As I know you all love pictures of me, here’s one I just took with my camera. Enjoy, but not too much.
It should also be noted that tomorrow is my birthday. If you click the image above that, it gives you the same image but in the gallery, with a note about how old I’ll [...]
January 31, 2004Uncategorized4 commentsI can NOT believe the men have lost AGAIN! Sure, the show is barely half over, but man. The guys had a 6 percent increase in revenue, where the women had a 31 percent increase in revenue. I feel so bad for the guys. The women are basically selling themselves in order to win, and [...]
January 29, 2004UncategorizedNo commentsI recall hearing Howard Dean in a commercial saying a variant on the “I approve this message” statement, roughly in the format of “My name is Howard Dean, I’m running for president, and I approve this message because of X reason here.”
Then, I saw a Wesley Clark commercial, where at the end of the ad [...]
Super Size Me.
This guy decided to test McDonald’s claims that people can find nutritional value in their menu by switching to eating nothing but McDonald’s food three times a day for thirty days. He gained twenty-five pounds, his cholesterol rocketed, and his liver became toxic. That’s insane.
I have something I kind of want to rant [...]
Wow! Two tests in one night, and so close to each other even! I just got some good emails – both of these tests were really short, so I don’t feel like I really wasted much time.

I haven’t posted a quiz here in a long time, so here we go. Sometimes I post the LiveJournal-type quizzes on my LiveJournal, but this is a good enough one for the real blog.
The head blob! Think hard enough and there youare! HOY-YOOOOO!

This link is posted with Alex in mind. This guy got a new dual G5, ripped out the interior, and put in a new motherboard with an AMD chip – basically turned the nice G5 system into a PC.
How I PC’d an Apple G5 (Note: I didn’t do this, I’m just using the title of [...]
I was filling up my gas tank tonight, and I got the urge to use a long exposure and see if I could capture the needle rising. You can see it streaking, sort of. I really enjoyed this affect though. In a way, the picture has a stylized feel to it. Maybe in a car [...]
January 27, 2004UncategorizedNo commentsSo yeah, I upgrade to Movable Type 2.661 (see Powered By link on sidebar, near bottom). Supposedly, I can turn on comment registration, and I’m contemplating that. It would require commenters to register with my site, so I don’t know if I really like that, but I am also getting comment spam, so it might [...]
January 26, 2004UncategorizedNo commentsThis is really for my edification for later, but just so I don’t lose them now, here are a couple of sites I’d like to look at later, for modifying my installation of Gallery.

It actually snowed here today, and not an insignificant amount either. Well, I guess, really it is an insignificant amount in terms of having a notable impact on our official precipitation levels for the year, but nonetheless it’s still very surprising to see snow. I took some pictures, since I can. I’ve also created a [...]
January 25, 2004UncategorizedNo commentsWho was General Tso and why are we eating his chicken?
As someone who is a big fan of General Tso’s chicken, when I saw someone link to this article at the Washington Post (from April 17, 2002, so I hope we don’t get linkrot), I was quite happy to read it. I had no idea [...]
So, everyone’s going all nuts over Howard Dean’s speech after the Iowa caucus. I don’t get the big deal, because to me it just looks like he’s all fired up. However, it makes for some great parody.
Filibuster – Editorial Cartoons – the January 23rd (today’s) strip has Howard Dean ordering breakfast in the same yelling [...]
So, another episode of The Apprentice is over, and Sam got the boot. It was about time. He was unable to gain respect from the guys since day one, and he was holding back the team. I would have rather seen him gone the prior week – I think the men would have stood a [...]
January 21, 2004UncategorizedNo commentsAfter much incessant nagging from some people (well, not really, but hey), I finally got some sort of photo gallery software going on my website. If you’re reading this via the main website, you’ll notice a Photo Gallery link on the side there, just under the calendar. Currently, there are three galleries, two of which [...]
January 20, 2004UncategorizedNo commentsDisgruntled Asian Tattoo Artist Inks His Revenge
I know I shouldn’t find this funny – I mean, these people are scarred now and are going to have to either live with stupid things or get them removed – but I still find it funny. Makes me glad I’ve never bothered to have anything tattooed.
I figured I’d take a quick moment to post about the impending three-day weekend and what it holds for us.
First off, we picked up a new Canon Powershot A70 today. Prices had come down, and it’s the camera I’ve been wanting, so I’m ahppy. The shots are amazing so far, unless things are moving fast. [...]
Tech TV Quiz: Are you a nerd?
I got eight out of ten. I’m mildly disappointed, but I can see why I got the two wrong. One of them is in regards to a movie that I’ve seen but don’t know in full detail, and the other was a bit of a trick question, in my [...]
So, the past few days have been kinda rough. I’ve had some sort of cough/cold thing going on, and I wound up taking off Monday and today (although I went in on Tuesday, I wasn’t terribly productive due to a sort of mental fog when sick). Being sick is not a fun thing. Lots of [...]
January 14, 2004UncategorizedNo commentsToday was kind of a slow day at work, then when I got home Lisa wanted to go dinner at Texas Land and Cattle, which is a bit uncharacteristic, but I’m not going to turn down a good steak. We then went to Hastings while we waited for friends to call us back, and they [...]
