truthfully, I just changed the theme installation, I didn’t really do any of the design stuff. I also added ScribeFire to my Firefox as an extension.

Few Things Better Than Fall Golf

Written by David Schlottman on October 14th, 2008. Leave a comment

T and I went golfing this afternoon in the crisp autumn air. Trees were dressed in beautiful reds, golds, and yellows. We played quickly — maybe that means we were hitting well — and aside from the usual bad putting we were both on top of our games. Best of all, I was able to spend time with my son!

New Fad Diet

I added a new Favicon to the blog. For the uninitiated (that’s the normal person in life), a favicon is a little icon that shows up to the right of the URL address in a browser for a particular website. My favicon is based on a vanity caricature I had done of myself several years ago. → Read the rest

Endless Weekends

Every remember as a kid wishing that the weekend would last forever? Especially if you dreaded Monday morning and the start of a new school week. Or maybe as an adult — dread is too strong a word for most cases — you just felt a little edgy on Sunday night knowing that the “grind” was waiting for you the next morning. → Read the rest

Java addicts…

Is coffee a good thing? I didn’t care much for it for many years. I tried to turn myself into a coffee drinker but could never quite acquire the taste. Then my tastes buds either died or I trained them to enjoy the taste and now I have become an addict! First it was black only, that’s manly, but I gave into my upset stomach and started using cream.

This is my first post to my new blog, Quawkle. I am in a learning phase with WordPress so likely my first posts will be rather random, simple, and quite boring. My apologies in advance!

Kurt Warner: Good deeds are Warner’s focus

Written by David Schlottman on . Leave a comment

Warner has one hand on the steering wheel and the other buried in a carton of french fries when the conversation turns to how he’s perceived. He knows what some people think — that he’s a do-no-wrong perfectionist who doesn’t curse, doesn’t drink and lives this straight-laced, holier-than-thou life.

And in a way, he understands. That’s what happens when you talk about Jesus, mention God or explain your selfless ways by professing your faith.
