My love of insects on this blog continues. But we’re going to take a break from moths today. One of my friends needed some help moving a refrigerator and while doing so we found this Cross Orbweaver spider (Araneus diadematus) hanging in a web off the front of a house.  The photos included in this post don’t…

Perhaps better known as the Rosy Maple Moth, this moth was just outside our apartment building door. My friend Chris just showed up for dinner and Game 4 of the NBA Finals and immediately he said there was a cool looking moth outside.  I grabbed my camera and bolted for the door. On my finger,…

Some time before the turn of this last century I began to pay much more attention to my writing style in everyday communications.  My email correspondence needed more attention to detail, editing, and focus.  This is something I’m still striving to get better at, but some times the constant ticking of the clock inhibits any progress on…

Why, oh, why did I ever stop reading John "RobotJohnny" Martz’s blog?  Somehow in my efforts to slim down my number of feeds, his site got the axe, and hasn’t returned – until today. John recently redrew his mother’s entire yearbook from 1968.  Or, at least the portraits therein.  I like how he described his…

I love watching the trends of the traffic on my blog; even if said traffic is not that high. In fact, I think it is much easier to monitor my site’s traffic trends then it is for us at Viddler because I’m able to keep a much closer eye on even the smallest of trends.…

Over the last few days TUG.n has been down. However, I’ve been experiencing problems with email for months, and I never even knew it. I’ve had everyone from clients to my mother telling me that I did not get their emails. My main personal email address is currently cdevroe(at)theubergeeks.net and has been for 5 years.…

The warm evening sunlight shone through the shades and cast patterns on the office furniture. Eight padded chairs with wooden arm-rests lined the white walls. A small round table with a green leafy plant on it set in the corner with some assorted magazines that were so neatly stacked you could tell no one ever…

This was originally posted on TUG in March 2004. My wife has a problem. An addiction if you will. Not to pain killers, alcohol or any drugs for that matter, but rather to deals. Allow me to explain. My wife’s skill set is a three-pronged sword. First, she is very good at locating ‘deals’ for…

Most of us like nice, new things. Whenever something new comes out we ogle at its features, wonder at how we could use them to our advantage, and then eventually buy the product. But how many of us take full advantage of the things we already own? I’m sure some of you out there do…

[ad#Adsense: Horiz 468] Another moth and not to be confused with the huge moth that was on our porch in May of this year. Mike and I were headed to lunch at [Lunkerz Deli](http://local.yahoo.com/details?id=12105476&stx=&csz=Clifford PA) and Mike spotted this fella on the porch. Large Tolype – Tolype velleda I had to do some extensive searching…

Last week I was 192.2 pounds, this week I’m 192.0 pounds. Am I discouraged? Not in the least, listen to the week I had. Tuesday of last week, weigh in day, Eliza and I drove to New Jersey to visit with some family. We at mall food-court food, and Friendly’s Ice Cream. Then on the…

This is just a real quick update, as I am going to wait until week ten for another photo and an update of greater detail. We went camping for five days, we had to drive a friend back and forth to Newark, New Jersey, and we had a little shindig in said friend’s honor prior…

Eliza and I had a really nice weekend. The weather, although a bit hot for my taste, couldn’t have been much better. On Saturday we drove up to Owego, New York with my mother-in-law and Eliza’s two aunts for Strawberry Festival. We had a great time, got to see some cool stuff, and eat some…

Eliza and I love to cook at home. As Eliza says "The clean up is the worst part.". Apart from that, there is nothing I do not enjoy about cooking, and eating, at home. It is cheaper, generally better for you, and is all around more fulfilling. Not too long ago Eliza picked up Rachel…

Grizzly Man has been talked about a lot [on the Internets recently](http://technorati.com/search/Grizzly Man) (partially due to the fact that it was on TV for all to watch). My opinion, to be as straight-forward and honest as I know how, is that Timothy Treadwell did everything wrong. As altruistic as he was in the beginning, his…
