I’ve decided to begin posting about some of my favorite things, and some of the things which drive me to hate. Yeah, I can be a hater.. a pretty good one too. I prepare my evidence, do my research and attack! .. keep an eye out for the “Dislike” series which will begin shortly. Since [...]
Back in NJ for a visit with Dad and to transport some super sekret serverz for work. This trip I’m taking the NJ transit express bus. I should have done this sooner. Lots of thoughts crossing my mind on this trip… Missing wife and daughter… Wishing I was here on better terms. Blogging is much [...]
Well I’m 20 days in and I haven’t stuck to my post-a-day ritual that I intended to. Part of me wants to congratulate myself for committing myself to something and following through half-assedly, but the other half of me is very upset. This blogging thing isn’t easy. I’m trying to keep it original and useful [...]
Every Christmastime the family sits down and watches Trading Places. This has to be one of my all-time favorite comedies ever. Aykroyd and Murphy were in top form at this stage in their careers and the supporting cast was fantastic. Jamie Lee also played an excellent, lovable, hooker. I know I’m not alone – people [...]
Last weekend I posted an optimistic blog entry and tweeted some criticism in the direction of the Seahawks and Rams. I now realize that’s the secret key to ensuring victories in the playoffs. Well done Seahawks. Maybe next week you can beat someone too!! I will be sure to say something negative about you prior [...]
I know it isn’t cool to make fun of people, especially ones who are sick or have been sick, but … Steve Jobs is looking progressively more like a skeksis. This brings to mind all kinds of vivid theories and ideas about how Apple recently became the 2nd most valuable company evar!!1 Was his “liver [...]
I’ve always enjoyed strategy games on the computer and in with the New Year came a desire to start wasting some time playing them again. Of course there’s Starcraft 2, the latest hotness.. but I don’t have a new enough machine to really play it in all its glory anyway – which is a fortunate [...]
This morning as I watched the super early KING5 news with my daughter – who’s insisting on waking at 5:15a! WHY?! – they showed footage from my hometown! OMG, all the way up here in Seattle and I’m getting news about NJ! Oh, something is on fire….. As expected, it wasn’t for anything positive or [...]
My wife and I decided to engineer a list of 50 (yes, fifty) things we’d like to do more of in 2011. I’m not sure what drove me to it, but, I decided I’d like to eat more freshwater eel. Why not? Unagi, while popular and certainly common, has always been one of those things [...]
While scanning fark.com today I came across a popular comments thread about Iran and spy planes. Somebody mentioned the SR-71, or Blackbird, or ‘Habu’ – and things went funny pretty fast. It had me doing the lol on the bus. Below are some of my favorite responses to the thread hijacking. Ah, the SR-71. The [...]
