What to do when you can’t connect to the Internet with Google Chrome?
Needed to reset the router. Did so, lost internet connection while it was rebooting. Had Chrome open and refreshed my connection. This neat little running jumping game appears. It appears to just be a ‘no connection’ screen… but press the space bar. And have fun!

How I’m preparing for the new Star Wars movie.
I’m set. We have evening tickets in the swanky-wide-butt seats at the local omniplex. But, I want to revisit the story line prior to the event. So, off to watch the six previous movies I go. Or do I? This post in a local fan group on Facebook has me thinking… do I need to see them…

Paper pocket organizer inclined toward photographers
