  • Big Love

    Watching Big Love with Katie. I think polygamy is interesting. Of course, there is the down side of the bickering, but the upside is nice too. You don’t have to worry about “in the mood” issues. More people to clean up is good. The only problem is the money. I don’t make enough to support…

  • Little Things

    The new RoboCut arrived (the old one broke when it tried to cut Jared’s thick hair). I cut my hair this morning and Katie says it looks good. I also cut Matt’s hair. His face looks alot bigger now. Tonight, it’s Jared and Ethan’s turn. Tom Delay retired from the Congress. I am happy, because…

  • Once Again

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12077417/?from=ET Once again. What the hell is wrong with these people? The more I think about it, the more I feel society is DE-volving. Every business and government decision is moving us backwards. Every story about people makes me retch. Ugh. What the hell?

  • Amusing Lines

    Setup: On NPR they had a story about Iraq. Here is the summary. Outlawed under Saddam Hussein’s rule, a Shia custom that allows a man to marry a woman for a short period of time has become increasingly popular in Iraq since the American invasion. But critics say it’s nothing more than religiously sanctioned prostitution.…

  • Prediction Results

    Not bad, but not perfect. HSX got all of them right except Best Picture. It was funny too, because we had all but concluded that HSX was 100% accurate. Definetely need to figure out what happened. The good news was that I was planning on dong the dishes anyway to help out around the house.…

  • Oscar 2006 Predictions

    Based on the book I am reading, The Wisdom of Crowds, I believe that the Hollywood Stock Exchange will predict every single Oscar winner accurately. Best Picture – Brokeback Mountain Best Director – Ang Lee for Brokeback Mountain Best Actor – Philip Seymour Hoffman in Capote Best Actress – Reese Witherspoon in Walk the Line…

  • Crash

    Katie and I recently watched Crash. Katie ad I liked the movie alot. It was a study on people’s motivations and the cause/effect relationships people have. It shows how someone becomes the way they are, especially in irrational moments. However, there was one scene. The one with the little girl. Both Katie and I YELPED…

  • Next Book

    I just finished The Paradox of Choice. Somewhere in the middle of the book it switched from being an information architecture/usability/psychology book into a self-help book for coping with depression. All good interesting stuff, but I was given the book by a usability expert and thought it could have been more targeted for my needs.…

  • Fun

    Here is a fun link: Rock Paper Saddam. I am working now on setting up PowWeb. So far, nice customer service. I am somewhat excited to get rid of all of my hosting requirements and sell the servers. Lots of little details to work out though. It’s fun.

  • Happy New Year 2006

    A quick note on Flickr. I have completely lost the faith. In general, it is a good service. The problem is that it doesn’t scale. We have 2500 pictures from 1999-2005. Flickr only gives you the option of creating sets on one level. The way it renders these pages is just not effective when you…

  • Boys in da hood by Dynamite Hack

    This song is just hillarious. I am copying the entire lyrics here. Woke up quick at about noon Just thought that I had to be in Compton soon I gotta get drunk before the day begins Before my mother starts bitchin’ about my friends About to go and damn near went blind Young niggaz on…

  • Random

    Need more time to buy gifts this year. I got something nice for Katie, but the problem is that Katie sees all of the credit card purchases in Quicken. I think that is cheating. I need to get gifts for other people too. We are both behind. The boys are quite a handful these days,…
