To a lot of people, a can of beans isn’t a big deal. To a native New Mexican whose lineage goes back to when the area was a Spanish colony…it’s a very big deal. So when I say that Taco Bell Home Originals: Fat Free Refried Beans are my choice for my daily bean, heed should be…erm…heeded.

I’ve used a lot of microphones in my day. Regular readers of this blog know that I’m not above doing a podcast when the occasion warrants. I also use Skype for a VOIP application, and I’m a frequent user of Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Right now, the mic I’m using the most, and am the happiest with, is the Logitech USB Desktop Microphone.

I’ve been a fan of the Mini Maglite flashlights for years. I’ve liked their solid construction as well as their reliable service. With the LED Mini Maglite, the ante has been upped. This is a must-have flashlight.
