Sleepwalker Severs Girlfriend’s Spine

I couldn’t find a related news item on the web anywhere, but my wife tells me she was watching a thing on T.V. about a guy who has been released from charges of murder. His excuse is that he’s a horrible sleepwalker and apparently does things like move furniture around in the night. The court… Continue reading Sleepwalker Severs Girlfriend’s Spine

Schlotzsky’s Has Internet, Disney Doesn’t Like Safari

It’s so much fun to be able to sit at the free computers in Schlotzsky’s Deli, surf the Internet, eat some food – all with the boy. He’s good with engaging himself with games on the Internet while I sit with him and peruse things. I’m an awful parent for this I’m sure, but it… Continue reading Schlotzsky’s Has Internet, Disney Doesn’t Like Safari

New Year, New Hair

I have been daydreaming about some other hair style on my head. It’s not something I’ve done much in my life, so I thought I would give it some attention. My thought for the new hair was sort of a neo-Roman kind of thing. I don’t know that the stylist pulled off exactly what I… Continue reading New Year, New Hair

I also want video to be a comfortable size and 4:3 aspect ratio. The Zune has that, and is still pocket size and relatively inexpensive.… Continue reading Too Zune to Tell

The Smell of Victory

Success comes in many forms and in some cases the mark of success isn’t always apparent to others. Most recently, the bowels of our home were home to some number of rodents – big ones. I don’t know how many, though I hope the number was three. I first knew we were in trouble when… Continue reading The Smell of Victory

Hide from the Color Blind

Isi sends me updates from the science department regarding cloaking. Apparently, it is relatively simple to obscure objects from specific wavelengths – like a copper disc surrounded by an electromagnetic field. Unfortunately, the only thing that’s particularly useful for is hiding from someone who, say, can only see in a single color. Oh, and I… Continue reading Hide from the Color Blind

Women’s Jeans Suck

For Christmas this year I decided to go in over my head and do some shopping for women’s jeans for my wife. I took the advice of several other females – some at work, personal friends, and family. I learned a volume about women’s fashion designs and the marketing evil behind it. I also learned… Continue reading Women’s Jeans Suck
