Times are a Changing

For those of you in the Northern Hemisphere, welcome spring! If you don’t see any differences around here, hold down your “SHIFT” key and click the refresh button. That will refresh this pages style sheet and show you spring’s colors. Incidentally, it’s 38°F outside – it doesn’t feel much like spring in the morning yet.

Thup, Thup, Thup…

There is something really awesome about the sound of a helicopter coming up on and passing you. Maybe it’s just the military-style choppers that emit that powerful thunder-clapping with their rotors, or do the news reporters have it too. This morning, a military medical transport (Huey?) flew a few times, low, over the CheckFree campus.… Continue reading Thup, Thup, Thup…

W00t W00t!

At one time, there was only one crack of choice. Today, woot.com products replace the tired old, used goods of yesteryear that were once purchased from the old flame, eBay. eBay still has a place – I still need to sell my woot.com warez to unsaavy individuals, but now woot.com takes first place in online… Continue reading W00t W00t!

Late Night

Not that it is, nor would it be if I would just stay on task, but tonight will probably be a late night. I’m working on some last minute preparations for a presentation I’m giving on a whole host of Microsoft products and solutions tomorrow morning. I haven’t gotten the time to work on it… Continue reading Late Night

Winter Storm 2005

[subtle sarcasm ahead] We’ve made it through the Winter Storm 2005 event, as the news likes to call it. The torrential downpour of ice and slush coated everything with a half inch of glassy ice. Quite pretty, though worthless to drive on. My vehicle is front-wheel drive, so it’s rendered useless in the great Georgian… Continue reading Winter Storm 2005

Chicken Launcher

The party last night at Dan’s was fun. He had a good measure of food, which is always good for me. I spent much of the time grazing, though I was able to communicate rudimentarily between bites. Most of the people there were from Dan’s group of employees, though Ed, I, and Ron were not.… Continue reading Chicken Launcher

Everything That’s Cute

For Christmas (Yule, what have you), I commissioned a song in Amy’s honor. I also created a video around the song for her to see Christmas morning. It was probably one of my better surprise gifts ever. The plan went off without a hitch and she says I can post it here for all to… Continue reading Everything That’s Cute

Adam & Eve

Today, for the uninitiated, is Christmas Adam. As many of you know, Adam came before Eve ergo today’s celebration. I’m not sure when in history we collectively decided to end our recognition of the first homo sapiens, but the choice to embrace this *truth and honor it for a day can be made. Since I’ve… Continue reading Adam & Eve

Work @ 7:00am

It turns out I like being at work earlier than everyone else. For one, it’s quiet – somber even. For another, it’s still dark outside. I much prefer getting started in the morning in the dark. It’s easier on the eyes, It’s not chilly this morning as I had hoped, but not too warm either.… Continue reading Work @ 7:00am

Ex-Con’s Seen in Bar

Today, there are at least four people that wish they had stayed in bed this morning. Three of them probably wished they were dead too. 5:00am came earlier than normal this morning when my alarm (cell phone) jolted me out of my comfortability. Last night, I joined three friends at Wild Wing Cafe in Suwanee… Continue reading Ex-Con’s Seen in Bar
