Drivin’ Away With a Driveway
So, we can add driveways to the list of things you wouldn’t think people could steal. Yup, 300 square feet of pavers just dug up in broad daylight and trucked away. That takes balls.

Jaily Jumper
It looks like, while I’ve been busy, news stories that just scream that I should post them have been popping up all over the place. This is one of them. You know you’re not meant for a life of crime when you try to escape but land in the arms of police. Seriously that’s how …

Help the Get Together with Technology Program Get Together Some Technology
This comes from a friend of mine. I wish I had spare equipment I could part with, because I think this Get Together with Technology program is a pretty neat idea. How many times over the years have I contemplated buying a piece of technology, but decided against it because it’s a lot of money …
