Yep I’m still here, single, geeky, same old me. I created a DVD for my brother’s birthday – that was fun. It involved some lip syncing to a couple of tunes and some special appearances by Bozo The Clown. Seeing as I had never used makeup before, that was an experience. Rit dye is also… Continue reading Hey I’m still here!

And people say I have too much time on my hands, check out the latest craze: Hold on, I need to stop my car!

A friend and neighbor of my parents and friend to me passed away this evening from a sudden, seemingly family related heart failure. He was in his early 40s and leaves behind a wife and two children. Don’t take today for granted. Update: Alex’s scouting troop put up a tribute.

I bought a Apex AD-2600 DVD Player for $60 (shipped) because a site said it could play DVD-RWs and my $1500 Toshiba SD-9100 could not. Not only can it play DVD-RW, but it plays DVD-RW with video and data on it, something my Toshiba choked on with just DVD-R + data. There is a tad… Continue reading Apex AD-2600 DVD Player

The snow is not sticking here, mainly ice, but Lucien, who lives farther southeast and in a higher elevation, has this gorgeous scenery!

We have not uploaded the files to the site yet (we need to add a “For OS X button” but when they are there, I’ll post a link. I’ve been working on this for 2 years, off and on, mostly off, but it is finally shipping. I learned how to port an application originally written… Continue reading YAY TK3 for OS X is done!

Yes, I scanned it, and I will scan all of the other shirts, worked much better than using my digital camera, albeit slower.

The one tooth that has always been an issue (and a crown trainee for some time) looks like it took a toll from the braces and as such, I’ll be getting it crowned this December. Wee! At least it will be done with. Man, dentistry is expensive 🙂

My phone just rang. Random Guy – “Hello, is this the Apple Store?” Me – “No, but i was just there” Him – “Odd, I called mall services and they gave me your number” After thinking about it for a few minutes, I realized that I had called mall services this week to find out… Continue reading Humorous Apple Store followup

Julie passed her one month no-smoking anniversary. What a hard thing to take on, let alone do so big congratulations to her!

Yes indeedy my braces came off this morning! My teeth are so smooth! I now have retainers for life – I wear them 24/7 for a week, then just at night. I’ll be using Opalecence to whiten my teeth this week. I also picked up an Oral-B Deluxe 7900 teeth care system at the store!… Continue reading No More Braces!

To Maggie’s spoiler I respond: I have not seen it yet, but I could have told you this is what it would be. I told my bro after part 2, the search for sexual satisfaction, no wait, that was American Pie. At least that was funny. heh. These guys, the Walwackoffs, had no idea what… Continue reading Matrix regurgitated

Hehe you can laugh at me in my cat in the hat suit but I won a pair of Bose speakers from The Mac Store at the Panther party! Thanks guys and gals! I’ll go pick them up later and post some pictures 🙂

I’m sitting in the office of my orthodontist this morning when an assistant comes and sits next to this gentleman. First thing out of her mouth was “Are you single?” he replies, “Yes, why?” “Well, one of our employees really finds you attractive, and was wondering. It is not for me of course, I am… Continue reading Get braces – and a date!

We’re in the home stretch on the braces! I am in the finishing rubber bands now, which basically means I cannot speak much for 2 weeks. I can, but I sound like Peter Lorre, hehe. Should be good for some halloween scares!
