I’m posted before about how wonderful McDonald’s Premium Roast coffee tastes. I’ve also expressed how that seems to go against everything that’s right in the universe. I mean, really good coffee? From McDonald’s??!?!?!. But alas, it’s true. That being said, while they may understand how to brew good coffee, they apparently haven’t figured out physics. Or perhaps they haven’t figured … Read more
I know, it’s hard to believe, but this fine piece of 12 year old geek was single. Mind you, he had a TI-99/4A computer, a black and white television, and a laminated library card — but no woman could hold him down. In fact, it was so obvious to them, that none tried. 😀 I know they say size doesn’t … Read more
Monday is my birthday, which means I need to renew my license plates. I can’t decide which style to get. Let’s vote! Which Vanity Plate Looks Better?online surveys
Long ago, in a land not very dissimilar from our own, there were two little girls. Their names were Lagoria and Lizzanthia. The two sisters were particularly good one season, and at the Sun Harvest Festival, their father purchased them each a fairy scribe of their own. Fairy scribes, as you know, can not write words at all. They can … Read more
July should be the last month The Powers Family is displaced. This is something I find profoundly awesome. My birthday is on the 19th, and I would be quite happy for my belated birthday present to be a home. Also, school is out. ALSO, I’m half done with the super sekrit project I’ve been working on. (It’s a two part … Read more
I like Apple products. No, really. Yes I’m fanatical about Linux and open ideals, but Apple makes really nice hardware and software that “just works” well. Their products are expensive, but if the elegance is something you like, you’re willing to pay for that premium. And it’s a free market. So that’s OK. The thing that fascinates me is just … Read more
If you follow me on Twitter, you know that today I went fishing. It was the first time in about a decade that I’ve gone, and while I didn’t even get the slightest hint of a nibble, it was awesome! Then the day got better. I sent an email to the staff at school, and even on a holiday weekend … Read more
It’s Monday. If it’s not Monday when you read this, chances are it’s one of Monday’s six miserable siblings. Like my pasta-addicted buddy Garfield, I hate Monday. So here’s my tip to make Monday, or any other day, full of awesome. (Or at least less full of suck…) Pretend. Yep, that’s right, just pretend. Pretend you’re having a great day. … Read more
A bunch of my UCF friends have been posting songs all week on their blogs. Well, I wanna play too. Here’s Jonathan Coulton performing “The Future Soon”. His music is fun, well done, and pretty geeky. Enjoy, and Happy Friday!
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve enjoyed a good April Fool’s Day silliness as much as the next online person — but this year, I think the pranks just seem a bit too 2007. So I say, this year (and possibly the next 2010 years) we try to out-awkward each other. I declare today, “TMI Day!” I’m doing my TMI-ing on … Read more
