Things I Did: Business Trip to Wisconsin, Part 2 (Curiosity is an Asset)

The masses have spoken and they’ve said, “Don! We must know more about your business trip to Wisconsin.” Well, OK, you (read: my kids) asked for it, so here you go. Following my 15-minute “burst” life project plan, the cropping and PicStitch‘ing of these… Continue Reading “Things I Did: Business Trip to Wisconsin, Part 2 (Curiosity is an Asset)”

Things I Did: Business Trip to Wisconsin, Part 1

I’ve decided I’m going to blog about my business trips. Not the “business” part, but the other parts that happen when I’m not working. This blog is mostly assembled for my kids …like a bloggy post-card. But if you like it, hey, more power… Continue Reading “Things I Did: Business Trip to Wisconsin, Part 1”

Things I Did: Switched Shampoo

This is difficult for me to talk about, but here goes nothing. I had dandruff. I itched and saw flakes and it was hard for me to go out in the streets. So I did what any normal dude would do …I switched to… Continue Reading “Things I Did: Switched Shampoo”

Things I Did: Got Ready for Spring

Some people see spring chores as “chores” and it bothers them. I see them as an annual rite of passage. So this weekend when I mowed for the second time, plucked every Dandelion from the lawn, edged, and then cleaned and seasoned my grill… Continue Reading “Things I Did: Got Ready for Spring”

Things I Did: Caught Santa on Video

My 6-year-old had a great idea …set-up a camera and catch Santa on video. Luckily, my very expensive, top-of-the-line flip-cam has a motion and sound activation setting (allowing it to double as a security camera), so we decided we could do this. We tried… Continue Reading “Things I Did: Caught Santa on Video”

Things I Did: Exercise

A few years ago, I felt I was very nearly at the top of my game. I would often times head out for a run and just see where the road would take me. I’d go 3, 4, or 8 miles if I felt… Continue Reading “Things I Did: Exercise”

Things I Did: Sold Salsa at a Farmers Market

I can’t believe it’s already Wednesday and I’m five days removed from my first ever salsa sales event at a farmers market in Michigan. Although just about everything was going against me having any sort of success, mostly the weather pretty much shutting down… Continue Reading “Things I Did: Sold Salsa at a Farmers Market”

Things I Did: Vacation Videos as DVD (Home Movie Tips)

In the brief history of Kaleidoscopic Raygun, I’ve dedicated the majority of entries to discussing coffee and shooting home movies. I know how to make a great cup of coffee.
