We went to Athens’ Athica art gallery to see the RACE show. It’s a bit of an anti-whitey display, but I’m not going to say that the white man hasn’t done some malicious racial activities in the past and present. I’m sure that it will continue into the future, possibly as a result of displays… Continue reading RACE: Enter Personal Politics

Konfabulator – Yahoo! Widgets
The Konfabulator tool was recommended to me by a coworker recently. He noticed that I used the Desktop Sidebar, a Longhorn-looking (Windows Vista) desktop component. To be honest, I was speculative of the Konfabulator’s ability to replace the Desktop Sidebar, both by its name and the source of information (he’s not a Windows guy, so… Continue reading Konfabulator – Yahoo! Widgets
Corporate Musical Chairs
Last week, Carlos told me a story that was potentially blog-worthy. I didn’t blog about it because I felt that it needed to have personal frustration associated with it, rather than just his. What he didn’t tell me was that I would undergo the same treatment a few days later. Today, I got my first… Continue reading Corporate Musical Chairs
I’m Batman!
Superhero’s (and Dora the Explorer) assembled last night for autographs and pictures with the kids – or their parents in some cases. Dora’s appearance in the gig was a little out of place, though not ignored by the children. Most of them were probably there to see her more than any of us. Besides, I… Continue reading I’m Batman!
MadLib Biographies: Longhand
This morning, I opened a letter from my mom – snail mail, not email. It’s unusual to get personal letters when there are no holidays or birthdays in sight, so I was a little apprehensive of this one. As I unfolded the sheets of paper from the envelop, I could see that what I had… Continue reading MadLib Biographies: Longhand
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.)
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
Outpost Nine :: Editorials
Carlos sent me a link to a teacher’s comments on “English as a Second Language” in Japan. It came recommended as hilarious, and I do indeed concur. It’s a little like watching an anime cartoon that makes no sense, while a telepathic commentator gives you a play-by-play. “So, in effect, I thrust out my peace… Continue reading Outpost Nine :: Editorials
The Picutre of Everything
This you just must see. I would actually like a really large poster version of this on my wall.
Break Camp
Balthazar and I headed out this morning at about 6:30am for Pensacola Beach. Against all odds, we’re finally on our way to this “vacation.” As mentioned in a recent post, we’ve had a string of bad luck lately. Yes, I did finally get my car and things seemed as though they might be on the… Continue reading Break Camp
