https://www.beecavebee.com/9rsawh937 I was talking to my wife recently about music. She mentioned that she doesn’t like Nirvana, because it puts her in a dark mood. Discussions about the value of Kurt Cobain’s music notwithstanding, it’s impossible to deny that he could express his torturous depression impeccably in his music. What really stuck with me in our discussion, however, was that music … Read more
https://www.suitupmaine.org/71f54xidlm Remember the original Revenge of the Nerds? It was an absurd 80’s movie. Some may say cult classic, some might say lame — some might say both. Anyway, there’s one line in the end, when Ogre joins the nerds, in which a drug induced nerd says, “What if along with infinite bigness, is infinite smallness?” That’s followed by Ogre’s famous … Read more
https://baixacultura.org/2025/02/01/49rl1pe5k0 It’s a little disheartening to think about the vastness of space, especially in contrast to the shortness of our lives. We talk about a “close” star being only 50 light years away — but holy cow. If my mother sent a message when I was born, I’d be dead before the congratulations ever got back from E.T. Our 90ish years … Read more

The idea is that it will make them all very thankful for Thanksgiving. We decided to do … Read more

We were forced to go on welfare, my pregnant wife was forced to take a job bussing tables at a local restaurant, and we were the recipients of holiday food baskets, etc. It was a humbling time, … Read more
https://www.beecavebee.com/ywgyb47h1 Well, I got a Windows Vista install DVD at a conference I was just at. I tried to install it, using MICROSOFT’s own Virtual PC on my Apple laptop. I did have to do some odd tweaking to get it to begin the install, but I thought I was on my way to Vista Preview Goodness. I was wrong. The … Read more
Pretty bold question, I know. Seriously though, almost any parent would *die* for their child without hesitation. A parent’s love transcends morality, responsibility, and do-gooding. The love a parent has for their child is indescribable, and is the only way we get a glimpse of the Lord’s love for us. Therein lies my dilemma. See, we’re clearly told to love … Read more
Here’s the long version of what happened Friday regarding the file server. If you’re not interested, by all means just ignore this. It’s for informational purposes only. I was scheduled to work Thursday night 3rd shift. My plan was to apply security patches, run updates, scan hard drives, etc., on servers. Pretty much the stuff that can’t be done during … Read more
