When I started the Phoenix Area Real Estate Blog I didn’t give much thought to the domain name. Instead, I wanted it to be free, and since I had the domain 101bell.com, adding blog at the front was indeed free. But since the blog is doing so well, it’s time to revisit that decision. I’ve done […]
This’ll be quick. I purchased Halo 3 for the XBox 360 on Tuesday, unwrapped it and got busy. Nice game. Not much different than Halo 2, but you gotta love a game that has essentially no loading screens. There seem to be more cut scenes in Halo 3 than in Halo 2. Otherwise the action […]
Ok, the Tour of the White Mountains is just 5 days away, and I still haven’t selected a distance. Unless my friend Chris Z goes and does the 52 miler, I’m leaning toward the 41 miler. Right now, I’m feeling more concerned with finishing the event than pressing myself to my limits…although I don’t exactly […]
Friday night I sat on the roof of the office and shot photos for 45 minutes as the sun went down. Then I doctored and toyed with them, and finally selected this image for the new banner image on the real estate blog: What do you think?
The banner image for the Phoenix Area Real Estate Blog is a photo that I took of the Grand Canyon. It’s a nice photo, and I like it a lot. But it really isn’t anything Phoenix Related. I need to fix that. I’m contemplating a night shot from the roof of my office that would include Camelback […]

By adding this copyright notice, I can determine if anyone was to steal my feed, since it links to my site […]
I think it was early December when I was in Best Buy and they set out about a dozen PS3’s. PS3’s were very rare, and while I didn’t really have any personal interest in one, I figured I could make a few dollars hocking one on craigslist or ebay. When I get it to the […]
The final Harry Potter book was released on July 7th, and Jan purchased a copy for me that day. Unfortunately, I was reading David Weber’s Hell’s Gate at the time. And then, Hell’s Gate decided to end with a cliffhanger, so I was forced to read Hell Hath No Fury immediately following. Not that book […]
Unfortunately, my brother-in-law Chris was laid off his 17 year job at CSK yesterday. This came as a surprise to him, even though he was aware that some people would be let go as the company did some restructuring. The restructuring involved eliminating duplicate regional positions, but he was handling a national thing, relating to […]
After checking out this Blog from fellow REALTOR Heather Barr, yesterday, I found a feature that I felt was pretty cool: Snap Shots. I’ve seen it all over the net, but hadn’t realized it was easy to add to my WordPress blog. A quick look around, and sure enough there’s a WordPress plugin, and 15 minutes […]
