I don't even have much to say, but it's damn time for me to post. I know I went a whole month without posting, but maybe I can think of something to say here. I don't have anything to say, but I'm hoping some sort of pouring out of words will happen. A stream of some sort. Something from my consciousness. A stream or consciousness ( Read more... )

Take a look at this picture. It's from a Curious George book. Specifically, it is from Curious George Visits the Zoo. I find it hilarious. This is a children's book and it has a dude just casually smoking a cigarette. He's casually smoking a cigarette next to his own small child. Yes, it's an old book. I'm not saying it was publish yesterday, or ( Read more... )

So, my son has been watching Jetsons: The Movie. Yes, the Jetsons. It's a little old, dated and poorly animated, but it's what he wanted to watch. There is something that confuses me though. Where do they live? Is that Earth? (FYI: in the film, it is revealed to be Earth for sure. Never mind this question.) I mean, they live up in the clouds. ( Read more... )

There you are. Stuck in the car. You missed your opportunity to pass and now you're waiting for the bus to move as traffic around you zooms by. You're in no particular hurry, but you'd rather not have to wait for the all people to get off the bus. You glance over the back of the bus and chuckle as you read the sign on it, "This vehicle stops at all ( Read more... )

It seems like every day (during the summer) I have one of those tiny little flies buzzing around my desk. I think it's a fruit fly, but maybe it's a gnat. I'm not sure. It's like the size of a pin head. It's black. It's incredibly annoying. The real problem is that they make me delusional though. I mean, it's not like I'm eating them and they have ( Read more... )

My wife and son are out of town for the next week. In fact, they've been gone since 5 days ago. Part of me doesn't mind. I've gotten quite a bit done. I've used our (stolen from a friend) steam cleaner to do most of the house's carpets, cleaned the downstairs bathroom really well, did some laundry, re-caulked the bathtub, and cut down/pruned our ( Read more... )

I'm disappointed in my preparation for my Security+ exam. I've been going really slow. I had actually hoped to have taken the exam by now. I mean, I've just pushed my time line back, but the longer it takes for me to do it, the harder it is. I've been trying to read more steadily the last few days. I think I've probably averaged about 10 pages a ( Read more... )

I have become addicted to tower defense games again. There is just somethung about them that I love. They are a wonderful combination of strategy, puzzle, and action. Actually, the one I am currently enjoying even includes RPG elements. It's called something like Cursed Treasure. I highly recommend it as a time waster. On a side note, doing URL ( Read more... )

I wanted to share this blurb I read. Now, it was in an email from AllClear ID. It's a fraud protection group and I wanted to give them full credit and simply link to the article. I could not, for the life of me, find a URL that went to the blurb below. I didn't try all that hard, but I really couldn't find it in about 5 minutes of poking around. So ( Read more... )

One of the things that pisses me off the most is when, as a department, we take ownership for other peoples' mistakes. If you own Microsoft Word you would never demand that Microsoft take responsibility for a document you printed that had typos. The software is a tool, but it doesn't make the information infallible. The number 1 rule of computing: ( Read more... )
