A Modest Proposal

I was doing some thinking this morning, which is always a dangerous proposition. Specifically I was thinking about Easter. And for some reason, the thought popped into my head “What am I going to dress as for Easter”, as if Easter were Halloween. That entertained me for a few seconds, and I moved on. But [...]

Congrats

I don’t know how much I’m at liberty to say, but today could be viewed as a somewhat big day. So I’d like to say congrats to all of those involved! Everyone else, sorry for the mystery. But that is fun, right?

Lemonade Chicken

I was bored the other night, and looking for something to cook. So I looked in my fridge, and then I looked in my freezer, and saw 2 things. Chicken and lemonade. A decided to combine them with some garlic and other stuffs to see what I could get. Well I’m here to tell you [...]

Big Numbers

I think people have problems understanding big numbers, and this is illustrated by the current uproar over the bonuses that AIG payed out. AIG payed out 165 Million dollars in bonuses. AIG has taken in around 130 Billion in bailout money from the government. So that is like… LESS THAN ONE PERCENT. If you gave [...]

2 Shows

Okay, so remember a while ago I was talking about how I wonder if there are shows out there that are awesome and I miss them until it is too late? Well I’ve discovered 2 new ones, and I’m pretty sure I’m early on the bandwagon with them. So early, in fact, that I’m afraid [...]

Happy Birthday

Happy birthday, Alex. It must really suck to be as old as you are. I’m glad that I am young and virile.

Random Things That I Like

This is a random post discussing some of the things that have been making me happy lately. – The fact that my 10 pound dog gets all irate and acts like she can actually intimidate the 5 ton garbage truck. 2) The video for “I’m On A Boat”. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7yfISlGLNU c: Thinking about the gokarting that [...]

I Apologize

The day before I went to California last week it was cold. Like in the 40s. And then the day that I left, it got up into the 70s. While I was in California, the temperature was pretty much in the 50s the entire time. Not cold, but not exactly warm. Certainly not what people [...]

Normal

I think that I am a pretty normal person. I mean, I have some pretty odd personality quirks, but if anything, I think that makes me even more normal. What is it to be human if you aren’t a little weird, right? So yeah, I’m a little strange, but I’m mostly “normal”. Except for one [...]

Ridiculous

I got the following email about a new cost cutting measure here at work: Hello all, An item from the Suggestion Box said we should stop using university funds to purchase facial tissues. As a result, ITS will no longer be supplying Kleenex’s for individual offices/desks. Kleenex will still be provided in common areas like [...]

California

I’m leaving Friday to visit California again. I’m really excited, but I’m not really sure what I’m going to do. Last time I was out there, I’m pretty sure that I did everything there is to do. We went to the computer history museum. We went to the airplane museum. We ate Indian food. So [...]
