Daylight Savings
Now that Daylight Saving is gone for this year, just what do I do with the extra hour I gained? I know for sure I can’t save it like in a savings account otherwise I’d save a weeks worth then take a week off! However, Daylight Savings time may be going through some changes soon….
For The Birds

Video games and their supporting equipment and software are a Billion Dollar industry! That is amazing but when you think about it it’s very predictable.
