    @ peno my unhelpful message of the day: text works! #

  • ten year checkup

    I went to the doctor this afternoon for a general checkup, something I haven’t done in around ten years. The reason I went in is because I have been absolutely exhausted lately. I already know from my wife’s observations that I have sleep apnea, but it’s been getting a lot worse lately. I’m fairly sure…

    Chinese at Nat’s house from Ming’s Garden: Don’t be afraid to take that big step.

  • promoting religious harmony

    This email came in from our Crawley (basically London) office: All, FYI – Monday is a Bank Holiday over here so the UK office will be closed. If you need assistance during the day call us on our mobiles. The one most sober at the time will do their best to assist you 😉 As…

    Watching House. Movie trailer. Ed Norton is the new incredible hulk. That could be interesting. # @peno the Indy trailer is old news. 🙂 That was the first 1080p video I managed to find to watch on the new tv. # Lunch at Emigration Market at 13th south and 17th east. Really good potato salad.…

    Our energy storage technology is not where it should be in order for us to eliminate our dependence on fossil fuels. # It is not enough to just generate power without oil, gas, or coal. We must be able to store and retrieve it efficidntly too. #

    Looks like nobody makes a diet grape soda. The diabetic child will be unhappy. # @lnxcwby Smith’s didn’t have any, unfortunately. # The jazz are totally blowing this game. # Incredible 4th quarter, but too little too late. # definitely time for sleep. # @lnxcwby 3 minutes to get from Australia to Virginia? I’m impressed.…

  • rewired

    Tonight I went over to my wife’s best friend’s house because a bunch of their outlets and lights stopped working yesterday. It didn’t trip a circuit breaker, it just stopped working, but there were a couple of times where it worked for a few minutes and then went off again. Now it’s just off. This…

  • virtual pets and other dangers

    One of my kids is on a quest to get a Mutsu Water Looper toy, made by Tomy. It’s a discontinued item that was only available in Japan. We found one on eBay, but they wanted $100 plus $50 shipping for it, so we didn’t go for it. If anyone knows where we could get…

    This word will seriously warp your mind if you stare at it too long: flagrantly

    Smith’s Chinese, 8th and 9th. Now is a good time for a new collection or hobby.

  • subverting the man

    Do you ever find yourself behind a restrictive firewall that won’t let you check your email with a program like Thunderbird, or behind a filtering web proxy that classifies innocent websites as subversive porn-laden drivel and won’t let you get there? Perhaps the network you’re on won’t allow your favorite instant messenging program out. Maybe…

  • mucking with my trousers

    On my personal cellphone, I occasionally send text messages. I was writing one a few minutes ago to a buddy of mine because I want to verify that I can use his server for backup DNS. I use the “multiple tap” method for text entry, because I haven’t gotten the hang of T9 yet. Even…

  • lolcode

    I just read about this. I should probably deplore lolspeak as the ultimate in devolution of the English language, but it makes me giggle. One of the better lolcats I’ve seen so far is this one. I swear I heard that song about a dozen times on Pandora in the days after I’d seen it.

  • ok campers, rise and shine

    This has been a very interesting spring. Every week or two we wake up one morning to find that the mountains have a new coat of white. Of course, it only takes a day or so for the lower portions to melt off again. Sometimes, as is the case today, most lawns and all the…
