It's filled with the typical tiki decorations (why do people insist on making any beach area look like the South Pacific?), pool table, old stand up arcade games, and drunks (or at least people on their well on their way to being drunk.) ... If I was at a resort, I'd probably be bored by this point, but here, even with the work involved in getting a camp site put together and maintained, camping seems to be enjoyable and not nearly as boring as there is always something to fix/clean up/prepare/etc. -JT Continue reading →

I am NOT a camper….Day 2

JT — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 01:46:24 +0000

Why, oh why, do campsites insist on installing an oscillating ceiling fan beneath a light in a bathroom? Random flashbacks of 70s slasher flicks went through my head as I prepared for the morning at the KOA campsite in Sugarloaf Key, Fl. I am not a camper, clearly. The wife decided with local friends in the Florida area to go on a week camping trip for the family summer vacation this year. "Sure!

Of course, none of this was going through my head at 7am standing at the urinal as a large burly man came into the bathroom. No. I'm thinking this is where I'm going to die.

It took me a week to remember but I did remember that about two years ago I bought a USB Bluetooth dongle along with a bluetooth headset. ...

Apple MMS = a Kick in the teeth

JT — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 00:57:37 +0000

According to Apple, the 2G's hardware can't handle MMS, yet, if you jailbreak your phone, plenty of MMS loving. Oh and to add insult to injury, at work my cube neighbor has her 2G jailbroken and with her TMobile service, she is able to get full bar reception in our part of the IT dungeon. Continue reading →
