It's obvious, if you know where to look...
I'm getting dressed on Thursday morning and I notice that one of my three wallets is missing. It's not the ID wallet, nor the money wallet, it's the club-card wallet, containing some coupons, club and membership cards, and a few other things. Nothing that important or worrisome if it stays missing. Still, it's kind of annoying to figure out what ( Read more... ) -
Programmer gripe
The grave accent ` is not the opposite of the apostrophe '. It's the same way that the backslash \ is not the opposite of the pipe bar |.

Layoffs again, but I'm safe...
Work was hit with a round of layoffs today. I was spared, so I'm thankful for that. There were some good people hit though, so I know that the cuts were tough. -
Wet Christmas
I'm witnessing a wet Chrismas
Much unlike the ones I used to know
With the tree tops dripping
And everyone scrambling
To avoid the torrential downpour
I'm witnessing a wet Christmas
With every Christmas celebration I attend
Wishing you and yours the best
And may no more Christmases be wet -

Serve us? Service? Are you joking?
Recently a group of us gathered to eat lunch, share stories, and generally enjoy each others company. We decided to do this at a local eatery, one that we had frequented several times before, were quite happy with, and therefore recommended to the group. The reservations were at 11:30, and I arrived ahead of the group at about 11:15-11:20. Ahead ( Read more... ) -
Disc on the beach
I spent this weekend playing ultimate at the One Love, One Beach tournament here in town. That helped me realize a few things: I love playing ultimate; spirit of the game is a good part of why I love ultimate; I think I might be a better player than I think I am; and sand gets everywhere and sticks there.
I love playing ultimate because at ( Read more... ) -
DST is a Deranged Switch of Time
One of the things I always loved while growing up in Arizona was the gradual movement of sunset from early to late. It brought a sense of continuously changing seasons, and the clock, it seemed, didn't dictate the schedule of the sun, just measured it.
It's something that still exists, but it gets hidden in a silly movement of the clocks. While I ( Read more... ) -
Where's my reservation?!
I just had a quick comment for everyone out there: STOP GOING OUT TO EAT ON MY BIRTHDAY!!
Anyways, enjoy the rest of the day.
