Feed SubscriptionFor Meghan, on her 35th Birthday.
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 »

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 »

Perspective.
Its all about perspective. When I was a kid, I hated getting roped into yard work. Mowing, trimming, all that shit. I didnt care in the least. Now, its years later, and I have a huge backyard and a huge front yard. Both have been overgrown with moss. The grass hasnt really been tended to ... 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 »
So much to say, so little time to say it.
I have a million things I should probably write about. However things are crazy as always, so I dont always get the chance to organize them into a post. Shit, I still need to finish my post about Pookie coming to visit, what almost 6 months ago? Jebus. At the same time, things are crazy ... Read More »
Wow that’s a huge iMac…
Yesterday, my new computer finally arrived, after a week of waiting (and a bit of buyer’s remorse.) Today, I’ve spent most of the morning/afternoon setting it up… but wait, it’s tuesday, tuesdays are usually reserved for Meep/Mr. Geeklife days of fun. Notso today. I’ve been allowed to pretty much coop myself up in my room ... 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 »
