Since Blogger added the feature, I find myself depending on it in order to follow the location of conversations. If I’ve left you hanging on a thread somewhere, it’s just because … Read more
I just signed up for the Penguicon 6 convention in April. It will be my first science fiction con. It will also be my first Linux con. It will basically be my first con. I’m rather excited, and hope it will be fun. At the very least, I guess every room at the Hilton has WiFi, so I’ll be able … Read more
I’m home sick today. Actually, more than sick, I have a really sore left shoulder that won’t quit hurting. I find this bizarre, because I didn’t do anything to hurt my shoulder, and yet, it really does hurt like the dickens. Perhaps it’s sympathy pain for Jim Wright. (If so, I love ya man, but I’m not sure we’re this … Read more
God has a sense of humor. I know this, because I’m 32 years old, and while I was preparing to shoot this video, my forehead kindly grew 2 giant pimples. One was in the “unicorn” position, and the other was placed just right to accentuate my receding hairline. That’s just spiffy. So, like any filmmaker, I decided it was time … Read more
For a few years, I considered writing a book about my car accident. I’ve seen books about less exciting things. I haven’t ever done it, however, and I sorta doubt I ever will. This post might be all I ever write on the topic. (That seems so final doesn’t it?) On March 2, 1999, I was on my way to … Read more
I accidentally ate a whole bag of Chex Mix. And yeah, it really was an accident. I sat down on the couch after work, and sitting on the coffee table was an open bag of Chex Mix. Without thinking, I grabbed it, and proceeded to eat the whole thing. (Not the actual bag, I don’t want to be that guy…) … Read more
For the next couple days, I’m doing a “trial run” for a part-time permanent gig related to the publishing world. It’s super exciting, slightly overwhelming, and on the short list of careers I would find ideal. Not bad for a Monday. 🙂 Oh, and I didn’t do too bad today with eating. I did horrible with exercise though, in that … Read more
OK, so here’s the deal: I’m currently claiming more than my fair share of matter in the universe. I’ve had this struggle before, and it’s usually due to stress at work. (Well, ok, it’s indirectly due to stress at work, it’s actually due to eating lots of food and being a lazy SOB) It’s not that I’m terribly vain, and … Read more
Did you know Nathan had a blog? Yeah, you probably did. I however missed that train when it started. Oh well, I found out, so all you guys trying to hide over at Nathan’s house won’t work anymore. 🙂
I was complaining a while back, probably on someone else’s blog, about when I search for my name on Google, I get a chiropractor and a pheasant hunting guide. Tonight, I realized it’s because I didn’t actually have my name anywhere here. It’s surprising Google found me at all! So yeah, I’m narcissistic, and I put my name in the … Read more
