Wow! It is hard to believe but in the few short months that I have had this blog I have now done 100 posts.
That is amazing for something that is just a side hobby. Really this is just a place where I through things that are interesting to me all up in one place.
Anyway, thanks for stopping by to celebrate with me!

There has been a lot of press in the last few months about how Walmart is determined to “go green”. I think it is really cool because Walmart has the influence to make it happen and rally others to do the same.
Their latest announcement is that they have set the goal to sell one compact fluorescent bulb to each of their 100 million regular customers. They estimate that they can have a significant impact on energy use in the US.

I have about 10 of these bulbs in my house for the energy savings and the fact that they last 3-4 times longer then a standard bulb. The florescent 60 watt equivalent only uses 14 watts.
That is a big difference when you multiply it by 10 at my house. Also, the florescent 60 watt seems to be brighter then a standard bulb while not being as harsh.

Man, it was raining hard this morning before I came to work. I looked up on the news how long it was going to last and found that we had only had the first wave of 2 that was coming our way and the second one was bigger!
The thing about this storms was that it was dumping about 5-6 inches of rain an hour. That means that we got at least 9 inches of rain this morning from the time that I woke up to the time that I left for work.
The cool thing about that is that I should not need to water the lawn this weekend

You may have seem my post - Christian Family Blog - My Blog about Raising My Family as Christians - in which it was my goal to dislodge a atheist web site for being in the number one position for the term “Christian Family Blog”.
Well in 2 days I succeeded.
The above mention post is now number one for the term “Christian Family Blog” and I am pretty sure that in the next few days that this post will probably bump it down to the number 3 spot.
Why would I want to do this? The reason is simple. If people are really looking for a blog about a Christian family they do not want to find an atheists web site. Just today I have gotten several hits on this site and my The Abundant Life web site from people who were looking for a Christian family blog.
I hope more Christians step up and get their sites to the top so people can find what they are really looking for.

This is sad what happens to this guy. I bet he thought it was a good idea at the time.

Since my wife proclaimed that she was going to start to loose weight I have noticed that she is not taking me up on my offers of ice cream or Mochas at Baskin Robins.
The other thing that I noticed is that she pulled our George Foreman Grill back out and has been using that to cook dinner.
I know the reason that she is doing that - with the George Foreman Grill you get a fraction of the fat and grease that you do when cooking in a pan. All the grease just falls in between the grooves and away from the meat.
The coolest things about it is that the food actually taste better. It is nice to see my wife get serious about all of us eating healthier.

Wow! I actually made a dollar today from Adsense.
The reason why this is such a big deal is that before today I had only made $5 over the last month or so.
That is really cool.
The thing is that it came from this site too (I have several sites under the same Adsense account).
I really think that is has to do with the new ad style that I went with from Ontok. Their system is not as intrusive as regular Adsense blogs right in front of your face and I think that makes a difference.
I came a great coupon web site for just about every online retailer that you can think of. The site is couponchief.com.
I have been looking around for a 19″ LCD monitor and had found one for a good price at buy.com for a Samsung that is almost exactly like the one that I have at work.
I was waiting to get some more extra cash before buying it but now my wait is over.
I went to the buy.com section of their site and found a coupon that will give me an additional discount off the already low price that I found.
Sweet!
I will finally be able to get rid of the huge 21″ CRT monitor that is over taking my desk.

I had just got done removing all the Adsense from this blog and my idano.net blog when I came across the Ontok Highlighter.
The Ontok Highlighter automatically creates links on your pages that if clicked or hovered over will pop up a set of ads that relate to the highlighted keyword.
Well this is my first post on this site.
The previous posts you see where imported from my danmasters.wordpress.com blog which I pretty much abandoning at this point.
From the previous posts you can see that there is not a set topic here, it is just a place for me to talk about what I see around the world. Some of it may be of interest and some not. I like it though and that’s all that really matters right
