Just What the Doctor Ordered

by Scott Schroeder on April 30, 2008

As I had mentioned in one of my previous Twitter ramblings, I just took both of my English Springer Spaniels to the veterinarian for their yearly check-up. All in all, the dogs were said to be healthy but, from the number that the scale reported, Beaux seems to be (following in my foot steps and) adding on a few unnecessary pounds. Compared to his brother Luke, who weighed in at 60lbs, Beaux topped the charts at 70lbs.

In addition to helping Beaux trim down that waist line, the vet suggested cleaning their teeth a bit. To do so, he recommended using the t/d canine food from Science Diet and informed me that I could either cut it in with their current food or simply give it to them throughout the day as treats. I chose the latter because this t/d Science Diet food comes in relatively big size bites/pieces so they work perfect as treats.

It’s practically May now so it may be a little late for new year’s resolutions but, I plan to help Beaux knock off some weight (by taking him and his brother out more regularly throughout the day/night) and I plan to improve the health of their teeth (by using the recommended food/products). If I am lucky, this discipline will carry over in to my personal life and will help me to lose a few while promoting my wellness and overall productivity. Off we go!

First it was MySpace, then it was Facebook, now it’s Twitter. What’s next?

by Scott Schroeder on April 19, 2008

Well, for anyone looking to be a part of that new fad, Twitter is the new kid on the block and, as of late, has been totally blowing up the spot. Over the past couple of weeks I’ve gotten a plethora of emails regarding Twitter activity and/or new followers on Twitter (along with a whole slew of spammy blog comments but I’ll cover that in a different post).

I recall last year when FaceBook was hot and FaceBook apps were the talk of the conferences and geek gatherings (kind of like how MySpace was 2 years prior, minus the apps talk of course). Once Twitter becomes “played-out”, where will we run? What will we talk/chat about? None the less, I’m (still) digging Twitter and it’s convenience of use, accessibility and functionality.

Fresh Red, White and Purple Roses from My Rock Garden

Roses in Mason Jar

… when you have to trim down those Las Vegas rock garden roses (that were in your front yard when you moved in), sometimes you have to clip back a few worth tossing into a vacant mason jar

Beware: Restoring Your iPhone Erases All Your Data Since Your Last Sync :(

by Scott Schroeder on March 24, 2008

If you choose to restore your iPhone to it’s original format, you will lose all the calls, contacts, text messages, notes, songs and videos (and email password(s) ) that you have “placed” on your iPhone since the last time you synced your phone with iTunes. That’s right, you won’t be able to retrieve that number that you saved in your phone at lunch because you just restored your iPhone a couple of seconds ago. And, the list goes on, people.. what you thought you had, isn’t there (any more). You better watch your data, buddy

Another Daylight Saving Time, Another Hour Adjusted Acordingly

by Scott Schroeder on March 9, 2008

daylight saving time Just a friendly reminder that is is, indeed, March 9 (the second Sunday in March), which means that it is time again to push those clocks one hour forward (Spring forward). Whether you want to call it daylight saving or daylight savings, longer days and more light are in the horizon and pretty soon there will be April showers in accordance with those blossoming May flowers. Brace yourself!
