Today marks the first day of DragonCon for Amy and I – it’s 2:00am on Saturday, but it was at 7:00am Friday morning when we began.

Newness at MARTA
We’ve ridden MARTA a couple times over the last couple weekends and noticed quite a bit of awesome new technology. They’ve traded the old turnstile gates in for Star Trek fanciness. The best improvement made was to the ticketing system. The new system allows you to buy your passes (the Breeze Pass) with cash or… Continue reading Newness at MARTA
There’s Someone for Everyone
A certain friend of mine has recently become engaged and I see no mention of the event on his own blog. As such, I hereby request his Geek Card until such wrong-doing can be redeemed. You know who you are. (To prove you are worthy of your Geek Card, you must create a post and… Continue reading There’s Someone for Everyone
Weight Watcher’s Recipes (circa 1974)
Candy Boots has done some brilliant work resurrecting old recipe cards from the genius of Weight Watchers.

My onboard RAID controller died so I purchased… Continue reading Broken Promises

Empathy, if you will. The acknowledgment of an infrastructure, to put it in technological terms, if we are the applications. What this infrastructure is actually… Continue reading What are your Convictions?
Praying Mantis
Bird Watchers Digest \ BoingBoing A praying mantis (A.K.A. alien vessel from Neptune) was seen skewering a hummingbird by a young boy. This is not unheard of, though rarely photographed. Not only was this photographed, but it was done so with high-resolution equipment such is the norm in today’s backyards. Apparently, the mantis slashed out… Continue reading Praying Mantis
Good Morning, Sunday
As I write this, I’m winding down to sleep after a strenuous day. I played in Athens today at Kidsfest as mentioned previously. Although no longer or hotter than last year, we were in greater demand this year. We played almost 5 hours continuously. That’s a lot of skin slapping, and we were all beat.… Continue reading Good Morning, Sunday
