It looks as though I will not be getting a new cell phone any time soon. My old cell phone service is scheduled to be turned off on September 9th.
Those of you who do not know my home phone number should contact me soon via email or by calling my cell phone in order to [...]

Brad, my dad, and I put new brakes on my truck this afternoon. Only took about an hour, not couting driving to the auto parts store to see if the bad rotor could be machined. They said it couldn't so I was out $70 for that plus $20 for the brake pads. Not bad [...]

Pascale Soleil of both2and.com pointed out in a comment to my review of a few RSS readers that it wasn't very clear whether my site had an RSS feed of its own.
Indeed it does. It is syndicated in both RSS 1.0 and RSS 0.91. I altered revjim.net to include the required link tags as specified [...]

I'm considering going to the dfwblogs.com cocktail event this evening at the XPO Lounge.
It's good to meet new people. It's good to have a good time, especially on a weekday. It'll be nice to meet some of the faces that write some of the things that I read on a almost daily basis.
