While I slept last night, summer crept out onto the lawn and deposited itself. I found it this morning, smothering everything in sight in a moist haze. She’s a sneaky glutton, but we always know she’s coming. Now summer is here and things can start to really warm up. May your longest day be spent… Continue reading Welcome to Summer!

Katie Couric interviews ‘runaway bride’ – TV News – MSNBC.com Fast Eddie points out the Runaway Bride’s story as broken by Katie Couric. I’m not sure if the interview was tonight or sometime later this week, but I probably won’t see it. I’m only interested in the story so that I can talk intelligently at… Continue reading Gainesville Related to Mayberry
Something Wickèd this Way Comes…
In a particularly sinister plan led by one North American Hornet Saturday, my assassination was attempted in vain. I was minding my own business and mowing the lawn when a humming bird-sized hornet leapt from hiding and sniped me. Fortunately, my ninja reflexes allowed my life to be spared and I received the wound on… Continue reading Something Wickèd this Way Comes…
Happy Father’s Day (cont.)
When I finally got around to a time that I could possibly finish up this post, it was too late. Father’s Day turned out to be exhausting. I did get to play a video game for about 20 minutes. Balthazar and I played “Knights of the Old Republic” on the XBOX – well, Balthazar played… Continue reading Happy Father’s Day (cont.)
Happy Father’s Day
What does a dad do on Father’s Day? My first inclination was to shirk all responsiblity and play games all day. I’m thinking that this is in stark contrast to the role of “father,” so how could I spend “Father’s Day” as a bachelor? So I spend the day as super-dad instead. So far, I’ve… Continue reading Happy Father’s Day
The Sneeze – Half zine. Half blog. Half not good with fractions.
“It was time for the white. Wine tasters refer to a wine’s aroma as its ‘nose.’ This wine’s nose was a rectum.” Amy turned me onto thesneeze.com this evening. This site it so perfectly a match for my humor. I quickly browsed the site’s ‘toys’ with my wife with great delight. I’ve now read a… Continue reading The Sneeze – Half zine. Half blog. Half not good with fractions.
Migratory Blog Patterns
I am preparing to move my blog to a WordPress-based system. I’m very comfortable in WordPress, and I’m very comfortable in Blogger.com. I’m very uncomfortable with migrating the site from one to another. I did this a long time ago with pretty good success, but now I have HaloScan comments and TrackBacks to contend with.… Continue reading Migratory Blog Patterns
Flickr Group: Pisa Pushers
BoingBoing shows us Flickr’s latest ingenious group, “Pisa Pushers.” I didn’t realize that so many pictures were taken with the optical illusion in mind of monkeying with the Leaning Tower. When I first looked through these, I decided I would ensure that I never do this when visiting the Tower. By the time I finished… Continue reading Flickr Group: Pisa Pushers
pingomatic.com Error
pingomatic is showing us it’s frilly panties. You rarely see errors so severe as this in a major site like theirs. I wonder if they got h4xx0r3d.

A great injustice at CheckFree. Where I am, on the 3rd floor of my building, the toilets have the flushing power of a Mexican prison (I doubt this is the case, but imagine a dirt-floored prison cell with a groove cut in the floor to shed excrement away in due time). You’ll have to flush… Continue reading Office Movements
