Finally, the new (refurbished) Xbox 360 has arrived. It actually didnt take all that long to arrive, but Sean and I were really hoping to have it last week for our time alone at home while the girls were at the Showstoppers National Dance Finals. If you remember, mine died a couple weeks back and […]

I was surfing the net the other day looking for what the new Mercedes Benz concept cars might look like. I found a bunch of concept cars that looked “typical”, but one caught my eye. Now, I havent found anything from Mercedes Benz on this car, so I dont know how real it is, but […]

If you remember, my Xbox 360 died last week perhaps caused by a lightning strike, but not sure. Anyways, yesterday the return box from Microsoft was received. We made the UPS guy wait around while we loaded the broken unit into the box and sealed it up. The UPS guy then took it with him. […]

I need to remember to never go shopping when I am tired. After ending the family reunion by getting everyone to the airport, we headed off to Sierra Vista to get a few things. The intention was for Sean to trade in some old Xbox games and get the new Lord of the Rings: Battle […]

Not a good good day for gamers here yesterday as the Xbox 360 failed. I stayed up lat on Wednesday night playing and everything was fine when I headed off to bed. When we powered up the Xbox 360 system on Thursday morning it froze in a checkerboard pattern after playing for a few minutes. […]

Radio Reception in the Mercedes
June 27, 2006 by Leave a Comment
My Mercedes Benz continues to be an excellent purchase. However, all is not perfect. The radio reception in the Mercedes tends to be very poor when I get near the Sonoita area. Now, I am a good distance from the nearest town and thus radio tower, but every previous car (4) I have owned while […]
Finally Adding Tags
June 26, 2006 by Leave a Comment
I have finally given and am gonna start tagging my blog posts. It’s not so much that I have resisted doing the tagging thing, its just that I didnt really understand the benefit of doing it versus categories. I had specifically chosen a small number of categories for filing my posts under. I also didnt […]

I had hoped to release Mr Papa’s World with a new and improved theme this past weekend, but never got it done. Mainly, it was because I have been dissatisfied with my theming work to date. I wont release another theme until I am happy. I have gone back to the drawing board twice and […]
German Engineering – Parking Garage
May 5, 2006 by 3 Comments
Since I have travelled a fair number of times to Germany on business, I have always been amazed at some of the engineering things they do over there. Space is very tight and they do a pretty good job of maximizing it. I came across these images the other day of a new parking garage […]
