Budget file updated

March 27, 2008

A few years ago I made a post on a blog about a budget file I created in excel. That post once got picked up by Yahoo and saw my site get flooded with traffic. I took the post down when I switched servers but I still see people looking for it every day. So I’ve added it grantgannon.com/lifehacker. Enjoy.

Edited: Fishin’ with dad

March 23, 2008

Went fishing south of Montgomery today with Dad. It’s something we haven’t done in ages, so that was great. Managed to catch a few, nothing of any merit though.

Unnamed close female associate: That’s what she said.

Great music you never knew existed on Pandora

March 20, 2008

Stuck at work with your ITunes on another computer? IPod dead? Need music for a party and nobody has a good CD? Try using Pandora. It’s a site that streams music based on your tastes, both from bands you know and bands the site thinks you might like. Fan of The Killers? Subscribe to their station and Pandora will stream bands similar to The Killers. Don’t like a song? Skip it and Pandora learns what you like and don’t like.

Story: I spent an extended weekend in Chicago but needed to be in Montgomery by 6:30 on Monday evening for a banquet. I booked a 12:10 flight out of Chicago, landing in Houston at 2:50 with a connection to Montgomery scheduled to leave at 3:35, landing at 5:15. Read more

The Birmingham ‘International’ Airport

March 14, 2008

For all it’s drawbacks…long lines, poor parking, awful location, inadequate flight schedule, cramped terminals and lack of food/entertainment. The airport does have one very redeeming quality. Free Wi-Fi. It makes a three-hour wait for a flight not all that bad.

It’s funny sitting here though as I’m right near the end of the s Read more
