August 21, 2012 In 1937 Amelia Earhart boarded her Lockheed Model 10 Electra airplane in an attempt to circumnavigate the globe. She mysteriously disappeared over the central Pacific Ocean near Howland Island. Attmpts to find her downed Electra have never ceased, and now, 75 years later, Discovery News is reporting that a team of researchers may have located her.
August 20, 2012 I drove down to Elko, Nevada this weekend to see my little girl. On the way back, just outside of Jackpot, we encountered road construction and this sign. I couldn't help but pull over and snap a pic.
August 19, 2012 The McCash for Kids Fundraiser was a success, Terry learned how to make McDonald's cheeseburgers, and the game 'Pitfall!' turned 30 years old. Here's what Terry was talking about last week.
August 15, 2012 For some unknown reason Buhl McDonald's General Manager Katie Small allowed me to run the register and make cheeseburgers during Tuesday's McCash for Kids fundraiser. During that time I managed to add a McCafe to a kid's Happy Meal (kids need caffeine, right?), and have a new respect for McDonald's employees.
August 12, 2012 I'm not a big fan of camping. My idea of "roughing it" is when the Internet goes down, but I have a lot of friends who plan entire, elaborate trips around camping. I just don't get it.
August 11, 2012 The Perseid Meteor Show is happening this weekend, Curiosity lands on Mars, how refurbished Apple products can save you money, and Instagram love. Here's what Terry was talking about last week.

August 8, 2012 I don't think it's any secret that I love Apple products, but you may not know that I rarely buy brand new Apple products. I swear by refurbished products. They are refurbished by Apple to a state that's every bit as good as brand new, you get a warranty, and in some cases you can get Apple Care. The best part? Buying refurbished saves you money. In some cases, a lot of money.
August 6, 2012 NASA's Mars Curiosity rover made touchdown on the red planet last night utilizing an incredible Rube Goldberg landing system that included a parachute, retro-rockets, and a sky crane. Amazingly, it all worked perfectly and Curiosity is now telemetry and images back to Earth.
But it's an image from another NASA spacecraft that has taken our breath away today.
August 5, 2012 The Perseid Meteor Show is happening next weekend, what box do you use to stream your media, a little lost puppy, and one of the biggest meteor craters in the world is in Idaho. Here's what Terry was talking about last week.
August 4, 2012 Most of the time I think my wife and I have really big hearts, especially for animals, but sometimes I think we're sort of dumb.
Last night my family was playing in the front yard when a rogue puppy bounded out from behind the neighbor's house and joined in the family fun. No one knew where he came from, and none of our neighbors recognized him. My wife and I's solution? Let him stay until we find where he belongs.
Note to self: puppy teeth are sharp and a puddle of puppy whiz is cold in the middle of the night.
August 4, 2012 How often do you change your password? Honestly, I don't change mine nearly enough and I've paid for it. I've had my several of my accounts compromised before I learned my lesson.
But the lesson a former writer for the technology site Gizmodo.com learned yesterday was much more severe, and makes a cautionary tale for all of us.
