The (Other) End of the Internet

If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!I’ve had a bit of a shock today, so I’m going to apologize in advance if this post tends to ramble a bit or seem just a little incoherent. That’s just how I’m feeling right now.
About four-thirty this afternoon, we […]

This evening my wife looked up from her email and informed me that Eartha Kitt died of colon cancer today. Being the well-informed, always-on-top-of-it guy that I am. I paused my job of putting my daughters’ textbooks away and said, “Who’s that?”
Turns out that I have seen her on television. Back in the late […]

Daughter Number Two found this article with StumbleUpon and I just HAD to do what I could to help get the word out about this outrage.
Picture this: It’s 8PM, and you’re a mother seeing to it that the kids get bathed and ready for school in the morning when the circuit breaker trips and the […]

…had this uncanny way of irritating you even when ypu know that they’re not trying to?
You guessed it; I’m about to go off about the obnoxious neighbor again. This guy knows we have a baby in the house and he’s heard us make comments about wanting people to be grammatically correct when the baby […]

I’ve had a few people express the opinion that I should do a “Separated At Birth” post for Barack Obama. One person wanted me to compare him to someone from a group of motorcycle accident attorneys, but I just didn’t see the resemblance.
The other night we were watching Stargate SG1 and it hit me: Barack […]

It’s been a long time since I’ve had a baby to take care of. I’d forgotten how they can wear you out so quickly. Next time you find yourself thinking about taking diet pills, instead just go find a six-month-old you can take care of for a few weeks.
I’m not complaining, really. I wouldn’t trade […]

I almost fell out of my chair when StumbleUpon’s toolbar served up this page for me.
The Helios project, as I understand it based on 5 minutes worth of research, is a project to provide free computers to kids who would otherwise not be able to have them. In order to provide these computers at no […]

Recently I heard and ad on the car radio for a tankless water heater and I was like, “a WHAT? How do you heat water without a tank?”
Seriously, what do they do, wrap some industrial strength heat tapes around your water pipes so that between time the water enters your house’s plumbing system to the […]

Since I started complaining on this blog about my trouble getting Ubuntu Linux set up, it seems only right that I should announce that I found a fix for the problems I was having.
First off, I gave up on the Ubuntu 8.04 LiveCD I was using and tried using 8.10 instead. That installed and […]

I’ve been meaning to write this out for a while, but there have just been too many other irons on the fire lately.
A short while ago I got an email from my little sister (I’ll bet she loves being called that, especially now that she’s a grandmother) letting me know that she wasn’t working at […]
