恭 喜 發 財! Happy Chinese New Year! Today begins the year of the dog and boy are the kids dog tired after a day of celebrating my youngest daughter’s birthday at the bowling alley! And quite by coincidence, the birthday girl wanted a dog themed party to boot! Arf!
* BTW, I apologize in advance […]
If you use a computer regularly, then you know that there are few things more fearful than the sound of nearly constant hard drive access, even when nothing else is being done on the computer. To make a long story short, Norton GoBack was the culprit. After I removed it from my wife’s computer, the […]
After wrestling with my daughter’s laptop wireless access today and having had long battles with the TiVo network access and the other kid PC, I’ve come to the conclusion that my Linksys WAP11 sucks! It seems to be locking up randomly requiring a reset or power cycle. It’s about 3 years old, but has really […]
I don’t usually pay much attention to Slashdot on Sundays, but a documentary (or mockumentary) film on D&D players caught my eye today. After watching it and having a good laugh, I thought, “there but for the grace of God go I!” I was never into the D&D scene in highschool, Starfleet Battles was more […]
Live Linux CDs have been out for a few years now, but it still amazes me what you can do with this great tool. Today I had a situation where my main computer had no OS and a colleague had some difficulties with the laptop on which she was planning to run her PowerPoint presentation. […]
Got my W-2 form today and this year I have promised to get the taxes done early, rather than the usual days before they are due after much nagging from WillowBrow my lovely spousal unit. Since I’m on a low nag diet, I’d better get out there and buy some tax return software!
Nothing like coding at work to the beat of para para remixed anime tunes blasting from the iPod. I bought the Anipara Club Para Para Dance No. 1 album by the I Love You! Project on iTunes several weeks ago, but hadn’t really made it a part of my daily rotation until today. This stuff […]
It’s been on the E3 rule books for some time now, but E3 is finally going to crack down on the use of scantily clad women in exhibition booths at the show. It’ll be interesting to see what some exhibitors will do to get around the rules. Perhaps this year, the nearly naked booth babes […]
Toyota is coming to NASCAR’s Nextel Cup racing series in 2007 and things are already starting to heat up. I know the purists out there won’t be happy, but I think Toyota’s going to come in and shake things up a bit. And that can only be good for competition and, ultimately, the fans paying […]
This marks the first post since changing the blog from Nucleus CMS to WordPress. A hearty thanks goes out to Nucleus for getting me started and working when other blog software wouldn’t work with my host! Now I’m looking forward to getting things set up and all pretty under WordPress. So things are probably going […]
Today was tough… First I had the unenviable experience of being in the Principal’s office because my eldest daughter got into trouble at school. I used to get into a bit of trouble when I was younger before I got baptized (honest to God!), so I knew about being in trouble. After that bit o’ […]
Ah the bliss that is cable…If last night’s episode of the Boondocks in which Martin Luther King Jr. awakens from a 3 decade coma, had been on one of the broadcast networks, angry people would be out in the streets. But safely buried on cable in Cartoon Network’s late night Adult Swim block, I guess […]
WillowBrow is playing up a storm on the piano right now, and it could not have come at a better time for me. Most of my days at home or work are filled with some kind of tech tinkering or other, that’s just me. Today I was feeling rather annoyed after discovering that my recent […]
Not much commentary here. I just found it interesting that two men who took a stand, each in his own way, against his own people for the sake of what was right have recently passed beyond this world. Maybe just a coincidence, maybe not. So without further comment here are the links to stories that […]
I’ve been watching the Boondocks since it premiered on Adult Swim in the fall, and for the most part the shows have been good. The use of the "n-word" may be excessive depending on your point of view. I heard that a fair amount growing up, but not nearly as much as on the show. […]
