And how we can build one for you. There’s a particular kind of magic in waking up to find your website has already done its job — researched a topic, written an article, and published it — while you were asleep. That’s not a fantasy. It’s exactly how DailySideHustle.me works, and it’s built from three...
The Heapy House salad has been at every Christmas celebration since I can remember. It’s a typical Jell-O salad that any grandmother might make and bring to Christmas dinner. My Grandmother was the main “chef” and as far as I know the creator of the Heapy House Salad. I’ve made it multiple time since her...
So, I had one of the best cocktails that I’ve ever had at the most unlikely of places, Hof’s Hut. Yes, Hof’s Hut. The local Hof’s Hut had advertised a cocktail called the Autumn Daydream in it’s fall menu. It is a mixture of Maker’s Mark, lemon juice, apple juice and cinnamon syrup. I had...

One of my favorite recipes that I replicated during this time was the homemade Thin Mint recipe. Still, nearly 10 years later, I still have vivid memories of how...
Ever since moving to a larger home two years ago, I’ve been dealing with WiFi dead zones. The home is 2800 sf and it is a two-story home. The footprint is not very large though. You would have thought that a centrally located router/access point (router) would do the job. Not so. From day one...
Many years ago, I had a cooking podcast with a lovely woman called Helana Brigman. We produced 23 great episodes that were posted at the website, Homemade Is Best. I let that domain name lapse and it was quickly picked up by a spammer and filled with fake ads touting all sorts of wares. It is...
I switched over to LinuxMint full-time this year. More about that later. But I’m learning the tools now available in Linux. So… I had an occasion of combine multiple PDF files. Not having Adobe Acrobat Pro or otherwise, I was unaware of how to do it with Linux. A quick Google search later and I...
Every time we pull this little Personal Beach Table out of the bag someone asks me where I got it. My wife got it at Ross, locally, but they have them on Amazon for only $16.94 and free shipping with Amazon Prime. It’s the perfect table to accompany the Tommy Bahama Beach Chairthat everyone is...
