Where was I?

Before I go on to updating you on various things, congratulations to Mr. Obama for winning the primary. Yo, Hillary, just give it up. I will be honest and say my candidate of choice did not make it far in this election. He’s long gone. Actually, my real candidate of choice didn’t even run. So […]

John McCain on John McCain

My, oh my, oh my. Yes, now this YouTube video is another great one. A few days ago, I published Olbermann’s amazing rant on Bush. (Also included below in this post). Well, if you don’t believe McCain is just more Bush in a different wrapper, allow me to present the ultimate expert on the subject: […]

Dell Still Swallows

Not much to report. My hard drive has arrived at CBL for repair. UPS didn’t lose or misdirect it this time around. Yay 🙂 I’m still sick and now I’ve got a cough. Dad picked up my prescription at the doctor instead of having it faxed like I asked. So now I’ve got to get […]

Welcome to a New Sponsor and Stuff

First, a warm welcome to my new sponsor www.guidetoonlineschools.com which is sponsoring some technology related posts in my blog. They picked this post first and may add other posts if they feel they’re doing well. As always, fees paid are not disclosed. I’m not getting rich, but that isn’t what this blog is about. I’ve […]

Indiana Jones And The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Long day. Dad called early and woke me up asking if I could find him an earlier flight home. I gave this off to Karen. No dice for Dad. Last minute flights on Memorial Day are just a fantasy. Yes, I saw Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull today with The Higgi […]

Why Apple Rocks (Thanks Paul)

Apple Rocks. I always say that in my other blog posts. So you know, I am basically a happy Apple camper. However today is a fine example of why Apple Rocks More. As you may remember I had an issue with my new monitor wherein I plugged it into my firewire port and everything stopped […]

Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspain (also My Hard Drive)

I saw the new Narnia flick today with Timmy. I rather enjoyed it, perhaps more than the first one because it was a little less preachy. I understand that by nature a Narnia film shall be preachy because that’s pretty much what the whole thing’s about. START SPOILERS Most everything I wrote in the first […]

Vegas Trip Summary

As you know it was a trade show that brought me to Las Vegas on Saturday morning for a stay until Wednesday. The weekend was Greg and Gaby’s 15th anniversary, and perversely, they invited me and Austri to spend it with them. We met up with them around 5pm Saturday for an early dinner at […]

Little Brother by Cory Doctorow (Book Review)

This part is spoiler free. I was with Adrian at Barnes & Nobles a few weeks ago while he looked for a copy of the new Vladimir Tod novel, when I saw a book sitting there. I wasn’t going to pick it up because it just didn’t seem interesting. But, on the cover was a […]

Why Cal Still Rocks

I am no apologist when it comes to homerism and the University of California at Berkeley. It is widely regarded as one of the best schools in the world, and on many of those lists it is declared the best university in the world beating out the rest, so says even the London Times. I […]
