Perhaps?
I have a theory. Episode I was a stinker, and from what I hear, II was just a tad better. I've seen a handful of personal and professional AOTC reviews, but they're each missing one very important (and extremely subtle) detail. I believe that Lucas has been pretending that he made the prequels an even [...]
Wanted: Dead or Dead
To whoever stole my wallet: THANKS! I've been meaning to get a new one, anyway. And quite honestly? I would have probably wasted that $60 on coffee and lunch. I also now have motivation to get a California driver's license; my Iowa one was getting old. As far as the included credit cards are concerned [...]
Hot Blogging
It's kinda nice to watch TV without worrying about something not being done. Of course, some things still haven't been done that need to be done, but… I need to relax. We're watching the X-Files series finale. I think they just brushed of Mulder, but I wouldn't be surprised if he lived on. Until I [...]
Who The…?
Would anybody please mind telling me what this person is saying? They left the message on our machine earlier this morning and I don't speak anything but English.
Simple Math
Girls = Time x Money Time = Money Girls = Money x Money = Money^2 -/Evil = Money Girls = (-/Evil)^2 Girls = Evil
Ready To Kill Microsoft
I needed to find a file in my Inbox this morning. When I popped open Outlook 2000's integrated search panel, I noticed that the font was now Times New Roman (not the usual Tahoma). Odd. I hadn't changed anything recently that would have impacted this area. At least, I never had before. Since I just [...]
This Is Where I've Been
The gods hate me. As if it wasn't enough to have to reinstall Windows tonight, I just spilled coffee all over my keyboard. This time, it's truly hosed. My computer was going nuts; the USB device connected / disconnected WAVs (ding-dong / dong-ding) were firing in succession every ten seconds. Luckily, it was the only [...]

Earthquake!
I think we just had an earthquake! I'm not sure, but Gretchen and I defintely both felt it. I've been working on rebuilding my system over the past couple of days. Man, that was weird. Now I have what feels like the “caffeine shakes.” I think it was just a minor tremor here. The news [...]
Speed Limit 75
You have to admire Pennsylvania for running TV ads here in SF. This guy is sitting on his bed, looking over what appears to be an acceptance letter for a position at a tech company in the Bay Area, when suddenly, the “Job Fairy” appears in a rear-illuminated entryway. The overweight character in a tutu [...]
Girlcott
Gretchen's not going to get mad because my towel is on the bed, just to let you know. She's finished prepping dinner – it's in the crotch pot. She's in the shower and it seems as though… yes, I've just received reports that indeed, droplets of water are falling from the shower head at this [...]
Long Overdue
Pimp-Daddy Ken sold separately. “Now here's a Barbie all of us can enjoy – the Raging Hormones Menopausal Prozac Barbie. Off to update my Amazon wishlist…” You have a wishlist, Christine? I didn't know that. Maybe you need to make a long-ass vertical banner on your site so that people can see it. Or, have [...]
Unfortunately
Today it's “Build a New Computer” day in Pirillo Loftland. Unfortunately, the festivities won't start until ~3PM. Fortunately, that gives me plenty of time to head to Best Buy and pick up any last minute necessities. Unfortunately, that means I'll probably spend more money. Fortunately, I'll be able to stop by Peet's on my way [...]
The Debate Rages On
I have to disagree here. If you want to run over 100MB, 5e is needed. Also 5e cable is much better for running video signals over Cat5. The difference between Cat5 and Cat5e is less than $10 per 1,000 feet. So in that case, what does it matter? It doesn't But to come out and [...]
