Got a repair guy here to fix my pinball machine. He's plugging away at the busted piece of circuitry.

Regular readers of phoneboy.com know that I also write for two of Creative Weblogging's blogs: The Gadgets Weblog and The VoIP Weblog. One of my annoyances with those blogs was that their RSS feeds were not full feeds. My participation on Vox has went way down since they switched away from full feeds. I've also stopped reading sites that didn't have full RSS feeds for specifically that reason.
A day or so ago, one of my fellow CW bloggers noticed that the RSSfeeds for CW blogs had switched to full feeds. It turned out to be amistake, but given the positive reaction from the editors, they aregoing with it for the time being.
If you haven't checked out my work on The Gadgets Weblog or The VoIPWeblog because of the lack of full RSS feeds, give it a look and let meknow what you think!

As I've written before, I am very happy to no longer be in the housing market.This article on Northwest Cable News describes the housing market in Seattle proper, but it is indicative of the housing market in the region. It's not pretty--if you're a seller anyway.

Despite George Snuffleupagus's direct question about how he might make the case against Hillary Clinton, he explains why he's the right candidate for the job. He didn't diss the competition per-se, but he is highly critical of how everyone else is taking a wait and see approach to Iraq.
I can't decide if this focus on a single issue is going to help or hurt Gov. Richardson's chances for winning the Democratic nomination. It is a clear difference, for sure.

Well I can finally say that we only own one house again. What a relief!
Friday we signed the papers. It looked like we were going to owe a few hundred dollars--yes we did have to take significantly less than we wanted to sell for. However, that ended up being a matter of the title company not having the most up-to-date numbers. Instead we got a few hundred dollars back. Or will once they send the check.
On Monday, everything funded, which means their money hit our banks. The wife brought up the keys and the garage door openers to the new owners. And that was pretty much that.
The old house, she had her good points and bad. It was a little odd walking through the old house while it was empty. A house that we had watched being built from the ground up and had lived in for four years. But now it's someone else's house to make memories in.
Meanwhile, we have our own "new" place to make memories in. And I can rest easy knowing we only have one mortgage to worry about. It is a much bigger mortgage than we had on the old house, but we'll manage.
