The Killing Floor was a great action novel about Jack Reacher who just happened to be passing through the small town of Masgrave, GA when he is accused of murder by the town’s police force that were running the largest counterfeit operation in American History.  After being cleared as a suspect and then finds out that the person that was killed was his brother that he had lost contact with years before.  He sticks around to finish his brothers  business who had been in town to investigate the counterfeit ring.

Very much looking forward to the rest of the series.  Next up is the second book in the Jack Reacher series Die Trying.

I didn’t really see the point of it I was already using my blog to post articles, videos, and anything else I wanted to here on my blog.  Some where in that year I finally started to get a it and realize how Facebook wasn’t really all the different then what I was trying to do with my blog.  I was actually making things a lot harder then the needed to be by resisting using Facebook.  The problem then became my blog was being neglected as you can see from the few posts that have been made since this time last year.

I again am trying to commit to not allowing cob webs to build up here.  To do that I hope to find a happy medium where quick shares and thoughts will be made on Facebook and things that I feel I need a more then a few lines to talk about will be posted here.  Now lets just see if I can stick with that plan.

Happy Birthday Aramelle!

I hope you have a great Birthday!  I Love you so much!

So far we haven’t had a lot of help with the weather.  Since we are taking Zachary out out with us we really have to wait until it it warmer and the weather is little more consistent.

I had know that Geocaching itself had not been around too long as it has not been very long GPS were a common idea for people to have in the car, cell phone, or eve a handheld device.  That led me to being very surprised today when I found this post on my Facebook new feed this evening and come to find out today Geocaching is 11 years old.  I one day if I am ever in the area would like to go to this cache.  That may not happen but I would get there if I can just to say that I found the first cache ever hidden.

Now I am really looking forward to the warmer weather so that hopefully we can get some caching in soon.

I am not sure that I quite “get it” yet.  I know the point it just a social site for people connect, chat, and share videos/pictures.  What I don’t understand if the addiction that some seem to have for it.  I have found myself on it almost every night checking on what people posted and looking for new friends but I don’t feel the need to do so like I was going through with drawls from crack or something.  So far I have found the site to not be very user friendly.  A lot of the menus and options just aren’t very intuitive to me and it seems like there are links in several places for the same options but they do completely different things.

I am starting to find my way around more as time it going on and trying to get involved with comments and checking out what is going on with friends and family.  Still not ready to really give my website up as a place where I post pictures and videos though.

It almost pains me to say this… On 3/13/11 I finally signed up for a Facebook page.  I actually felt dirty this morning when I woke up even after I took a shower.  It will probably be a least a week before I will be able to get the stench off.

I have noticed a lot lately on ads mostly company aren’t pushing their websites, it is all about their Facebook page.  I wanted to finally take advantage of stuff like free food and discounts.

Just not totally sure how much I will actually being using Facebook for sharing videos and pictures since I already do that here on my blog.  With that being said I am hoping that I can get a few more followers here with the help of Workbooker posts here will automatically show up on my Facebook page.  Who knows maybe if I get a lot of response there I will get into it a bit more and actually do something more with it.

I should probably explain a little bit.  Christmas this year in the Wheeler family was basically name the Kindle Christmas. My brother’s wife got him one, My mom got one for my step father as well as one each for me an Aramelle.  A couple of days later Dave, Aramelle, and I got a crazy idea that we should put all of our Kindles on the same account so we could share the books that we bought.

I now find my it annoying when I don’t get to work early enough or have something that I need to take care of during my lunch hour because it is cutting into my reading time.  I know what a nerd I am becoming.

With that all being said and with this concept of trying to post most and have new pages different pages for my new interest that I am growing in to I am launching the Bookshelf.  On this page I am going to list the books I have read along with the one that I am currently reading as well as my Amazon Wish list.

As many of you know I work at a Telephone company that specializes in Business telephone systems (We don’t mention names for the purpose of this story).  Today I had an especially interesting call.  I was trying to help a person out with one of their phones.  At one point I had asked her if the phone she was using had a standard size phone jack like she would have at her house or a larger one like a computer uses for the internet.  Her reply almost made me fall out of my chair.  She told me that she didn’t have a home phone.  She just has an iPhone so she had never had a phone at home.

Now I understand that this s a pretty common thing to now have a home phone anymore but I don’t believe that this person that had to be around my age had never what the jack looks like on a home phone.  The iPhone/smart phone movement hasn’t been here long enough that her statement could be true.

This actually reminded me of another example that Aramelle had run into at work.  She actually had a person get mad at her because she didn’t tell them that to be able to send a fax that they would have to dial a 1 infront of the fax number.  This person actually has been using a cell phone so long that they forgot that you acutally have to dial a 1 before the area code and number when calling long distance.

In the long run this might all be for the better.  Maybe cell phone can get natural selection working again so we don’t have to deal with these brain dead people anymore.
