LDS Maps

October 05th, 2008 | Category: LDS, Technology

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has finished and released the new “Meeting House Locator” called LDS Maps.  It’s a really neat website that will show you the closest meeting houses as well as the assigned Wards for an address entered, including things like YSA and language wards.

Check it out at http://Maps.LDS.org

Missing comments

Somehow, a ton of comments disappeared off Mike’s World News.  I had to restore from backup from a few days ago to get them back, but some of the more recent ones may be missing.  Sorry for anyone who’s comment is missing.

Sun Oven Cooking

April 13th, 2008 | Category: Preparedness, Technology

I had a birthday recently. As a birthday present, my Wife and my Mother purchased a Global Sun Oven, which is one of the Preparedness items that I’ve wanted. While I hope to use all of the items in the Everything Under the Sun - Solar Oven Food Storage Cookbook, I figured today, I’d start with something simple; I’d start with making hot dogs. I couldn’t find directions on making hot dogs in the Sun Oven. I had two different ideas of how to make them; first was to put them in a pot of water and let the Sun Oven bring the water to a boil. The second idea was to put them on a dish and cook them you would in an oven. I was planning on doing both, but didn’t have quite enough room in the Sun Oven. I ended up going with my first idea of putting them in a pot and letting the water boil. I did not put a lid on the pot and the glass lid of the Sun Oven got very steamy. After the hot dogs where finished, I decided to cook some chili. The Wife can’t eat chili yet, but Mikey and I can.

I thought the food came out pretty good.  I think I’m now ready to try more complex things in the Sun Oven.  They do sell larger Sun Ovens so at some point perhaps I’ll get a larger one, but for now, this one is good.

For anyone interested in trying to make a solar oven, try this one with your kids, from NASA.

A 1000 Mikeys and a 1000 Laptops

March 29th, 2008 | Category: Family, Mikey, Technology

So, one of Mikey’s favorite activities now is to type on our computers.  He will, for example, come sit on my lap and say “Notepad, Daddy”.  He will then sit and type all sorts of random characters.  Recently, he has saved a new document, closed it, and reopened it.  Today he was able to print what he was working on.  A few days ago, he did a print screen and inserted it into Microsoft Word!  So, it makes me wonder; how long would it take Mikey to type all the words of Shakespeare?

A great way to start the day!

February 26th, 2008 | Category: Humor, Politics, Technology

How to start the day with a positive outlook!

  1. Create a new folder on your computer.
  2. Name it “Hillary Clinton”
  3. Send it to the trash.
  4. Empty the trash.
  5. Your PC will ask you, “Do you really want to get rid of “Hillary Clinton?”
  6. Firmly Click “Yes.”
  7. Feel Better?
  8. Tomorrow we’ll do Ted Kennedy.
