I love how easy WordPress makes blogging. Once the software is up and running on your server you can simply add posts without touching HTML code. The trick is to get it set up right the first time, and an important part of installing it is choosing the right webhost. For that reason I have compared the [...]

Fewer and fewer kids seem to go trick-or-treating in my neighborhood these days, but Halloween can still be a great holiday for autistic kids and equally stressful for the parents.  Dealing with strangers, unusual sights, sounds, tastes, and textures all make for a great learning experience.  Preparation for the holiday actually begins a month earlier when [...]

You can easily create an AdSense block in your posts like the one to the right here.  All it requires is one plug-in and simple formatting.  The size of the block is determined by the AdSense code, and this method works for both images and text.  The plug-in that works best is AdSense-Deluxe.  Don’t believe the [...]

I double clicked my Wootalyzer shortly after 1:00 am and the alarms began to sound.  Alert! Alert!  Breakout the Christmas lists and see who needs a gift.  Specifically, who needs a Valet 9104 4-Sensor Tire Pressure Monitoring System with Display for $59.99,  which sells elsewhere for $208.00.  Nobody?  Damn, no woot! for me. For those of you who [...]

Battlefield 2 ranks as one of my favorite games ever.  I give it top ratings for graphics, gameplay, controls, and strategy.  That is not to say the game is without fault.  A lack of updates, and releasing expansion packs, special forces, and 2142 at the expense of the original playerbase all hurt.  Hacks and exploits still [...]

As the parent of two children in special education aged 3 and 6, I know how difficult shopping for kids with special needs can be.  Remember, every kid is different.  The gifts on this page are things I know at least one of my kids would enjoy receiving on Christmas.  Best to check with the [...]

I know I’m not the only person that spends too much time on the computer.   Even though I walk an hour a day as part of my fitness routine, there are many times I am gaming or blogging where I sit at my desk for hours on end.   Wouldn’t it be great to combine my [...]
