    Clinton Interview with Chris Wallace

    She really lives in another world. She lies right to Wallace's face about what Comey said in testimony. Even when presented with the video, she says the exact opposite of what Comey stated. She then says it was the people emailing her that were at fault, not her. Link

    The battery on my Dell laptop is on it's way out; down to holding a 45min charge. My brother in law has a spare battery for his Dell that he has never used. The only problem is that the battery won't lock into place in my laptop; the cause is one edge of the battery doesn't quite match...

    VBA publishing range as html

    I created a simple macro to publish a range of cells to a directory as an htm file. The macro works perfectly when running it directly from the VBA editor. I created a button to run the macro from the worksheet. The button simply calls the publishing macro. The problem is, the macro...

    CA State Senator rear ends another driver while talking on cell.

    While the hypocrisy here is self evident, I was more suprised by the fact that she was driving a brand new state-issued $30,000 SUV. This is after turning in her state-issued $45,000 Cadillac. No wonder Cali's going broke. Link
