I could watch this all day long…

The best webcam I’ve ever seen - Hornby Island, Bald Eagle Nest. I got a chance to see the pair switch off on their egg-sitting duties and even heard one of them let out some little cries. Amazing. I am in awe of birds, and really must get around to processing some of the great [...]

Juggling fool

Back in college, one of my roommates wanted to learn how to juggle. I forget how it all started, but it eventually became a big thing among a group of us. I think I got into it simply to prove that my roommate was going about the process all wrong. Regardless, a number of us [...]

Firefox gone bad?

I just wrote a post. Well, almost. About three or four paragraphs in, I wanted to check something in another tab. BAM - Firefox decides to stop responding. Oh yeah, it freezes up spectacularly. There’s absolutely no indication why, and it just keeps beeping everytime I try to click on anything. So much for that [...]

On the right side of the law

Because I like it when a crappy story turns out ok, the woman I mentioned who had her lost camera stolen by a family finally got it back. One of those rare occasions when a relatively unknown law actually helps someone :P .

Hooray for data recovery!

My server hard drives are acting up again. Serves me right (pun not-so-intended) for trusting drives that had previously shown signs of failure. So it’s time to look for deals on replacements as they are certainly out of warranty. CompUSA has a great price on a 250GB SATA drive going on (only 60 bucks after [...]

The whip

Many years ago, a couple of my sisters bought me a whip while traveling out West. It’s odd enough that siblings would purchase a whip for me, but I am now left with the position of finding a location for said whip. For relatively innocuous reasons it has ended up in a storage area in [...]

Quick blog-by

Just an update on various subjects left hanging:

The house is coming along just fine, thank you very much. I know that’s the number one question that people seem to have. And the follow-up is usually about pictures. I’ve been taking a lot, and will be posting more this weekend to let people see the progress. [...]

Great Zombie Cookie Monster!

Spamusement is always great for a laugh, but for some reason the latest guest comic has had me chuckling all day.

Y’all got the Internet on that thang?

I really want to head down to SXSW someday - but that’s not likely anytime soon with the way my financial and personal life are going. In the meantime, I’m very happy to get to listen to Heather Armstrong (Dooce) and Jason Kottke’s keynote speech while I work. It’s interesting enough that I might actually [...]

Can’t win all the time

Oh well, didn’t get tickets for the Jersey show today. Actually, I could have had tickets for the 6/1 show, but I really just wanted to go 6/3. So I tossed them back in the mix for other people. I figured that would be better than plunking down another 100+ bucks on a night I [...]
