The day is here, the wait is over. After months of searching for our home and going through some pretty incredible circumstances, we have a home that we can call our own. Not completely, mind you, but enough so that it’s our property. It won’t be truly our own until some years down the road, [...]

Fall is, in my humble opinion, the greatest of all the seasons. Never quite the bitter cold of winter, nor the blistering heat of summer, nor the gloomy damp feel of spring, fall has a pleasant cool crispness and the most gorgeous of colors of the year. I guess I’m partial to it because my birthday falls [...]

This week promises to be hectic. We’re closing on our house on Thursday and if you’ve done that dance before, you can bet it’s going to be a busy week. What, oh what should we do about the week ahead in terms of the blog? It’s going to be mostly pictures. A cop out, perhaps, [...]

Again, hoping to have a fall picture up here today, but after loads of driving through the rain all day, I just didn’t have much energy to find a good shot of the colors. Oh, you are missing something, believe me. This is my favorite time of year and part of it is because the [...]
Today was a travel day. Also, the first day of Fall. I wanted to post up a typical Fall day picture, but time was short today. Tomorrow is also a travel day, so maybe tomorrow, maybe not.

See that blog post title at the top there? Nice, isn’t it? You know exactly what it says and it introduces the topic quite directly. No messing about. And as a introductory point to a blog post, it serves the purpose it was meant to do. In writing a blog post or an essay, I’d [...]

How are you doing for karma today? A bit low perhaps? I’ve got just the thing to suggest for you. Know how I said earlier about how I had something awesome that wouldn’t fit into the tidbits post? Well, here it is. The Wil Wheaton/John Scalzi fanfic contest is out today in fun electronic chapbook [...]

Last week, I got a nice little notice from my anti-virus program. Unexpected, but clever. Apologies for the slightly transparent image, but the gist of it is there. I was able to load up Pirate English to my anti-virus and now my audio notifications arrrrrrr a bit funny. Aside from that little nugget of pirate [...]

Shocking bit of news yesterday in the MMO game space when Realtime Worlds announced that their recently released game APB would be closing down. From game launch to close was a scant 79 days. For me, this was a dodged bullet. I looked at this game when it was getting hyped up and considered buying [...]

I have a love/hate relationship with Apple. Love the general usability, hate the lack of choice. Love the design, hate the walled garden. Love the stability of the system, hate when it breaks down (and as I’ve said to many before, when a Mac breaks, it really breaks. And it will break someday, trust me.). [...]

Saturday, I had the honor of attending the fortieth birthday party for Jeff, a friend of mine who I’ve known since kindergarten. In a way, Jeff is a guy I’ve been friends with longer than anyone else I know outside of my family. It’s taken a bit of a winding path with our friendship diverging [...]
