I was driving back to work from lunch today when I had a near-miss with an invincible jogger in the road. I’m guessing he was invincible because he didn’t even quaver at the approach of my car’s awesome kinetic energy. It’s an American luxury sedan, so it has considerable mass. It got [...]

Although no one has actually made this shirt yet, I think it would be hugely popular in the gaming community.

Amy got very excited today when Balthazar replied, thoughtfully, to a situation at dinner in sign-language. He’s not deaf, nor is anybody in his family. He just doesn’t talk, so Amy thought we should teach him to communicate some way. Sign-Language is apparently something very young children can pick up, and Balthazar [...]

I love new product commercials for products you never thought you needed. They’re always pitching some great new product that *fix* the way you used to do it. Of course, the people they show doing it the old way are complete oafs. Who are these idiots that can’t pick up hotdogs with [...]

I’ve only recently tried out the RealPlayer and QuickTime alternatives out there. Due to my hosting arrangement, I’m only able to stream Real A/V streams. The server side stuff is actually really nice, so I’m not complaining about that. I realize, however, that there are a lot of people out there that [...]

I do this periodically just in case my car should fail miserably one day, which it should any day. I currently have a 1994 Pontiac Bonneville with 196k miles on it. That’s pretty good for an American car, even if it is a luxury sedan. I’m really excited by the Mazda3, 5-door. [...]

I started on an additional venture yesterday. It’s a food critic idea I had – I eat out all the time. It’s not much of a stretch for me to simply write about my experience at a place. I’m obviously just getting into it, so I hope to grow with the experience [...]
