I wrote a blog post yesterday about daylight savings. Check it out if you haven’t read it yet. So my wife reads the posts laughs at a few of the items in the list (especially the spending time with the special someone since she knows I’m referring to her) and then proceeds to ask me (for the second time mind you) if I came up with this list myself! Preposterous I tell you!!! Well I guess I should be flattered since she meant well and it was supposed to be a compliment. So I’ll take it as such, but it was funny that she did it almost twice in a row (She didn’t think I wrote this one either). I love you wife!

Chris Harrison twittered about a site called When is Daylight Savings? I thought I would pass along the info since we all forget at some time about when the new daylight savings time is. (In case you don’t want to go the site it is this Sun Nov. 2nd, 2008 at 3am in the morning you set your clock back to 2am). Fall back spring forward is an easy way to remember how to set the clock.
Just for fun here a few things to do with your extra hour this year or just because:
- Check the batteries in your smoke detectors or replace them
- Read about daylight savings Seize the Daylight: The Curious and Contentious Story of Daylight Saving Time or Daylight saving time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Replace a regular light bulb with a new CFL light bulb
- Make special time with that special someone
- Maybe backup your computer data with mozy or jungle disk
- Suggest something for me to write about (in the sidebar or here)
- Catch up on google reader, unread blog list or a good book (reading is good for the brain!)
- Put the summer clothes away and pull out that winter jacket. It’s cold out there! (currently 39 degrees here)
- Learn about GTD and get the book
- Prepare a Christmas wishlist so your family will have something to get you
And finally have a good nights sleep!

Wouldn’t it be nice if there was an easy way to get a few extra dollars in your pocket each month to help with high gas prices for your car, truck or suv? Well if you haven’t yet gotten a Discover Card now is the time to do so.
Just this month I have gotten over $60 cash back from just using it for our everyday family purchases (diapers and formula are expensive!)
Now the most important part when getting a cash back credit card is not to spend the cash back! They try and get you to purchase more things which means you spend more money instead of just getting the cash back. Now if those items you purchase are necessary items then by all means go for it, but most of the retailers that they list you could do without.
So if I can’t spend it what do I do with it? Redeem the cash back into your discover account and now you have those extra few dollars for those high gas prices!
You can also get a Discover card called the Open Road card that gives you more cash back for gas and auto purchases than the other Discover cards.
So if you spend money (and who doesn’t) or your a small business owner and want to get a few dollars back for doing what you would do anyway click on one of the links above to get your very own card today.

Getting a letter from the IRS is never fun, getting a letter from the IRS saying you owe money is even less fun. Over a week ago I received a letter stating that I owed thousands of dollars in back taxes, fees and interest from over a year ago. I must say that I was in shock since this was the first year we had used an accountant for our taxes and I had not done my own. I guess I was so happy I didn’t have to do them that I didn’t even bother looking over them at all.

“According
to the theory of aerodynamics, the bumble bee is unable to fly. This is
because the size, weight and shape of its body in relation to the total
wing spread make flying impossible. But the bumble bee, being ignorant
of these profound scientific truths, goes ahead and flies anyway and
manages to make a little honey every day.”

Yes. I know what you are thinking. It’s a new years resolution that will be short lived, but I think I’ve come to the point where I’m sick of being sick and tired. So I set out to find a few articles on getting back in shape without having to pay alot of money to the gym. The consensus is if I can get 20 min or more of intense cardio 3 times a week a could be loosing fat and staying fit. Here are some of the links I found that helped out:
So there is no more excuses for us geek not to do something about our health. Get out there and get moving.
