Cases in point: 1. I dropped Ethan off at school and lost Jared. I started to panic and get frantic. I went to the school office and they put out the APB. He is quickly found. Jared, where did you go? He said, "I had to go poop!" ugh. The…
Of course, the minute I say Storm Large is cool, she gets the old heave ho. She got kicked off the island! Her website is unavailable now. Apparently, it got slammed after her dismissal. Oh well, she still had a few great songs. Next week is the last show. Who…
I have a guilty pleasure. It is RockStar SuperNova. I have to admit, I like it alot. I didn’t want to like it. Dave Navaro is retarded and the SuperNova guys (Gilby Clarke, Tommy Lee and Jason Newstead) but damn it, I really am hooked. I liked Lukas at first,…
We just got back from a 10 day adventure to the east coast. We spent the first 5 days in Lake George with Danny, Dad, Me and all wives/kids. It was a good time. We went fishing and caught bass. We canoed on the lake. At one point, Abigail and…
Had a great conversation with Abigail about books. I suggested The Autobiography of Malcolm X. Lots happening. I am out of my regular schedule. This page from Don Norman caught my eye. I aspire one day to be on it. Read the part about Outlook. I had no idea this was…
I am thinking I should go Andre Agassi and shave my head. Or maybe I should just use the buzzer with one spacer and have it super short. Please vote. Shaved head or not.
Many designers use a particular set of latin for "dummy copy". It starts with, " "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet…". On a lark, I looked up it’s translation on this website. Apparently, it has been in use for 500 years. The translation is pretty surprising. Basically it is talking about…
I just read a passage in the book Flow. (page 148) I had to highlight it. Since childhood he had been fascinated with machinery of every kind. He was especially drawn to anything that wasn’t working properly: "Like when my mother’s toaster went on the fritz, I asked myself: ‘If…
I just got into work. The floor is dark. None of the lights are on. No one is here. Should I streak down the halls buck nekkit? Helllloooooooo! (echo) Fridays here are often like this. Reminds me of the night Andy and I played pool at Sporting Life. It was…
Getting a little comfortable with WordPress now. The way plugins work is actually pretty easy. I tried out a whole bunch of standard editor plugins. The reason for this is that the out-of-the-box WordPress does not include spell checking. I tried 5 different ones. Ajax Spell Checker EditorMonkey Visual.SpellCheck WYSI-Wordpress…
DirecTV sent me a letter. It looks like they finally figured out the legal issues and now can broadcast local channels in HD. This has been a big competitive pitch by the cable companies. So the letter said, 'Call us and we will hook you up with a new satellite…
There is a band called Lipkandy. That has Lipka in it. heh heh.
I had previously written (in 2004) that my goal was Wisdom. I think this was my 26th post. However, I want to log a few thoughts on intelligence. I had read somewhere that intelligence is the ability to see signal in what would otherwise be perceived as random noise. For…
I put Matthew down on his mattress on the floor next to our bed. He starts chanting. “dohwannaseep, Mama!” “dohwannaseep, Mama!” “dohwannaseep, Mama!” “dohwannaseep, Mama!” “dohwannaseep, Mama!” “dohwannaseep, Mama!” Insistent little guy. In wonderful news, my cousin Andy had his first child today! I know nothing of details yet.
