It would appear, on the Surface……

Sooooo, I owe my wife a serious apology for my attitude last night.  I have to admit that I had a rather non-Christian reaction to a disappointment I was experiencing. I recently had my Microsoft Surface die on me.  I couldn’t get it to power on at all.  I suspect that it had somehow overheated Read More…

Dear mom and dad

It’s been 6 and 7 years since you left.  I had thought that you not being here would be easier after this much time.  But it isn’t. I can’t tell you how many times I wish I could pick up the phone and call you and share with you how my day went.  Or to Read More…

Arg….

Head, meet desk (or other similarly hard surface).  Never before have I had such a frustrating experience with a pair of computers.  If I joined the computers to Azure AD domain, I couldn’t get the InTune software for application deployment installed.  If I did the InTune software forst, I couldn’t get them to join the Read More…

and this is why I love technology

for a guy who works IT and with technology all day, this is probably my most anti-tech day ever. My phone locked up last night, making me think that the battery hadn’t charged at all.  And since it’s my alarm, I WAY overslept.  needless to say, rushed out of the house this morning after feeding Read More…

well they should be fun

on the Twitterverse

Shameless self promotion here… Follow me on Twitter @MandoKySoto Mando = Mandalorian.  I’m wanting to join the Mandalorian Mercs Costume Club (meaning I REALLY need to get on with working on my kit.  If you aren’t familiar with who they are, it’s a charity organization that encourages members to create Star Wars themed costumes based Read More…

I’m voting for…….

Sorry, but I’m not telling.  I really don’t feel like engaging in a lot of political discourse, debating endlessly the ins and out, rights and wrongs, dos and don’ts of who to vote for.  And I’m not writing this to convince anyone to vote for a specific candidate.  Honestly, in this election, I can say Read More…

Patience

Now is one of those times in my life when I REALLY need the patience of a saint.  I really want to be somewhere else today, being with a specific set of people that just make my heart soar.  And yet I can’t.  Not until tomorrow.  I know God will provide the patience I need.  Read More…
