Yeah, no random ten on Friday; I was busy doing Friday things…things I couldn’t necessarily do before I was doing an alternate work schedule (4 x 10 hrs, Fridays off). This works for me. Anyway, for now I’m sitting here on the front porch waiting for some trick or treaters to arrive…so far, it seems […]
Sort of settling into a routine now; hope it’ll get a little more regular next week. No big plans for the weekend; probably just going to continue cleaning and take a couple of bike rides (did fifteen miles this morning; felt very good after spotty gym access this week). And now for the pre-school’s favorite […]
More than once, I’ve lauded the President for his initiatives to promote math and science education in America. Promoting academic achievement as something worthwhile and beneficial is something this country always ought to be doing. So of course, I’m going to point out the news today that President Obama is going to be making an […]
thanks to twitter, I have learned that the whole Lolcat phenomenon is actually more than 100 years old. Turns out that the first person to take a picture of a cat and affixing a silly caption to it was Harry Pointer, a photographer from Brighton, UK.

Does this surprise me? Not in the least. Gran Turismo 5 is delayed…again. This game has been in a constant state of “delayed” for most of the PS3 life cycle now – the “totally official this time we mean it guys, really” release date was supposed to be November 2, 2010, though now, apparently, it’s […]
Those paying attention have probably noticed that for the last month and change, I haven’t been posting much, and when I have posted, I’ve dropped little hints about things happening that I didn’t necessarily want to talk about it. At this point, I feel it’s safe to talk about those things, at least in general […]
Stuff is happening. Good stuff. I’ll cover it in a separate post a little later. Here are some tunes. “A Certain Romance” – Arctic Monkeys “Our American Cousin” – Molly Lewis “Goodbye” – Patty Griffin “Radio Romance” – Tiffany “When You’re Gone” – The Cranberries “Slave” – Syn D’ Cats “Come All You Sailors” – […]
…but I have to admit that today, I’m having a good hair day, a good clothes day, a decent body day…I actually kind of look good.* All that biking might actually be working for me a little bit. _______________ * – for certain values of “good” which allow for thirtysomething nerdy balding guys built on […]
