Westinghouse Television
November 2, 2012
I purchased a 26″ Westinghouse LCD widescreen television about 3 years ago. Just this week it has failed to work. Well it turns on but there is no picture. The white indicator light is on meaning the television is on. Also I hear the sound of the satellite station from the speakers. Blank screen though.
I’ve tried many things including unplugging the tv in hopes that it would somehow reset itself. TV’s are pretty much small computers anymore. I adjusted cords in case they got loose from the normal vibration of the earth. I pressed every button on the remote. There’s not much I didn’t do that would normally fix issues like this.
Well I went ahead and sent an email to the company. No reply yet. Being impatient I went ahead and searched the instruction booklet for a customer service phone number. I’ve attached an image of the page below:
I challenge anyone reading this to call that number. Don’t worry, you won’t get a customer service rep. I assure you I won’t be purchasing anymore Westinghouse products in the future.
Hey but one bright side. I got this dandy magnetic screwdriver that came in the manual bag 🙂

World’s Strongest Man (Toddler) Competition
September 19, 2011
Who needs to watch the World’s Strongest Man Competition when you got this little gem to watch? To the finish line in 18 seconds flat without even breaking a sweat. And that’s pushing it THROUGH the grass! I’m so proud of the little man.
Don’t worry, I’ll be getting him a support belt for Christmas 😀
180 Degree Rotation
September 18, 2011
I just got home phone service installed last week and needed a phone to plug into it. Apparently bundling internet with phone service is cheaper than having internet alone. Go figure. Anyway I decided to pick up a cordless phone at Target since I was there for the weekly grocery shopping anyway. While looking at phones, my daughter saw the cell phone selection directly behind me. She decided to investigate. The pic above is her rotating one of the cell phones. Apparently the clips and tethers that lock the cell phones to the wall can snap together upside down. T felt the need to rotate all of them. I didn’t argue.

Major breakthrough! Look at the snapshot above. What do you see? You may say that you just see 2 kids reaching over to each other or you may notice the tiny piece of puffed corn kernel between their fingertips.
Do you know what I see? I see a little bit more freedom for myself while I’m driving. Normally I’d have to push the driver seat all the way back so I was within arms reach of my son. This way I could hand back little puffed corn or other snacks for him to keep him calm during drives. This also made it a very uncomfortable way to drive as my legs would have to be stretched to press the gas and brake pedals. With this discovery that the kids can reach each other (barely), I can merely hand the whole bag to T and she can feed him for me! This is brilliant stuff! Of course this also means that she’ll be eating half the bag. Small price to pay I guess.
PS. I took the snap shot while at a stop sign. Don’t worry, the vehicle wasn’t moving at the time.
Lucky Soda
September 14, 2011
I have a couple of friends who are photographers (husband and wife team to be exact). They team up often and they are quite the duo when it comes to photo shoots. The Dynamic Davis Duo I sometimes like to refer to them as. Different angles, different perspectives, different ideas. It’s great to have them take time out of their busy schedules to do a photo shoot of our family.
They recently did a family photo shoot for us. My header image actually came from that photo shoot and it’s one of the many that I love. I thought it would be nice to make them a gift. I knew they had recently changed their website and company identity to Lucky Soda. I think it’s a name that suits them well. Anyway I thought making custom labels and attaching them to soda bottles would be a fun thing to do. Truth be told I didn’t design the labels so they aren’t completely custom. I merely stole the image from their website and made labels from it. What do you think?
Thanks again you two! You guys are great!

Post Date 090111 – Here It Starts
September 1, 2011
Perhaps you are wondering why I began this blog on September first. You may be wondering what the significance of this day is. Well sit down and have a cup of coffee because I am about to tell you what that significance is.
Wait for it…
There IS no significance. It’s an arbitrary date. I just thought that a “first of” would be a good date to start as it’s the first of something already. I’ve been blogging for about 5 years already under a pseudo name and I thought it was about time to create a new blog about me and my random thoughts. At its core, this is a blog for me and everyone that is not going to read it.
