shawnp0wers I landed in Pellston, and I’m awaiting my ride home. Pellston is an awesome airport, and has free WiFi. That is not true of either Detroit or Houston airports. They have coffee shops though, so I guess I won’t complain too much. Lots of details about Houston and the flights later. My right ear wouldn’t pop, or depressurize, or whatever … Read more
I’ll have a total recap later (maybe tomorrow, depending on how the flights go), but I’m on my way home soon. It’s been an awesome trip, but I can’t WAIT to see the family. My family. Not some mob thing that I have to see Uncle Vinny or anything…
I got to talk to the family this morning with Skype’s video chat. Video really does make it more personal. And Skype works so darn well that the process is painless. If you commute, do you Skype with your family? You should try it…
In Houston. Very tired. Very awesome here, but I’m very tired. Going to sleep now. Frito Pie So this is my introduction to Houston cuisine. Perhaps my shirt is fitting? Posted on Natuba

I’m offline for a bit, while I don’t eat. I’ll take my medicine, even if I can’t update here. 🙂 UPDATE: Going well, update after it’s over. (I had to run home to get the CF card reader, our camera filled up)
Pictured here, you see McDonald’s new “Sweet Tea”, which apparently is meant to add to the Southern Style menu that is fashionable of late. I like tea. I like sugar. Sweet tea, however, mixes the two ingredients in an unholy ratio. While I haven’t scientifically measured, I estimate the sugar-to-tea ratio is about eleventy five bajillion to one. I’ve eaten … Read more
Here it is, episode 1 of the podcast. I considered calling this episode zero — because really there’s very little content. Then I realized that if the expectation of real content is established, I might be in trouble somewhere around episode “the next” 🙂 To donate 4 minutes of your life to pointless endeavors, just click play below. NOTE: I … Read more
Ok, my blog has been not much fun for me the past few days, so I’m resolving to have fun here. No more politics (my political views, for the record, are reflected here, and there will be some funny political “commercials” coming your way soon). No more metaphorical vegetable stories. No more BOFH type posts. At least until I feel … Read more
Yesterday was an interesting day for my website. A large number of people “discovered” my site, and more specifically, they discovered my Shawn’s List of Rules post. That was the first thing. The second thing that happened was a bunch of people got offended. Unfortunately, there was a subset of those people that truly shouldn’t have been offended, because I … Read more
