Felis Cattus, is your taxonomic nomenclature ( Read more... )

It was a crazy day at work. Almost everyone is out, on vacation, sick, or in a different office. I'm becoming the technical lead in many new things and to fully understand them, I find myself walking around to clear up assumptions and get things done ( Read more... )

That was an awesome episode. I hope it wins an Emmy for it. I had a theory for a while that the final episode of the series was going to be their wedding, but that proved untrue. I have a new theory on how the producers will end the show ( Read more... )

Here is the tale of my epic fail. Actually, it's only sorta fail and it would have been epic if Joey had still been playing and the humans maybe would have won. We will never know ( Read more... )

Gather round children and listen to my story. It's about how hubris and not paying attention to a balance sheet leads to an epic fail. Fortunately for the protagonist, it's only a game ( Read more... )

I think I've been unemployed now longer then I ever have been in my adult life. I haven't seen most of my friends in over a month due to various things. I've generally run out of video games to play. Nothing is really interesting to me too. The job front is same as it's been: I'm a great candidate, I interview very well, etc. but there's just ( Read more... )

I'm 26 and this is now my third time laid off. I'm so used to it that I both saw it coming back in January and correctly guessed who would be laid off (both my boss and me).

In what is possibly the dumbest holiday / reason to celebrate / drink, today is indeed a Square Root Day - 3/3/09. Live it up and stay safe, this will not occur for another 7 years in 4/4/16. Whoop-de-do!http://apnews.myway.com/article/20090303/D96M7L904.html

The Hi-speed rail ceases to entertain. Two trains pull into 69th street, and all parties leave in an orderly fashion. One bum-ish guy just stays in his seat for about 5 minutes after everyone departs. This is a guess, but I think that train was about to be decommissioned for the night. I bet he had nothing better to do, so he'd just hang out on ( Read more... )

I've been reading articles about Iceland over the past month or so about their version of the financial crisis. I remember doing a school report years ago about the country. I'm thinking about planning something out to go there. It's still a pipe dream. I know Arizona was next on my list, but from articles I've been reading, I think you can get ( Read more... )
