Sometimes I really truly wonder about some the awesome financial “sources” trusted by the big banks. When you talk to super wealthy people, they typically always say the same thing: It takes a lot of long hard work, buy low, sell high. It’s not complicated to gain wealth, it just takes a long [...]

I love how everything since the nineties has added a “gate”. Whoever named the Watergate complex must be getting royalties. I love the idea of reducing carbon. I like the idea of reducing electricity and fossil fuel consumption. I like recycling (I’m actually a freak about it – ask EK, she’ll tell you). [...]
Voltron – Defender of the Universe, defeater of monsters with giant nipples. OK – so we love our Netflix streaming into the Xbox 360. Hardly miss having Television with a DVR at all actually because of it. But I have found a couple of things that open up doors that were more easily shut [...]
Arctic Sea Sailor / Terrorist / Who Knows In ages past, I was known to delve into the political. I seldom do now. But this is one of those “AHA!” type moments. Perhaps you don’t watch the news as closely as some do. I watch it far less closely than I have in the past, [...] Sometimes, I just don’t get why people freak out… Our school (to be unnamed) sent out an email saying that they will not be watching the speech on Tuesday, which is fine with me – I don’t really care. But, honestly, the President can’t make a speech to kids? That’s just plain retarded in [...] OK, in the past, this blog has basically been a little fundy-pundy and I decided politics makes me mad and unhappy. So I very infrequently talk about it unless something big and huge is coming up. Well, I have been hearing about H.R. 669 for about 3-4 weeks now and debating whether or not it’s a [...] OK, so I have really really really tried to tone down politics on my blog, but I am really struggling with what Hillary Clinton made in statements to Mexican President Calderon today: “Our insatiable demand for illegal drugs fuels the drug trade. Hmm. OK. I agree. Stupidly simplistic explanation, but I agree. “Our inability to [...] OK, I’m getting mighty pissed off at the Obama administration AND the fricken’ press. I, by no means, consider myself the most informed person in the world. But why is it that I can hear 85 things about Josef Fritzl and not hear anything about OUR COUNTRY’S NEIGHBORS – MEXICO???. Tijuana has had [...] I join in a congratulatory tone to give props to Charlie and all my friends who voted for President Elect Barack Obama. While my candidate (candidates actually, if you consider that I was steadfastly against the election of Udall here in CO) didn’t win, I join in rallying behind our new president and the newly [...] OK, so I’m still intrigued by the Palin pick. But out of all of the things that John McCain said, this one quote struck me as why I feel I should vote for him (via NPR). In Vietnam, where I formed the closest friendships of my life, some of those friends never came home with me. [...] OK, for the record, EK and I had a lively (but not hostile at all) debate / discussion yesterday on the whole Bristol Pallin thing. I think we both are more than a little curious on what she will say today because we both came to the (almost) same conclusion: You’ve got 5 kids, 3 under [...] So firefox3 is out in public beta now, and I’ve been using it for a few days. It’s pretty cool, I have to say. It’s ridiculously faster and renders correctly in Ubuntu (I can now use google maps, something that had been relegated to Opera, which has it’s fair share of flaws). Go [...] So, I am waist deep into our foray into virtualizing a metric boatload of servers on to Xen Enterprise – As I write this I’m waiting on a server to finish Leostreaming onto one of our trusty Xens. We chose Xen over Vmware because we don’t like hemorrhage money at work. We originally chose [...] As Americans, we often complain about the government being too into our affairs. Both parties often do this, and I think it’s a fairly universal thing. But, at least we’re not Korea. I was downloading a copy of Windows 2003 from Microsoft today and noticed this little banner: “Notice of Absence of Media Services. The software [...] With dealing daily with funktasticness revolving around Microsoft in my new job every day, I have a slew of awesome new errors and notes from the all knowing, never blinking, evil eye in Redmond. The latest of which comes from a tool called “Microsoft Time Zone Exchange Tool” And what does the super awesome technical writer [...] net start rant In technology, there are several genre on users. 1 – There is the user who is high maintenance, and they know it, and are a little appologetic for it. 2 – There are the technotards. These people don’t know they are high maintenance, but they are. They are the [...] Microsoft can be super lame. Especially by not patching Windows 2000. Yes, it’s old and you want money Microsoft, we get it. But still… Anyhow, so that I can save some poor fool some time in the future when applying the registry settings MS provides for updating 2000, 2003, XP, 2k and Vista, there [...] OK, I swear I’m not making up my own version of pppowerbook. EK had been using a piece of machinery we dubbed “the craptop”. Since we’re shedding useless trinketry, I thought I’d ebay this puppy. Well, the auction got bought out by some homeboy who’s screen name was “eastyboy”. I said I’d ship intl, [...] I actually got registered (I guess fourth time’s a charm), though I was on the supplemental not the actual list of registered voters. So – Here is proof that I voted – Well, not really, it’s proof that Little-J was with me and that he had a scary cheezy smile from having “I voted [...] Well, my wife has occasionally called me the “Porn Nazi” because I take a pretty hard line about being anti-porn. It’s probably because I’ve been influenced badly and affected badly by it. But, mainly it’s because I’ve seen SO MANY guys turn their life into a trainwreck, and it usually starts with porn. To date, I’ve [...] |
