I provide technical support for a dozen or so people on an ad hoc basis. I have recommended software to people countless times. I have supported the Microsoft view of the world and Windows software for 20 years. I have never installed Linux (sorry Aunt Susie). This article shows the…
It’s good to be back home. Its nice and temperate. I love our house. It feels so comfortable. Now if only we could clean out the garage and put everything away. Maybe I could make the crib too. And hang up some pictures. Good to be back at work too.…
We were scheduled to fly out of JFK on Saturday, but 30 inches of snow conspired to keep us on the east coast. The first flight JetBlue could reschedule us was Tuesday morning. So we need to get up tomorrow at 5am to pack and get the car to the…
Yes, the Jets somehow lost the game. But let me start at the beginning. My brother scheduled his wedding at the exact time of the game against Pittsburgh. I told him not to do it, but would he listen? No. Nice brother huh? So my only link to the game…
The Jets won in a roller coaster game! Woo hoo! One step closer to the superbowl! You know…I think I predicted a superbowl win this year. As a matter of fact, I predicted it on September 10, 2004, at 2:08pm. Two days before the season started. God told me so.…
CNN has apparently decided to cancel Crossfire as reported by the New York Times. They apparently cite John Stewart of the Daily Show when he said that point-counterpoint style shows are “hurting America”. This is a HUGE coup for Comedy Central. I am proud of them. Comedy is the only…
I think I am much happier when I can be productive. When my efforts do not go towards the progress of something, I feel frustrated and tense. I think maintenance of things is important, but the feeling of creative production is so fullfilling to me. This is a double-edged sword.…
I’m happy to be back at work. The holidays are such work. So without getting into the details…we all had a good time, and I got a cool remote control. 🙂 Something interesting…I was explaining to Ethan what a “year” means. I showed him using his light (on his bedroom…
Handling things wrong again today. I want to say all the right things. Be the one with vision and foresight. And I keep saying the wrong things. My mojo is way off. Here is an example: I know from years of experience at Koko that small companies often make the…
I am in a bad mood today. Maybe it’s biorhythms. Maybe my body chemistry is wreaking havoc on my disposition. Although it’s tempting to think so, I think it is not my body chemistry. I think something is inside of my brain that is itching. Some anger or fear or…
Happy Solstice everybody! This is the time of year that Katie and Glen try to explain our holiday celebrations. Usually we fail to make people understand. But, hey, there is always next year. Here is my synopsis in bullet point form: We are celebrating the Winter Solstice on Dec 25,…
First, I assume that I am completely right, logical and thoughtful. Second, I remember that all my assumptions are suspect. JibJab is funny by the way. They do such a good job with production quality. Oh and try out this awesome new Google Suggest Beta. Very impressive use of XMLHttpRequest.
I started The Power Broker this morning. At almost 1200 pages, it is daunting. It won the Pulitzer, so I am hoping it is worth the ride. On the child front, Jared is a pain in the butt. His answer to EVERY question is no. Want to go outside? No.…
Just finished Between Silk and Cyanide. Leo Marks certainly had an interested few years during WWII. I found myself feeling jealous. As a child, I always thought I had a destiny. A part to play in something important. That I would make my mark on the world somehow. 1995-2002 was…
