I’ve been slacking off as far as blogging goes. Not sure why, but oh well.
People are claiming Palin is finally becoming less popular with the electorate. I gotta say, according to the chart in that link, it looks the McCain-Palin ticket has dropped. Her drop started earlier, but for the most part it mirrors McCain’s. [...]

I have two items:
1. Good ISPs in town? Currently, my DSL is controlled and administered by a company hired by the owners of my apartment complex. This means I have less control that I want to have (and it’s slower than I want), so I’m thinking I’m going to go off an get my [...]

Not having a working Internet connection in my apartment for the better part of last week has really shown me how hopelessly addicted I am to it.
On the other hand, I managed to watch four movies and significant number of Arrested Development episodes. Eventually I assume I’ll get tired of that show, but I’m nowhere [...]

It’s the tenth anniversary of the mp3 player. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not the Diamond Rio PMP300, but the MPMan F10.
So, I almost have a collectible piece of gadgetry. In high school I got an Eiger Labs F20V, which is the second generation of the MPMan F10. As far as I know, the [...]

Just three years late, I’m finally starting to watch Lost on DVD. While I have nothing more substantive to say than I like it so far, a couple of peripheral things amuse me. The opening “title” on the season 1 DVD looks like a second rate comp sci graphics course project. Also, the designer of [...]

Not long ago I thought to myself, “you know, I’ve never worked 60 hours in a week before.” Who knew I was setting a goal?
In other news, Guiliani is a complete idiot. If you didn’t know that already.
Plus, I must say, this Obama is a Muslim thing seems to be more popular than I thought. [...]

It’s almost Christmas and I will be in Wyoming for all of next week, so this place will be very quiet for that period.
At work today my boss handed out Christmas cards thanking us for our hard work. Not just generic, Santa Claus and snowmen cards, but full-on Christian, worship Jesus cards. Now, he’s a [...]

It’s Thanksgiving time, so I’ll be gone through this weekend. That is, assuming I don’t slide down Teton pass and into a tree. If that happens, I won’t be back at all. Because I’ll be dead. Which would be annoying.
Happy Thanksgiving.
(note: I won’t, however, forget to remove the eyesore gracing the top of this page [...]

Not a good weekend for my modestly expensive toys. My Xbox 360 has died and must be sent in for repair. That creates a dilemma: do I return the HD-DVD disc of Heroes I have (so I can watch No End in Sight) or not? Next, I tried to adjust the action on my guitar [...]

When I was a freshman in college (Fall 2002), I took the required public communication class. In it, I had to do a persuasive presentation about a subject of my choosing. I chose the Iraq war. I had a few modest, not particularly fleshed out arguments: WMDs (if they were even in Iraq) weren’t particularly [...]
