Felicia gave me beer for doing yardwork.  Awesome.  Not beer I would have gone out of my way to purchase on my own, but I have to say, free beer rocks.
All my beer should be free beer.  Any takers?

I woke up Tuesday morning very tired and very disoriented from a night of strange dreams. I don’t remember more than just flashes of pictures and emotion, and I’m always amazed at how some dream images can stick with you. Water. Falling. Fire. Mysteries. Fighting. Surprisingly, even given [...]

I had to get out of work today before anyone asked me to do anything else.  I had the distinct displeasure today of dealing and butting heads with two people who I generally dislike and typically stay off my radar.  Occasionally, however, I have the misfortune of stepping up to the plate and actually, you [...]

…when I’m safe and dry at home, that is. And especially after it was hailing and raining so hard, my shoes soaked through and got my socks wet just in the five blocks from where the bus dumps me off on Belmont. I was going to go for a run after work today [...]

I had a sudden realization this morning when I got to work, so I check back in my blog and sure enough–in two days, I will have been working downtown and commuting exclusively by public transportation for two years.  Somewhat fitting that today is the first day in two years that I didn’t bring the [...]

Sitting on my front porch, listening to music, drinking a beer, enjoying the weather.  I love springtime.  I also like having a laptop that lets me stay online while I sit on my front porch, drink beer, and enjoy the weather, but that’s secondary.  But nice.
Went for a run today in the good weather.  Absolutely [...]

It took me several years and a lot of putting up with slowness, but I finally bought myself a new laptop. I’ve been saving money since last year for (partially) this very reason. Very nice.
After much hemming and hawing, a lot of product comparisons, and a denied credit card, I ended up walking [...]

I’d say “Guess where I am?” but I have a feeling most people who know me well have a pretty good idea of where I am. I “borrowed” a laptop from work that no one was using and brought it home, partially as an experiment to see how well Ubuntu Linux works on it [...]

I was pretty tired yesterday evening, and after a shortish run and a light dinner I was more than ready to head to bed, though I meant to turn in earlier than 10:30.
Alas, the universe had other plans for me. Either due to stuff on my mind, the two sodas I had over the [...]

I’ve built a couple dozen computers in my time, but never have I ever swapped out the motherboard for a laptop. Here’s a hint: don’t. It sucks. Too many screws, too small of a workspace. Took me hours and two separate dis/assembly sessions once I discovered something wasn’t connected properly and [...]

Ahhh…that’s better. I always enjoy refreshing the look and functionality of my website. I enjoy working on my site, but I also enjoy other people doing my work for me. So much nicer when things come relatively pre-packaged.
Work has been sooooo slow today. Either no one’s in the office, or no [...]

The last post I wrote was sitting waiting to be posted for more than a week, so I decided to cut my losses and just post it. I didn’t really feel like cramming two and a half weeks into a single post.
I had a blast on Friday night. For the first time in [...]
