I had a really great time with everyone that showed up to drum tonight. Although the coldest night we’ve been outside this year, it was probably the most energetic. Matt and I didn’t even realize how cold it was until it was all over and we were standing up. The knees get a little stiff… Continue reading Most Excellent!

Drumming Tonight
If you’re in the neighborhood, I’ll be drumming on the square in Gainesville again around 8:00pm. It should be a good time, even it is a little cold. No rain in the forecast, so that’s good. As always, we’ll have some extra seats and drums if you don’t one to bring.
Microsoft Says ‘Croissant Doughnuts’ are the Best
Upon continued testing of the croissant doughnuts featured at Ingle’s, Microsoft issues semi-official statement stating their eliteness. “They’re the best doughnuts I’ve ever had,” says Julius B., Microsoft SQL Guru.
Scrotal Saftey Commission
darrenbarefoot.com introduced me to the Scrotal Saftey Commission. An enjoyable read for everyone, testicled or not. My favorite line: “The delicacy known as Rocky Mountain Oysters are in actuality USDA approved bull testicles. People eat these. I’m serious, they put them in their mouth and eat them.”
Beatles Tribute Album
If the Beatles were given a tribute album like Led Zeplin’s, who would sing, “Across the Universe?” Fiona Apple or Rufus Wainwright?
Lunch: Recipes for Disaster
Also curtesy Ingle’s, lunch is a delicious (if large) collection of bargains. I downed a ham and cheese sandwhich and a dozen deviled eggs (6 whole eggs).

There are also still four doughnuts from this morning that I need to take care… Continue reading Lunch: Recipes for Disaster
Doughnut Croissant
If you haven’t had one of these, you are a depraved soul bound for a hell of ignorance. One taste of such goodness and your senses become more keen than ever. You also get super-powers from them. I got one at Ingle’s (Grocery Store) – now I’m a slave to sweetened butter and promiscuous glaze… Continue reading Doughnut Croissant
There and Back Again…and There Again
So I get into work this morning at 10-till-7:00am. This would give me plenty of time to work-out and take a shower before I start my day out. Everything is going as planned until I open the rear, driver-side door to get my gym bag. There on my rear, passenger-side seat sits the baby’s car… Continue reading There and Back Again…and There Again
Billy Joel, We Need Another “We Didn’t Start the Fire!”

Dell Blade Server Preview
I’m under an NDA, so I can’t actually tell you anything about Dell’s blade servers coming 4th quarter, 2004. What I can tell you is that Brocade never ceases to amuse me. This company sends me a brochure that might as well have been leathre-bound and gold-plated. It was ultra slick and obviously created at… Continue reading Dell Blade Server Preview
