Save The Planet & Save Some Money: Refillable Ink Cartridges

Most of us have a printer at home, and if you're like me you HATE having to buy new ink cartridges.  Not only are they expensive, but they're usually a rip off also.  Here's a few tips I've learned to help save $$$ and help the environment at the same time.

iPad Caricature - by Brandon Allen

My friend Brandon Allen (www.brand-allen.com) found a fun new use for his iPad. Hester and I went down one weekend to watch him in action. I filmed while Hester modeled and he took the footage and put this video together.

His video got mentioned on ww.PadGaget.com

The Kind Old Woman Who Made Me Smile

Before you scroll down to the bottom of the page to view the picture, you really should read this entire post. I think you'll appreciate the photo more once you've read the whole thing.

I came down to Missouri several years ago to help my cousin with his alternative fuel company. Every day I would drive to my cousins shop for work and at least once or twice a month, I would see a little old lady walking rain or shine. She obviously lived somewhere near by because she was always coming or going in my neighborhood. What struck me most about her was she was always dressed in fairly "hip" clothing for her age. Everything usually coordinated and matched, and was always crisp and ironed. Often times she wore a cute little hat that matched what ever outfit she was wearing. Aside from that, she always pulled a small little cart which contained what ever she was taking on her journey for the day. I guess she always caught my eye because not many people walk these days. We all drive cars, or bike, or take some mode of public transportation. I guess with my love for alternative fuels, I was really impressed by this elderly woman who would walk everywhere she went. Perhaps her walking might explain why she was so skinny and fit. All of these little observations managed to put a smile on my face every time I saw her.

Hello World :)

Well, I did it, I started a blog...

I've thought about starting one about a dozen times or more over the years but I just never got around to it. For those of you who know me, you'll know that I love to tell stories. If you know that much, you probably also know that when I start to tell a story, it's hard to shut me up. Well, now I can tell my stories, and those that want to listen/read can, and those that don't, well... they're just missing out!
I'm going to call this blog layout Version 1.0. It's not really 100% what I want, but it'll get me started for now.
