Idiotic Windows Users

I realize my Mac friends will think the title of this is utterly redundant, and I would generally be forced to agree on some level, but I also use a Windoze PC besides my trusty Macintosh. (In this article when I refer to PC, I am referring to Windows based PCs. I am all for […]

Anna Nicole Smith Dead

Yeah. I realize it’s a sad time for her troubled family. I am not criticizing her in this post nor am I judging her. I just have one question. Why is this national news? It’s a tragedy when one of my relatives dies, but why does anyone care — it certainly doesn’t make the paper. […]

Terabyte HD and the CD Ripping Project Update

In three previous posts to date: one, two, and three, I’ve commented on this project. As of right now, I’m at 23.5 days of continuous music, representing over 8300 songs and counting.

Eviscerating My Yard with an Endoscopy at Work

First, my lawn was eviscerated by the lawn people: the same lawn people that do our common areas. Only they aren’t my lawn people, and they came on to my property, and hacked my beautiful shrubbery to death with what I would assume was a chainsaw. It’s the latest picture on my Flickr blog if […]

Roof News and Cat News with an Acid Reflux Kicker

Weird combination, I know. In the good news department, my roof today passed its final inspection. Blown away around 29 October 2005 by that bitch, Hurricane Wilma whilst I was in China. Installed by BET Roofing over a grueling 16 months, and finished and passed final inspection 13 February 2007. Now, I have to pay […]
