Cuddly passed away this morning

Cuddly was my other hamster.  He outlived Tyler Palko by a few months.  We got them a day apart from the pet store.  I knew he was almost ready to go.  He wasn’t eating too well the past few days.  I found him the morning before he was stiff halfway out of his igloo.  My son named him Cuddly when he was 4 years old.  He lived about 3 years.  He was a gray hamster. 2 months ago

random thoughts

I need to be an ipv6 specialist… we are about 2 years from running out of IPs in ip4.  Read, read, read, write, blog, experiment…   With wifi phones seeming to catch on and skype, why pay for a cell phone + contract?  Phone companies are losing land line subscribers to VOIP companies like Vonage.  Their cell phone businesses will go down the same way to wifi VOIP.  Cell phones still have a big gap, but I think wifi will overtake cell phones in about 5 years.  Why have voice networks anyway?  Seems wasteful when data networks carry voice just fine. 3 months ago

Goodbye TP

I found my buddy Tyler P, the hamster dead yesterday in his igloo.  He wasn’t looking too well the last few weeks.  He wasn’t moving around much.  He lived a long life, over 4 years, and I enjoyed taking care of him and feeding him.  He is survived by his room mate Cuddly.  We  buried him at the tree line in the back yard and put a rock over his grave.  I wish I had a picture of him to post, but he was a yellow and white hamster. 4 months ago

Ride to Richmond, IN

I did a ride starting this morning to Indiana.  I took 36 West all the way to Indiana, then went south to Richmond, to a Harley dealer there.  Then I returned home via I-70.  It was nice to get in a little trip during my week vacation. 1 year ago

Updates

Got Vonage a couple of days ago and hooked it up.  Very nice, and now I have no external phone lines that someone could connect to and make long distance calls to Japan.  Long distance is unlimited anyway.

I am doing some mods to my motorcycle also.  I am off next week, so I am hoping to spend some time riding and wrenching on it.
