Today, Meg turned 35. When I woke up this morning, well after her I’m sure, she was sitting in front of the TV, in her chair, playing Skyrim on Xbox, with her headphones on, so she wouldnt wake me up. I woke up eventually, and picked on her a little. My usual attempt to get ... Read More »

Birthdays
Meg’s birthday is today. So I decided she needed a good present. We went to lowes and got the chandelier she’s wanted in the dining room for almost 2 years. It’s now wired and hung. And as one would expect, she loves it. Read More »
Tron?
Today, I procured two blue LED tubes for Megs car, as well as wire and rocker switches. 90 minutes of work later, I had everything soldered and installed in her car. The cabin footwells now glow blue to match her stereo. Read More »

Software Updates
There’s nothing more frustrating than sitting down and making time to run updates for one’s site, only to find out that wordpress is melting down because it says that this latest version of wordpress requires a newer version of MySQL. So you log into your web host’s portal. You check one server, which should be ... Read More »
A busy Wednesday
Today started early. And by early I mean before 8am. Meg and I got rolling and took mush to the vet. $200 later lad theynstill dont know what’s up. Blood tests and urinalysis are pending. I’m hopeful though. I don’t wanna have to put the little munchkin down. She’s too damned sweet. Once that was ... Read More »
Mildly unstoppable
I woke up today, and realized that an entire day of being in the house and sleeping was driving me slowly nuts. I needed to do…something. So I got dressed and mowed the lawn. Then we went to freddys and got new hoses, a bird feeder, and a bug zapper. I’m also toying with the ... Read More »
And this is why I like understanding electronics
So that spiffy set of Logitech portable speakers I own. Yes, the ones with the battery pack. They no longer hold a charge. I unplug them, they shut right off. Annoying to say the least. So, I did some digging. The internet did its job and supplied lots of complainers. Interestingly, they were telling me ... Read More »
The business of building an environment
One could aptly say it’s been a busy day. I woke up after Meg got back from the gym. We regrouped, and headed out the door to run errands. This began with going to lowes. While there, we picked up some lawn care stuff, a Japanese maple, and a new lawn mower. This pleased me ... Read More »
So, I should probably write more.
A good friend announced to me today that she spent an hour reading this space today, and that I write pretty well. Methinks that this is a hint that I should write more frequently. This shall be the case. I’m giving myself an ultimatum. There will, from now on, be at least one post a ... Read More »

Hacking Borderlands
As some of you may or may not know, I picked up Borderlands on a fluke, when it first came out. Like everyone else, I was shocked at how good it was, and then spent hours sucked into the original game as well as the expansion packs. Recently, Borderlands shipped for the Mac. Of course, ...

In The Loop.
Ah yes. There was a time when I could be called a prolific user of online media distribution services. Now, I find that I read what others post, more than I post myself. Go figure. Besides, life is full of all kinds of adventure. I find that I work, sleep, and conquer the daily life, ... Read More »
Life, The Universe, And Everything (42)
Life moves pretty quick. If you dont pay attention, you’ll forget to blog about it. Lots has happened in the last month. Meg and I have gotten the house mostly squared away. We have laundry services, we have the nerd cave set up. The grill is on the back porch, and tiki torches are installed. ... Read More »
I’m a little behind
Okay, so I realize I should have written something ages ago. Yeah, I kinda didnt post at all during October. Whoops. Well, October was a busy month. Here’s why. To recap, I bought a house. Or rather I bought a house with M. Or even possibly, she bought a house with me. Point is, we’re ... Read More »
Boy is this gonna be an adventure…
The financials were submitted. We waited. We were approved. We went hunting. We didnt find anything we liked. We waited. The perfect possibility fell into our laps. I loved it, she loved. it. We made an offer. We waited. This morning, I woke up to multiple calls, messages, texts, etc. They’d accepted our offer. Now, ... Read More »
moving perpetually forward
When I was still in elementary school, I got an AM/FM radio for christmas. It was from Radio Shack. I listened to the DC rock radio stations with it. And it was amazing. When I entered middle school, I upgraded to a portable radio with headphones. That was pretty awesome. I then got my first ... Read More »
Technolust
Yesterday a certain company that makes fruit related technology began pre-orders for a certain 4th generation phone. Its a pretty spiffy phone too. So I, like several million others, decided to buy in advance. And of course, it was a giant cluster fuck. There were lags, errors, servers melting down, and all kinds of bad ... Read More »
WasI ever this excited?
Lets just come out and say it. In the world of digital entertainment, I’m a gamer. I enjoy video games. I always have. Way back in the day when we had shit like Intellivision, and Nintendo’s Game & Watch, I was playing games based on digital content. Over the course of my life, I’ve had: ... Read More »
