A Dimmer Switch. I has writed one:
Living with IOMS, One Day at a Time
Yeah, I’m waaaay behind schedule on these. But I’ve been busy. Busy painting.
The wife decided it was time to deck the walls with latex and pigment, fa-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la! I don’t have a lot of patience for home [...]

First things first: a new Dimmer Switch for your reading enjoyment:

Father’s Day Gifts Your Dad Really Wants
This brings me to week 8 of Project 52. Despite a few hiccups, we’re still rolling along pretty smoothly.
Speaking of hiccups, my computer died last night. When I turn it on it does nothing; no noise from [...]

I’m not sure if I’m titling these correctly. Technically the stuff I’m writing about occured on Wednesday, but it doesn’t post until the next day. Not that it matters, really.
Just a short post today as I’m still finishing up this week’s offering of The Dimmer Switch. Yes, I know, cutting [...]

Hmmm. 6 weeks. Just like I predicted.
Yes this week’s offering of The Dimmer Switch is a day late. No excuses or anything, just late. It was bound to happen I suppose, so I’m glad I got that out of the way. Still haven’t missed a week though, so that streak is [...]

Hoorays! Another Thursday, another Dimmer Switch. Is this a pointless endeavor or worthy pursuit? I’m not sure yet. Anyways, here’s this week’s column:
We can’t all be astronauts
Five weeks in, three close calls. I really need to start writing these in advance. Oh, I pretty much have the topic chosen [...]

(Okay, maybe it does abbreviate well)
New week! New Switch! A blog as vacant as Paris Hilton’s stare after being asked a physics question!
Without further ado, here’s this week’s offering of The Dimmer Switch:
I Survived The Great Power Outage of 2008
As I mentioned last week, I do intend to blog on a more [...]

(No, it doesn’t abbreviate well)
For Week 3 of Project 52, The Dimmer Switch turns its focus on Mother’s Day. More specifically, guys and our bungling attempts at buying gifts.
The Guys’ Guide to Mother’s Day Gift Do’s and Don’ts
Used to be that the blog received more traffic so I used these notifications to siphon off [...]

Happy first of May everyone! And what better way to welcome the start of a new month than go read this week’s offering of The Dimmer Switch? If there is a better way I can’t think of one.
I can live without the glove compartment
2 down, 50 more to go. We’re in the [...]

The first in a series of fifty two weekly humor columns is up over at The Dimmer Switch:
Paths to Internet Fame
Not exactly the kick-off I was aiming for. For everyone’s sake, I hope the next 51 are much better.

So, this is my last week for the next year to slack off on publishing the Dimmer Switch. So to kick off Project 52 (yes, that’s what I’m calling it now), here’s a reprint of an earlier column with a few tweaks to keep things current. It’s one of the first things I’d [...]
