I like our new neighborhood. I like it because I can look back ten years and remember my first place in Austin. My roommate and I rented atown house in the ghetto. I would wake up at 5 a.m. to the sounds of aluminum cans being thrown out of the dumpster just outside [...]

Elise and I decided that we were going to buy each other a TV armoire for Valentine’s Day. We really needed one because our current particle board ‘entertainment center’ is from Walmart and on it’s very last leg. It wasn’t loaded properly during the move and it’s literally about to fall apart. If [...]

You might not believe this, but Janicek.com is censored. If it were up to me, I would use more words like poo, cat vomit and intermittent. I’ve been told on many occasions that some of the entries I post can be “offensive” to some.
Well, I’m posting this one because I think it’s funny. I must [...]

I talked to [...]

I’ve installed a digital thermostat, semi-organized the garage, screwed a 2 x 6 into the garage wall and mounted heavy-duty tool rack that hold shovels, rakes, etc., insulated a furnace duct in the attic, picked up [more] rocks, ran my backyard [...]

I just bought an album from Wal-mart’s music store. Don’t do that if you use iTunes. I’m now trying a combination of Soundforge and Media Center 9 to see if I can recompress the album so I can put it on my iPod.
I saved $1+ by buying from walmart.com but the hassle isn’t worth $1.
Oh [...]

Last weekend was for moving. Not too many action photos because, well, we were moving. My Mom gave me a muscle relaxer on Friday afternoon that allowed me to lift very heavy objects by using only the muscles in my back! That rendered me pretty useless for the rest of the weekend. I moved light [...]

Moving into a house is stressful. There are boxes everywhere. I figure those will dissipate with time. For some reason, I’m drawn to the backyard. I stand out there a lot and think. I have many ideas - one being a wood deck. We definitely need a deck. [...]
