This I Believe
There is a program on NPR called This I Believe. I do find it interesting to see what people believe in. This isn't quite as developed as some of the essays but here's something.
This I believe.I believe that there is an Absolute Truth in the Universe. It is complex beyond what one person can understand in it's entirely, but it isn't callous. I ( Read more... ) -

(Untitled)
Well I did it. I bought a new Macbook today. I got a good couple of paychecks and my $600 check from George Dubba so I could afford it. I didn't get the top of the line laptop, but it's better than my old one. It's the 2.1 GHz Intel MacBook. I'm really happy with it. I'm in the process of moving everything over. I managed to get a 8GB flash drive ( Read more... ) -
Sad days indeed
Well I just read on Slashdot that AOL is finally going to kill Netscape. I started out with Netscape 2.0. I know that Netscape 6 was crap, but it does bring me back to the good ole days. Here's the link

What happened to customer service
I went to Bristol Farms today for a beer run and I was checking out the butcher shop. They had some sirlon steaks that were about $9 a pound. They looked pretty big, so I asked the guy if they could cut me a half pound. They said they couldn't do it. Now Bristol Farms isn't a cheap place. It's not like it's a Walmart or anything. Now if I go to ( Read more... ) -

Four firefighters were killed and one is in critical condition when the fire ran up on them. The one that's still alive was burned over 95% of his body. The news is ( Read more... ) -
World Cup Soccer
Well, it looks like Trinidad & Tobago held Sweden to a 0-0 tie. Apparently that's a big upset since Trinidad and Tobago is ranked something like 47th in the world and Sweden is ranked somewhere around 16th. I managed to catch the last minute of the game, but it looks like one of the Swedes got booted out of the game. Looks like SOMEONE wasn't ( Read more... ) -
Funny coincidence
Just completely random bit of triva, I just heard on the news that today on 6-6-06 the Angles play the Devilrays. Like I said, totally random. -
A little disappointed
Well I went out trying to hunt down a bottle of this year's Vertical Epic Ale from Stone Brewery. I went to both Bevmo and Stuffed Sandwich and neither place had it yet. I've really been looking forward to getting it this year, but I was denied. Stuffed Sandwich may get it this week and Bevmo may get it next week ( Read more... ) -
Barbecuing
I got my barbecue cleaned up today. I think that I'm going to grill this week. I'm sure that there's some purist out there that's going to say that I'm grilling, not barbecueing. But it's ok. I'm easy. I've got a small grill, so I can't do a lot of the indirect grilling, but I'm sure that I can whip SOMETHING up ( Read more... )
