How to you put pictures in this blog anyway?

I thought that hood ornaments were a lost art! Silly, right? Well, I'm just testing this. Now that I've tried this, I can help Kate out some more.

So, our toilet was slowly leeching out water... We decided to replace the wax ring, but unfortunately we discovered on removal of the toilet that the floor flange that the toilet bolts to is so corroded that it had broken. Time to call a plumber...

...on a much more enjoyable note, I'm planning to start two coding projects. First, I want to make a mobile app. I'll likely start with Android due to my Java experience, but iOS is really appealing and plus I have an iPhone. Second, I want to learn to build a rich client app using the Netbeans platform. Given the possible demise of the Swing Application Framework, Netbeans recommends their RCP framework to replace it. I'd like to get an idea how crazy that is first.

Now to come up with application ideas...

I just started playing with this following thing. I have no idea what it is. Maybe after I have a few margaritas and followed a few more I'll figure it out.
