Let me start this by saying I have in no way been paid for my endorsement of the following product. Because lets face it, no one is going to pay for my opinion.

We moved into our current house in September and since then we have been living with squeaky floors all through out the house. I mean LOUD squeaky floors. Finally in an effort to fix them I started doing some research. The joists were exposed in the garage so my first option was to screw into the joist and sub floor from below and pull the sub floor back down. But then I found this product:

I am here to tell you that this thing really works and is as easy to use as they say it is. If you have squeaky floors in your house, I highly recommend you try this. Unfortunately my local home improvement stores don’t carry this so I had to order it online. And it only comes with 50 screws, so you may have to order more. I ordered it from Amazon.com, but found out I can order it from Ace Hardware and have it shipped to my local store for free.

I now return you to your regularly scheduled programming…

I have never been one to make resolutions at the beginning of a new year. Resolutions are not something people in general take very seriously. Instead I am going to set some goals for myself, both professionally and personally.

So let’s start with personally…

1. Not to read the bible in a year, instead I am going to read it more then I did last year and get deeper into it.
2. Have more date nights with my awesome wife and show her how much I appreciate her more often.
3. Learn to balance work and home life.
4. I am going to get back in the habit of reading actual books and not just blogs on the internet.
5. Write more personal posts to this blog.

And now a few professionally…

1. Become more organized with my projects.
2. Learn all about creating custom word press themes.
3. Learn as much as I can about Google Wave and building extensions for it.
4. Work less hours.
5. Write more technical posts to this blog.

These goals may change over the course of the year, but this is my starting point. Happy New Year!

It has been said that I have been mandated to teach a small group of social media enthusiasts how to use Google Wave. There is no need to name them. They know who they are…

So here is a video I found that is a beginners guide to the wave. Hopefully they will watch it.
