In case it wasn't obvious, I'm a sports fan. Pretty much anything, except NBA. Hell, I'll watch PBA before that. I'm also a Seattle sports fan, in general (again, except for the Sonics). I've watched a lot of elimination games, a few even had a team I root for participating ( Read more... )

I haven't gotten a good night's sleep yet since returning from Seattle. Stayed up too late last night anyways, and then tossed and turned all night. Laura was huddled in the blankets when I went to bed - I had to wrestle them away from her ( Read more... )

I stayed home this morning, for an 8-12 appointment with the Direct TV guy. I finally have given into my hatred for all things Time Warner, and am switching from their lame, NFL Network-less services. Direct TV guy get to my apartment at 9, and immediately gives me some bad news. He's not sure if he can get a dish off my balcony pointing SW. See, ( Read more... )

Nifty new piece of software. Called Uranium desktop. I had the Kent mailbox wallpaper up for 6 months, and figured I was due for something new. You point Uranium to a folder containing pictures, and specify a time delay, and it selects a random picture from the folder, and changes it for you. How neat.
