Yea, I know, long time no update…. seems that not much interesting is going on lately. However, on Saturday Dana was kind enough to invite me out to a poker night. The weather was half decent, so I left home a bit early and went out with the goal of taking some pictures of Mt. […]

Just a few updates to keep my future self reminded of what’s going on with present (past) self. Thanks to a bit/scratch/injury of some sort, Corny had a nasty wound on his back that ended up infected, and the vet had to remove some dead flesh (ick!). He ended up as a franken-Corny (again) (pictured

Another instance of my famousness has appeared at Fake Steve Jobs site. I really must catalog all the occurances of this popping up online, as it is the legacy which I leave my family, my children, and their children. I hope they are proud! Anyone who’s seen my ass, specifically the ass you see to

After being out late last night and getting home and to bed 1am-ish, was woken up around dawn (6? 7?) by my UPS downstairs beeping. Guess the windy night knocked out the power. Got up, hit the button to shut it up, and then went back to bed. Then was woken up by a call

I have hardly been reading at all in ages, other than instruction manuals. One book I borrowed and, while it has a really cool concept (detection of lies, personality, etc through kinetics) I just have had trouble getting into it. I’m about a third of the way in and have to force myself to pick
So I’m now a mac user….. kinda. Only in the work sense though. At the office Christmas party I asked the boss if when the next new hire is in the office they could get my current work laptop (an Acer somethingorother) and I could get a new low end Macbook. Mostly I spend my

Looks like the season (and year) is almost over. Sadly my requests for time off went unanswered, so I only got the three stat holidays off (Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Years Day), and things have been pretty crazy. This morning I went out with my brother in law to hit up the boxing day
