…And upon the third decade of life, such an elaborate scheme was laid upon the woolen eyes of their victim. Never before have I been so bewildered and pleased in the same breath. Here’s the skinny on one of the greatest sting operations of all times. Jeff calls me early in the month of February… Continue reading Birthday Cheers. Skål!

First Solo
I was totally dissappointed to learn that I missed Balthazar’s first ever live solo gig. It was a total surprise to Amy too. Today, Balthazar took part in his day care’s Christmas pageant thingy. He had learned a song on Monday that he apparently showed great enthusiasm for. So this morning, they handed the mic… Continue reading First Solo
The End is Nigh; Scientists Plan to Build New Universe
NPR tells me that scientists are developing a theory around the potential development of synthetic universes. If that sounds vague, it’s because the explanation is based on a mathematical non-zero probability. That’s a tough concept to sell to the general public, myself included. However, I’m learning more about the ideas and am onboard with the… Continue reading The End is Nigh; Scientists Plan to Build New Universe
A Night at the Boiler Room
We’ve never been the type of crowd that hangs out at the Boiler Room on a Saturday night. Tonight didn’t change that, even though we did spend this Saturday in the depths of hip-hop dancing, drinking, and masquerade festivities. Probably as good a taste as we could get in their atmosphere. It’s what I’d think… Continue reading A Night at the Boiler Room
WP 2.0.4 *Complete
All done! Mark – 12:31pm That’s painless enough (and slower because I got to reading some documentation instead of watching the upload status). We’re now 2.0.4 and glorious because of it! Sorry if anyone reached an error page during the 5 minutes of updates. There’s actually a more fault tolerant method of doing this, but… Continue reading WP 2.0.4 *Complete
Computer Guy
Someone just approached my desk at work and asked if I was a “Windows Guy.” I mistakenly said yes only to receive a follow-up question about the use of Adobe Writer. What part of being a “Windows Guy” means you’re also an Adobe Acrobat guy? Turns out I was able to answer her question. Damn… Continue reading Computer Guy
Kingdom of Loathing
I’ve not written about it before, but the Kingdom of Loathing (KoL) is the best piece of crap since Legend of the Red Dragon (LoRD) way back in BBS days. KoL is chocked full of PHP and MySQL goodness to bring forth one of the more entertaining web games out there. Your a stick figure… Continue reading Kingdom of Loathing
Stairway to Heaven
The family made a trip this afternoon up to Amicalola Falls near Ellijay for some much needed together time and natural communion. Balthazar loved the walk, which is probably 1/4 mile – maybe 1/2 at most to the falls’ base. However, a big part of that hike is 125 steps on a winding staircase up… Continue reading Stairway to Heaven
Think You’re Hot, Check This Out…
Scientists just created (and recreated) the hottest temperatures in this solar system. Our sun is luke warm compared to the 3.6 billion degrees Fahrenheit reached within Sandia National Labratory’s Z Machine. This is hotter than the interior of our sun, which is about 15 million degrees Kelvin, and also hotter than any previous temperature ever… Continue reading Think You’re Hot, Check This Out…
Major Updates Coming
Seriously this time. I’m in the process of migrating the site over to WordPress 2.0.1. I’ve done it in beta now and have finally reached full success. There were issues with importing comments that I’ve finally worked out. The last element of known risk is permanent links. Out there in the blogosphere are links to… Continue reading Major Updates Coming
