Hot Air Balloon Ride

Posted by Thomas Chapin on Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

This past Saturday, I went on a hot air balloon ride! We went over a mile high, and it was awesome!
My business partner, Chris Tingom, came along (he rode in the other balloon) and he took a video of the experience, and a few photos. I took a video as well, but he beat me [...]

Litmus Test for Door to Door Sales

Posted by Thomas Chapin on Monday, October 22nd, 2007

Comfortable Climate Control

Posted by Thomas Chapin on Wednesday, November 16th, 2005

Here at my new apartment complex, all utilities are included in the rent. Water, trash, and yes… even electricity. And for this, they charge a premium.

However, it seems that the management has figured out a way to pull a fast one on it’s residents. You see, they control the gi-normous heat pump system and air conditioning system in the center of the complex. And when they deem that the temperature outside is cold enough, they’ll cut off the air conditioning. For everyone.

Now, this is all fine and dandy assuming you like sleeping in a 75-80 degree room. But I don’t. I like sleeping in a 68-70 degree room. Call me spoiled. But I know how I sleep best, and I’m paying for a climate controlled environment, dang it.

Luckily, I brought my window A/C unit along with me from Texas.
