OpenOffice and the road to legality
Filed in blog, Fri, 26 Mar 2004, 11:57 amSo I’m tired of using pirated software. I like the idea of giving money/support to well-coded and well-designed pieces of software that actually do what I want them to, rather than “stealing” whatever is considered the standard application. The first to go was Microsoft Office. To be honest, I technically have a license for Windows [...]
The ignorance of non-hockey fans
Filed in blog, Wed, 24 Mar 2004, 5:06 pmSorry Stephen Cannella, but calling people who don’t follow the NHL ignorant isn’t exactly going to bolster a sport on the verge of dying. I realize he was trying to say that people just don’t understand the sport, but using a word with such negative connotations will draw the ire of those he labels. The [...]
1000journals
Filed in blog, Tue, 23 Mar 2004, 8:51 amInteresting art/social project going on at 1000journals. Basically they’ve put 1000 journals out into the world and allowed people to contribute to them in any way they see fit. This started back in 2000 and so far only one book has returned. Still, that’s pretty impressive to even get one back, and they still keep [...]
Little piggie nails
Filed in blog, , 12:58 amNot that I consider myself a tough guy or anything, but I still find it somewhat embarrassing at what a little girl I turn into when it comes to animals. I gush over my guinea pigs, but worse than that is how nervous I get when it comes to certain procedures. I refer to the [...]
Show me the piggies!
Filed in blog, Fri, 19 Mar 2004, 5:08 pmI know what you all must be thinking - I neglect this site too much. There hasn’t been a gallery update in months, and (in spite of my claims to the contrary) I haven’t put many pictures on the front page either. So then you say, “How the hell are we supposed to see these [...]
It’s actually quite beautiful outside
Filed in blog, Wed, 17 Mar 2004, 5:43 pmOk, the drive home sucked yesterday. Idling on Route 46 for half an hour, terrified to hit my brakes that I might skid off the road is no way to start off a commute home. And the worst part is that in spite of my exhaustion I still stayed up way too late and had [...]
Hunting Naked Women
Filed in blog, Mon, 15 Mar 2004, 6:13 pmI can’t say that I think this latest extreme sport has any worthwhile value, but why even bother getting upset about it. There are certainly far more horrible things going on in this world than some loser paying $10k to shoot a naked woman with a paintball. Have they looked at the spam in their [...]
Just crossing my fingers
Filed in blog, , 5:26 pmThe decision on TO should be made tomorrow (after a delay). Until then I’m just enjoying some of the commentary about other free agents and potential trades. The best line so far has got to be from Pro Football Talk’ Rumor Mill regarding the Cowboys acquiring Drew Henson:
As to the team that acquired Henson, [...]
Baltimore and a lost sense of humor
Filed in blog, Fri, 12 Mar 2004, 9:28 amI’m still not gonna comment on the Eagles’ offseason moves until the whole T.O. ordeal is decided this weekend. However, there is still more to be said about the idiocy of the Eagles Message Board. The instant you disagree with the organization, express respect for another team, or contemplate the possibility of the team not [...]
All the good movies are limited release
Filed in blog, , 8:58 amI can’t believe Sony made this movie, but I just saw a traile for The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra and all I can say is I’m hooked. Go to the site and it’s instantly understood that this movie is a total parody of all the cheesy sci-fi films from the 50’s that you now see [...]
