Racquettball is one of those sports you can play by yourself and not look like a loner or worse. Solo basketball games make you look a little like a loner, and one-man football just looks plain silly. The hard part about you-on-you games is the score. I’m not exactly sure how you’re supposed to determine… Continue reading Racquettball

Today’s Lesson
Today’s lesson is this: Walk not into the stinch of defacation. In yonder room of rest lurks your failed dignity. That is, don’t go into the stinky bathroom (especially when you notice it from the hallway) alone. If you happen to be the only one walking in, you will be blamed walking out. And your… Continue reading Today’s Lesson
The Incredibles
Amy and I saw The Incredibles last night at the Mall of Georgia. This was a really excellent computer-animated film. If it wasn’t two hours, it was a few minutes longer. The story was very funny; a retired clan of super-heroes is wrenched from their mundane life to wrestle evil foes once again. The non-super… Continue reading The Incredibles
Halo 2: First Look (Personally)
Last night we played a while at the office a good many rounds of Halo 2. We were hoping for more people, but the six we had was a good number to readjust to the new game. I bought a new, Logitech wireless controller for the festivities. It worked out very well all evening with… Continue reading Halo 2: First Look (Personally)
Tonight We Play!
Halo 2 is out, so of course I’ll be dining on bullets tonight. We’ve put together a nice team of players including some Microsoft folks. I’ll report how it went tomorrow – while blearly-eyed and nodding off at work.
5 New, Flavor-Filled, Sodas
Jones Soda, in their infinite wisdom of cuisine, has developed five new sodas for the Thanksgiving holiday. If you haven’t had one, you should. They’re delicious. However, I have not tasted any of the new holiday flavors, especially “Mashed Potatoes and Butter.” I ate buttered popcorn JellyBellies, so surely I can take a little juiced… Continue reading 5 New, Flavor-Filled, Sodas
MS-DOS 7.10
Now this is a good time! In case FreeDOS wasn’t cool enough for you, now you can get back to the original. I’m digging the 9MB bootable CD w/extra enhancements and a full installer.
T-Shirt Humor
Ed sends a great T-Shirt link to his ex-poultry business associates. Funny stuff. It’s just too bad I didn’t have it when we worked at ConAgra Foods Poultry Group or Pilgrim’s Pride.
Email the Homeless
A homeless man wrote to me the other day to comment on my site. I find this particularly odd that the homeless guy has email *and* browses the web in a non-utilitarian fashion. This particular homeless person knows me and my family, but it brings to light some interesting ideas to me. If someone can… Continue reading Email the Homeless
Bonus Room
I have a friend who’s completing a *bonus* room in his house. I’m not too sure about the bonus part, as he pretty much has to do all the work. It’s a neat concept though. I guess I kind of want the bonus house. That would give me ample time to experiment with the design… Continue reading Bonus Room
