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
Paradoxical Relevation
I’m thinking that every voter out there knows of one unique person that is voting for someone else in the presidential election. With that logic, all of our votes are just cancelling out. Shouldn’t elections always be 50/50? By the way, I took a great picture of maggots the other day that I think you’ll… Continue reading Paradoxical Relevation
Voting Day
It’s voting day at Eastern Standard Time in the United States. My friend, Brandon S., did some last minute campaigning yesterday evening over the phone. He’s certainly more into the political scene than I am, though that’s not saying terribly much. He did give me some additional useful information to help me pick a position… Continue reading Voting Day
Halloween @ Work
As is custom in many workplaces, today was a day of costume and creativity. Our campus was comprised of a number of people dressed-up in all manners. There was also a cube-decorating contest within each of our buildings. Being both a contractor and in temporary space, my team and I did nothing more than supply… Continue reading Halloween @ Work
