I decided not to run tonight as I figured I wouldn’t, and instead I went to the store, bought some food, and came home to eat, sample some beer, and watch my DVDs of “Arrested Development.”
One of the recurring gags in the show was that the father liked to teach his children a lesson by [...]

I’m sitting here at work practically falling asleep. Granted, what I’m doing isn’t very attention-holding–watching a failed hard drive make a copy to the network–and I know it’s my own damn fault I’m so sleepy. Sometimes it’s because I haven’t slept well (which has been happening a lot lately anyway), but last night [...]

If there’s one holiday I enjoy more than any other, it’s Thanksgiving. Any holiday where it’s not only expected, but encouraged to eat as much as you can is all right in my book. I did eat as much as I could, fortunately, even though I felt a little sick afterwards. Sick [...]

3:15 AM and I’m wide awake. I guess you could say I’ve had a lot on my mind in the last couple of weeks, though rarely has it interfered with my sleep cycle. Maybe it has something to do with relationships, maybe it has something to do with work, maybe it has something [...]

Seriously, where have I been?  How come I never knew how much the Dandy Warhols rocked?  Have I really been so far out of the new music scene since the Dandys entered ten years ago that I didn’t know that a band from my own hometown kicks ass?
I feel like an idiot.  I feel like [...]

2500 messages moved, only 11,500 to go.  Yeah, I still have a ways.
One good thing about moving my email from a dedicated email provider to the same company that hosts my website is that I can install my own webmail software, if I so choose.  The software they use by default is stable, but not [...]

Imagine my surprise when I discovered this morning that my password was no longer accepted by the company who I get my email through, neither through my email program nor through their web interface. After inquiring with their technical support (through my fortunately still-functioning Gmail account), it seems that due to some sort of [...]

On Friday an email got sent out to the firm saying there was going to be an after-work Happy Hour, so I showed up and it turned out I was the only member of the support staff who went. Drinks with ten attorneys…yeek. I had a good time, but I felt out of [...]

Actually, I really only care that Rumsfeld resigned.  A Democratic control of Congress doesn’t mean that anything I agree with will get done, mostly because the Democratic Party doesn’t support anything anymore, they’re just against things.  At the very least, it’s will be the world’s largest oversight committee, and for now, that’s good enough for [...]

Danger, geekspeak ahead.
Merry Christmas to me. After three years of waiting, prices dropping, sizes increasing, and money coming and going, I finally took the opportunity to buy myself a real television instead of continuing to use hand-me-downs. I’d been comparison shopping for the last few years, watching technology, reading reviews now and [...]
