Downtown Idiocy
Went to see the Indians this afternoon (had loge tickets courtesy of stampinmak's employer). The game was great, breaking our losing streak (and the A's nine game win streak), the snow didn't bother me much, but something else did ( Read more... ) -
To Infinity, And Beyond
If I ever get to go to the moon, I think I'll range about a little farther than this.

The funniest thing on TV last night
I really hate reality shows. None of them has managed to interest me, and most are completely repulsive. But last night, while channel surfing, stampinmak and I discovered Trace Atkins was still in the running on Celebrity Apprentice. I'm a fan of the big man (his cheesy music is great, and when he wants to, he can convey more emotion than almost any ( Read more... ) -
A Review: Cars
That's right, the cartoon.
Before I get into this, I have to admit a bias though. I love to drive. I'm sorry, that's not quite right. I love to drive. To me the automobile is the penultimate symbol of freedom. I don't follow NASCAR at all because my idea of a good time isn't watching someone else drive, but I envy Dale Earnhardt, because he ( Read more... ) -

As for collating, this company has a product which allows you to collate, and they offer a 14 day free trial. The trial version claims to watermark ( Read more... ) -
Bleg: Collating PDFs
I need help. We have a nice form feed scanner here at work, but it only does one side. So if I feed a stack of documents through and scan side A, flip it over and do side B, I end up with two PDFs. Does anyone know of any utility that will collate the two documents, or do I have to do it by hand ( Read more... ) -
A Review: White Night; Book 9 of The Dresden Files
I've been a big fan of the Dresden Files for some time now, long before the short lived Sci-Fi series tanked (don't look at me, I loved that the series wasn't the books). And I really liked this book, while I was reading it. Now that I'm done, and looking back on it, I have some reservations ( Read more... ) -
Medical Update
Took the Son and Heir to see the pediatric GI doc this morning for the follow-up on his endoscopy. The damage to his esophagus and small intestines looks minor, and should repair itself on its own in short order ( Read more... ) -
For those who haven't heard
Last week, the Son and Heir was diagnosed with Celiac Sydrome. The incredibly simple version is that the way his digestive system reacts to wheat (gluten) prevents him from properly digesting the rest of his food. The end result is that he's lost a couple of pounds over the last four months or so. We're still in the process of getting test ( Read more... )
