I have put off too much stuff for far too long. In order to have one more thing checked off my list, I am writing an update blog. Sorry for the list-like format and sorry to anyone who accidentally clicked on this blog hoping for some kind of interesting information. I have none. I have nothing of interest for anyone who is not a close friend, and even the most hardy of them will be hard put to refrain from yawning as they read this. Last night at 8pm I was possessed of the desire ...
Kurt von Behrmann wrote a very nice review of Object Desktop. Check it out!
Stardock is moving to a new office currently. The move is happening over the course of a couple of weeks, and obviously moving can be a stressful time for anyone. Mormegil, who is already working out of the new office, took this picture with his camera phone. Kind of makes all the effort worthwhile! Check out the link below!
I saw it over the weekend. Frankly I think the popcorn at my local theater is getting better. Usually it has the same taste and consistency as salty cardboard but this time there was a little bit of butter flavoring to it that really brought out the subtlety of the cardboard. Not too salty either. I don't like it when you pop a piece in your mouth and the texture is gritty from salt. Sometimes when popcorn gets old and you crunch a piece just right it sounds like fingernails on a chalkboard and...
It is snowing. It started yesterday morning and it continues now. It is sticking. The weather guy says it will continue for the rest of the day, but should turn in to snow tomorrow. And here I thought it was spring, what with the leaves coming out on the trees and flowers blooming. Silly me. In other news it was my anniversary yesterday. We've been married for 6 years and together for 10. What a guy he is. I could write long articles and sonnets devoted to him, but he'd just be...
Recently I received a check for $40 in the mail - a rebate from Best Buy. A few years ago I would immediately have gotten into the car and driven to the bank to deposit the check because I was about to be overdrawn. I no longer have to do things like that. In fact, the check sat on the counter and then at some point it disappeared. What the...? I looked for it, and then realized where it must be. Yes, there, in the green garbage can that lurks in the corner. Am...

No computer...what will I do? Fighting down a sense of rising panic... No Internet connection or telelvision at home - f*** you Charter - for over 2 weeks. And now work computer is hosed, at least temporarily. It seems to me that the world is trying to tell me something. Isn't it amazing, (or perhaps a better word is pathetic) how much of our lives revolve around technology? During the fall of 2003 I was living close to San Bernardino, California (so don't mess with me, I'm from the 'h...
It is snowing. SNOWING, I tell you. It's been snowing hard since about 1:00 pm today, and it's now sticking. It is pretty - it's like being in a snowglobe. Snowing.
We've moved. I am tired and sore and wish I was sleeping right now, but we have moved from our crappy 1 bedroom apartment to a big house in the little woods. (We have a few trees out back). As of yet we have no driveway, because the ground is currently frozen and therefore they cannot in good conscious pour us the driveway and so we will have to wait until spring. Same with the lawn - no landscaping until spring. Which means muddy doggie feet. We try and keep them off th...
SO, YOU’RE A FAILURE. Congratulations! You’ve realized that you are a f***ing failure. Most people go through life never becoming aware that they a losers and should go die somewhere in a corner, and thus they perpetuate the cycle of losership. You, on the other hand, have suddenly woken up and cried your eyes out one day because you have failed at life. Good. Chances are you will continue to be a loser, but since you are now conscious and aware you will fight the system – unless y...
We closed on our house yesterday, and have already started to befoul it. So very happy. And tired. And broke. But happy.
I don't know who wrote this originally, but I got this via e-mail and had to share. Creation Story: In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth and populated the Earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow and red vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives. Then using God's great gifts, Satan created Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream and Krispy Creme Donuts. And Satan said, "You want chocolate with that?"...
