Gay for Johnny Depp

Anyone who thinks that I often have way too obscure taste in music needs to check out Other Music. Their updates tend to make me look like some sort of Britney Spears/Limp Bizkit butt puppet. This week, for example, included an ad for a band that, at the very least, Jen could appreciate (well, me [...]


Allison’s starting to happen

I did, in fact, reward myself with a little bit o’ the Nag’s last night. And my, what an excellent decision that was. There were only a couple people I knew when I walked in, and they were stuck at the front of the bar, so I decided to wander down to the other end [...]


Do the body good

Lisa and I have been saying we would start exercising and eating better any day now. Well, at the very least we’ve been eating better these days in the form of doing our own cooking (at least Lisa has been). So the last two nights we’ve been working on the exercise portion. For now it’s [...]


Oh Lord won’t you buy me a Gmail account?

Everybody wants one - well, everybody except Max Thrane that is. That’s right, Max is bucking the trend and writing about why he hates Gmail. And honestly, I can’t blame him. I decided I would really like to get one for myself (to try out, and of course to preserve the uniqueness that is indieb0i) [...]


Day Off

I’ve been somewhat quiet, but I have a lot to say these days. I just haven’t had the time to say it. I’m busy at work finalizing network designs and I’m busy at home looking for a new place for Lisa and I. We’ve got something or another to do pretty much everyday. I haven’t [...]

Funny thing happened on the way…

… to upgrading my company’s firewalls. Fedora Core 2 now runs the brand-spankin’ new Linux 2.6 family of kernels. That’s pretty cool, I’ve been waiting for that to be “mainstream ready”. Hey, that even includes builtin IPSEC for real VPNs. Alright! That means it no longer includes support for CIPE. Crap! That’s how my old [...]

Radio Daze

I found myself listening to the radio far more than usual yesterday. Lisa got me into the habit of putting on oldies or classic rock stations, but this time it was a bit different. I switched to WFMU, and began listening to the “Inner Ear Detour” - what ended up being the last regularly scheduled [...]


Can life get any better?

I went to Target last night. Much to my surprise, I found two Philips DVP-642’s sitting on their shelves. Now I know what you’re probably thinking. Probably something along the lines of “Oh my God, you actually managed to get your hands on one of those amazingly sexy units! How the hell did that happen?!?!” [...]
