You Have Died of Dysentary
Normally, I don’t like these “Sorry I haven’t posted in awhile, I was hunting wolverines in Alaska” kind of posts, but given the amount of things that have happened lately, it’s the best way to catch up, and let me … Keep reading
Raise The Phoenix Shield!
Last night’s episode of 24 was excellent, except for one geeky problem. They fell into the classic trap of getting too descriptive with their technology. While explaining to Jack that they wouldn’t be able to hack into a suspect’s computers … Keep reading
Vatican Says Evolution and Bible Compatable
Even the Vatican thinks that intelligent design is dumb. “The fundamentalists want to give a scientific meaning to words that had no scientific aim,” he said at a Vatican press conference. He said the real message in Genesis was that … Keep reading
Health Insurance Woes
I spent the better part of yesterday on the phone trying to figure out what we’re going to do to get Annie some health insurance. While we were up North, Annie was on my policy through work, but that ended … Keep reading
Insomnia
For the past several weeks, I’ve been having trouble sleeping. This varies from slight restlessness before I fall asleep to being completely unable to relax, even though I feel tired and my eyes are “sticky”. Tonight, after heading to bed … Keep reading
Fable: The Lost Chapters
What the hell? Why in the world would Lionhead Studios release extra content for Fable (an x-box only game), but only release it on PC? There is no way that I’m paying another $50 just to get a few extra … Keep reading
Trillian profiles under Windows XP
Recently, I tried to set up Trillian for some friends of mine, who both have an account on a single computer running XP. The problem is that by default, Trillian doesn’t allow you to have different XP accounts have different … Keep reading
Qwest vs. Comcast
I sat down the other day to call Qwest and Comcast to find out what my options are for internet access. I was expecting to find that DSL would be a little cheaper, but that cable would be able to … Keep reading
Hacked
Well, there may be some changes coming down the pipe. I didn’t upgrade my wordpress installations fast enough last time, and some fuckers hacked my shell account and have been using my account to send out truckloads of spam. Luckily, … Keep reading

Home Sick
Stayed home sick today. Went to bed early and got 12+ hours of sleep, but still feel like shit. Probably because of waking up every couple of hours. The only good news is my nose isn’t runny any more, it’s … Keep reading
Outlaw Biker
PostSecret is an incredible website that displays postcards that people send in with their secrets written on them. This is one of the light-hearted ones. This is not.
And an apology would be nice…
This is the email I sent to ReadySetConnect.com tonight. I cancelled my service with them in February, but I’m still getting billed, and they don’t offer any way to contact them besides email. (If you’re in a hurry, you can … Keep reading
Stupid Apartment Managers
USPS finally delivered my copy of Jade Empire today, but I’m not playing it right now. That’s because the apartment offices (where the package was left) are closed, even though their posted hours are 9am to 9pm. They’ve been closed … Keep reading

Food Stamps
We applied for food stamps last week. The online application took four hours to complete. It was about 50 pages of questions covering everything from medical history to work and financial situations. Each page took about a minute to submit … Keep reading
Insurance Pains
Isurance is lame. I have learned more about insurance in the last month than I ever wanted to know. I called different providers, asked questions, compared quotes online, learned about different types of insurance and learned vocabulary. And what I’ve … Keep reading
On the homefront… where Coors is king…
Since Scott has taken his game playing to a computer far far away, I have had to feed myself for once… so after braving the lamest mall ever, I decided the other night to try a little local place in … Keep reading
