  2. An entertaining running joke

    I read many, many comics online. One of the ones I read is about gamers, and while there is a good deal of considerably offensive content at points, there’s a running joke going right now that I find quite funny.
    Start here for the first comic in the current storyline, or here for the homepage, [...]

  3. The end of an era

    For those of you who live in the lovely city that I currently call home, you’re probably well familiar with the fact that in the Coronado Mall, there is a Chick-fil-A. This place is a favorite of mine and my wife’s when it comes to eating out cheap.
    However, come 9:00pm MDT tonight, the Chick-fil-A [...]

  5. Interesting Phenomenon

    I was taking a last minute break before bed to play this simple game (breakout with 3D and more prettiness) and I got to level eight and realized that “Hey, I haven’t passed away once yet.” Odd word usage, probably influenced by my stepdad’s passing.
    Also, side note: This is post number one-hundred and ten [...]

  6. Reflections

    As the semester draws to a close, I’m finding that this semester carries more stress than any thus far. The combination of a large workload plus recent events is nearly more than I can bear. I’ll make it, but I’m so glad it’s almost over. Five meetings of two of my classes [...]

  7. New day, new me

    I need to pick up and move on. The Iowa trip, while difficult, also had some great points. It was good to meet all of the family that I’ve got but had never met.
    I have a lot of catching up to do for school, but I should still easily make it through all [...]

  8. Internet Terminal

    So, I’m sitting at Sky Harbor in Phoenix, and using this interesting ‘net terminal to do this entry. I have about 2:30+ minutes left, because I just couldn’t help myself.
    You pay a buck, and get four minutes, with each addition minute costing $0.25. I have to say, this is a very neat idea. [...]

  9. Exhaustion

    I’ve really been trying to get some rest, but it’s just not been effective. I’ve been striving to catch up on homework, since I fell a bit behind due to recent events, but it’s not been terribly effective. I feel like this weekend, I’ll get some closure at the funeral. I mean, [...]

  10. Particularly Difficult

    For some reason, today is harder than yesterday was. I keep thinking about my dad, so many different thoughts and feelings.
    I found out that I am to inherit his computer and all of the stuff he had for that. He was an avid gamer too, but in a different vein than I tended [...]

  11. A passing

    It’s been too long since I’ve posted, but there is reason to the latency.
    For those of you who read this blog and don’t already know, my stepdad John Weber passed away on Thursday, April 17th, 2003 around 1:00pm MDT. He had been in the hospital since the prior Thursday, and had been fighting lung [...]

  12. Ups and downs

    This weekend was definitely one filled with some great joys and great sorrows all in one. My step-father is really sick and in the hospital, and to be honest, this subject is one of the rare few that I prefer not to discuss online, so I’ll talk about the joys.
    I finally got all of [...]

  13. Terragen

    I was playing around with some software called Terragen – run a google search to find the URL. I used to play with this program before, but it’s gotten a lot better. This took about 20 minutes, most of which was just render. I generated a random landscape, picked a camera angle [...]

  14. David Bloom passed away

    MSNBC.com – NBC’s David Bloom dies in Iraq
    I heard this on the news this morning, and was struck by an incredible sadness. I had watched David Bloom hosting Weekend Today many weekends over the past few years, and was impressed with his coverage of the war. In an odd way, it brings me [...]

  15. Recent Lack

    I’ve been lacking in posts lately. Then again, I don’t expect that many, if any, people really read this much so it probably hasn’t been missed too much. The people who do read it most likely talk to me on a daily or weekly basis anyways.
    School has just been a bit too much [...]

  16. Twisted Feet

    I was trying to get a picture of my twisted feet – don’t know how effective I was, but feel free to look for yourself.

    Edit: 24 May 2004: Took out the popup window. Better for access issues and strict XHTML compliance and whatnot.
