My friend, Jason D., sent me a chain-letter to fill out and send to a million people for good luck or something. I am against such things, but I like Jason and wish to at least better his luck. Instead of emailing everyone with my MadLib biography, I chose to post it here on my… Continue reading MadLib Biographies

Unfair Freebies
At CheckFree, employees are given an awesome privilege of a reduced-price meal plan at the onsite cafeteria. The system works out to everyone’s favor, giving the company more productivity from employees and the employees have decent food, cheap. The problem comes in with contractors. Contractor’s are charged 250% the employee cafeteria price. I understand that… Continue reading Unfair Freebies
Kung-Fu Kids
Do you like Kung-Fu fighting? Everybody loves Kung-Fu fighting! These bookends are perfect for any bacehlor’s pad. I’m fortunate enough to have a wife that would probably really dig these.

Due to a privacy/confidentiality constraint, I’m not at liberty to discuss an event that occurred over the weekend. I will relate, however, a personal story. When I was 10, my brother took his own life. Henning, my brother, led a life directly opposite that of mine. That is, he was emotionally troubled and generally angry.… Continue reading Omega
Where the Sidewalk Ends
I was driving back to work from lunch today when I had a near-miss with an invincible jogger in the road. I’m guessing he was invincible because he didn’t even quaver at the approach of my car’s awesome kinetic energy. It’s an American luxury sedan, so it has considerable mass. It got me thinking about… Continue reading Where the Sidewalk Ends

Amy got very excited today when Balthazar replied, thoughtfully, to a situation at dinner in sign-language. He’s not deaf, nor is anybody in his family. He just doesn’t talk, so Amy thought we should teach him to communicate some way. Sign-Language is apparently something very young children can pick up, and Balthazar is doing well… Continue reading Untitled
In Just Three Easy Payments of $19.99…
I love new product commercials for products you never thought you needed. They’re always pitching some great new product that *fix* the way you used to do it. Of course, the people they show doing it the old way are complete oafs. Who are these idiots that can’t pick up hotdogs with tongs, pour-out spaghetti,… Continue reading In Just Three Easy Payments of $19.99…
Freebies Destroy the Environment
I’m all for freebies, but this is just stupid! I bought some toothpaste recently that came with a trial size of dental floss. The container you see pictured had but one, tiny wafer within it (also pictured). It even rattled around as if to flaunt its inefficient use of space. Couldn’t they have just glued… Continue reading Freebies Destroy the Environment
Timeout
Though I didn’t intend it, I’ve had a blogger’s block lately. I can’t find anything in my world in the last couple of days worth writing about. I can say I’m a bit under the weather, so maybe that gives me a sense of optical rectumitis on everything else. I’m also beginning to think seriously… Continue reading Timeout
Alternatives (Technical)
I’ve only recently tried out the RealPlayer and QuickTime alternatives out there. Due to my hosting arrangement, I’m only able to stream Real A/V streams. The server side stuff is actually really nice, so I’m not complaining about that. I realize, however, that there are a lot of people out there that don’t particularly like… Continue reading Alternatives (Technical)
