I watched Alien last night and didn’t finish up until after 11pm. My wife is out of town so I have the whole house to myself. Besides being freaked out by the little noises of the house, I spent some time thinking about the movie and something that was a little strange. When Ripley discovers [...]
It Is Pitch Dark You are likely to be eaten by a grue. If this predicament seems particularly cruel, consider whose fault it could be: not a torch or a match in your inventory. It got narrated at you in the second person. Every time you booted up, it seemed you got another version of [...]
I had applied to be a writer for an online company that provided writing services. After some research, I discovered that there was no legitimiate business beyond providing essays to college students, which I think is a deplorable practice. Because of how easy it is for an online publisher (blogger) like myself to have their [...]
I’ve had a lot of fun building a small website, which I’m calling “EZ Smiley”. You can see it here. Basically, you can just click to build a Smiley, and it will build it immediately. No more hitting submit like on those other smiley generators. They suck compared to this. You click on a body, [...]
Well, I’ve been doing a lot of web-related projects lately, including registering my own sites and building them from the ground up. Yeah, the big dot com boom came and went years ago, but the internet isn’t going away anytime soon. Have you ever heard of Guitar Hero (and the sequels, Guitar Hero II, Guitar [...]
We finally moved out of our cramped 1-bedroom Parker apartment with the noisy neighbors. I haven’t mentioned them before? Well, regardless, we had neighbors who played loud music at all hours of the night, any night, and we had other neighbors who complained when we had our TV volume up too high at 10:30pm. So [...]
As promised before, I will be posting pictures from the cross-country drive that was necessary to get from North Carolina to Colorado (via Canada.) However, I need to copy the files over to my new computer (an Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 from CyberpowerPC) from the wife’s computer. To whet your appetite, I do have [...]
If anyone still reads this site, beyond the bots that post about manhood enhancements and free electronics, you may have noticed I installed a new theme and actually put up a new post. Well, this would make two new posts, technically. I expect to update a bit more frequently this year. I’ve been a real [...]
As we greet the new year, we traditionally hear or sing Auld Lang Syne, the poem that Bobby Burns scribed over two centuries ago. Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and auld lang syne? Another year older, another year of memories, another year of friends and [...]
Check, check. One, two, three. How’s that? Good. It’s been a while since we’ve talked. Over five weeks ago, back in April, my wife and I packed up the house in Fayetteville, put most of our belongings in storage, and started living out of a suitcase. It’s now June and we’re finally settled into an [...]
