Buying Drinks on Birthdays [The Cranking Widgets Blog]
First, just let me offer my most humble apologies for not posting for nigh unto 3 weeks. Between home computer troubles, family obligations and life in general, this blog fell victim to what us geeks might call a “process deadlock”.
Some good news, though - last night I placed an order for a brand new [...]
Review this Blog for a Chance at Cash [The Cranking Widgets Blog]
Since starting this little blog about 7 months ago, I’ve learned quite a bit about what makes a good blog (and what doesn’t). My reader base has grown a great deal lately, something I’m thrilled to death about.

Why I Sometimes Choose Living Over Sleeping [The Cranking Widgets Blog]
I’ll tell you right now, I rarely get enough sleep (assuming “enough” sleep is 8 hours per night). On the average night, I’ll get 5-6 hours of sleep, and sometimes it’s less than that. And It’s not because I can’t sleep - I hardly ever have trouble falling asleep. No, whenever I [...]
