Ahhhhhhhhhhh

Date May 24, 2007

I’m not sure if there are greater pleasures than sitting outside in the warmth on a nice spring(ish) evening with a cold bottle of beer.  If there are, I’d certainly like to know what they are.  But for now, I’m content to sit on my porch with a beer and my laptop.  And music.  Hey, [...]

Wednesday trains of thought

Date May 23, 2007

If I keep up my current level of running, I should be back to “normal” in no time. I ran 3.5 miles on Saturday and Sunday, 4.5 miles on Tuesday, and another 4 miles today. I sure need it, too. I’ve been neglecting the level of exercise my food and libation desires [...]

The price of spice

Date May 21, 2007

Date May 11, 2007

I was feeling a little out of sorts earlier this week, and I knew a little exercise would straighten me out. I took a shortish run on Sunday (3 miles or so), then ran the long way home from work on Monday and Tuesday (4 miles or so), but when I got home after [...]

Keeping out of step and out of line

Date May 2, 2007

My last post doesn’t make much sense unless you’ve been following what’s been going on at Digg, or rather, unless you’re a big ol’ geek.
The short story of it is, someone cracked the HD-DVD encryption code, and the string of numbers can be used to create (with some work) an HD-DVD ripper so you can [...]
