Here’s an odd sort-of conversation I had with Sean this morning. I don’t suppose it’s that odd, but it does exemplify our relationship in an odd way. Olaf says: Why is it that www.microsoft.com/iis still goes to the product page for Windows 2000? They just announced the Windows 2000 end-of-life forthcoming. SeanW says: good question… Continue reading Conversational

Lava Orange (Georgia Clay)
I finally got my new car after seemingly insurmountable odds against me. We’ve had a string of bad luck lately, but I hope that this and other recent events signify the end of all that. You may recall the details around the purchase of Amy’s car, the Honda Element. I swore I’d never go through… Continue reading Lava Orange (Georgia Clay)
Blogpoly
BoingBoing tells me about a very clever play on “Monopoly” for the blogoshpere. Everyone has their own version, so it was only a matter of time. Now if only someone would print up the board to play on. You’d have to work out some sort of way to use RSS subscribers as the monetary unit.… Continue reading Blogpoly
Yin and Yang
Raven met this white dog while at my mom’s farm prior to her death a little while back. We didn’t know anything of this little white puff-ball at the time, though we have since come to know her well. It turns out that her leg was broken shortly after this picture from a farm animal.… Continue reading Yin and Yang
Curtains for Bonny
Bonny, my `94 Pontiac Bonneville, finally kicked the bucket yesterday on my drive home. I’ve written about her recently – about an accident for which I still have not secured any funds for due to a State Patrol officer’s form-filling failure (damn you!). She was unable to deliver me home on this last trip; she… Continue reading Curtains for Bonny
Tobin’s Last Movement
It’s been sometime since Dan Tobin’s last entry on 365Dumps.com. The purpose of which, was to write a thought-provoking entry about Tobin’s #2’s for each day of a year. I think that maybe his fans are too critical in their judgment of this challenge. It’s not that Tobin must complete 365 entries to sign-off, but… Continue reading Tobin’s Last Movement

In Memory of Raven
Our very lovable dog, Raven, met an untimely end last night. We are aggrieved by her death, as any pet owner would be. I can think of nothing ill of Raven. She was a great pet the seven-odd years she stayed with us. I only recently wrote of her Wasp-Whispering ways on this blog. May… Continue reading In Memory of Raven
New Recruits
Carlos Rivera and I have both been trying to recruit additional members into the blogosphere. At present, we’re working on pressuring a fellow car-pooler, David C., and a co-worker, Marc W. Each of them have some assemblage of a web site already, but you and I know that excuse is lame. Besides, I don’t think… Continue reading New Recruits
An Artsy Fartsy Weblog: The IF Project
Scott Thigpen has a neat idea running on his blog regarding “The IF Project.” I haven’t read the book of virtually the same title, but I’m interested to do so now. It sounds like it would be a good coffee table book – now to just get a coffee table. “The project is to stir… Continue reading An Artsy Fartsy Weblog: The IF Project
