I’ve posted some photos from trip to Philadelphia. More to come as they are approved/happen! Philly Photos!

Doctor: $75 Rhinocort: $80 Allegra: $86 No more sneezing and runny nose: Priceless

I was a beta site for Star Wars Galaxies, an online role playing game. It is coming out soon and the NDA has been lifted, so I’ve posted some of my screenshots: Star Wars Galaxies Photo Album

(INPO) * Mad Monster Party (Rankin/Bass 1966 puppet masterpiece, got it on DVD!!!) * The Princess Bride (All time fav) * The Red Violin (wonderful story) * Waking up to sunshine * Walks in the forest on a cool evening * Trying out a new piece of software that “gets it right” * Playing with… Continue reading Things I love (or really, really like)

For those Kevin Smith fans, this two disc DVD set is a must have. It is absolutely hilarious! Kevin answers questions and tells stories from his different university appearances. Jason Mewes makes appearances, too!

I took a short 1 mile hike through the Tualatin Hills Nature Park. What a lovely little park! It is right around the corner from me, and while I have seen it on the GPS, I never did see a way in. I would have hiked more, but even the Claritin is not helping much… Continue reading Tualatin Hills Nature Park

Gregory Peck, one of our legendary actors has left us today. And, David Brinkley, who would have covered it so succinctly, has left us as well.

Yesterday I had a procedure called “IPR” done (Interproximal Reduction) in which they sand off a little of the sides of the teeth (lower front) to make room so they can be moved. It is the best way to correct my bite (vs. yanking teeth or widening the top and filling the gaps with bond)… Continue reading Braces Update!

Part of my self improvement process is to get out more, so I hauled my butt 90 minutes west to Ecola State park. I took some pictures for all to enjoy!

97 outside, 93 inside. This rental has no insulation and no AC. Yuck. Crazy portland 🙂

Or something like that would make the place a better world. I am the classic bitcher, I won’t change because communication helps make us better people, but I will try to be more constructive. On a positive note, I had a realization today. People have been bitching about Apple doing this wrong, or doing that… Continue reading Less Bitching, more moaning

Some people are complaining that Apple took away internet streaming and thus something they “paid” for in iTunes 4. Because they downloaded AAC files they paid for the feature and thus Apple duped them. Ya know I am kinda sick of everyone having their own voice. Ok, I’m not, it is just annoying at times… Continue reading The whole iTunes 4.0.1 issue..

I got my votes in for Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuben Stoddard. Yes I watched American Idol. I liked the guy. 🙂

Taco Bell wins the moronic site of the week club. Not only do they use some weird plugin or show times (which won’t load in Chimera or Safari) their location finder page has no phone #s nor hours either. I mean, my God, they paid someone to make finding an open restaurant this hard? We… Continue reading Moronic Web Site of the Week

So where is your favorite place to chat with geeks (male and females) Most free services don’t experience many geek visitors, so I find it tough to communicate. DALnet is good – where else exists out there? What about Mac-centric chats?

I wrote my first SmallTalk class this week. I am working in Squeak to assess it for a project I am consulting on. The system is quite amazing and much to wrap my mind around, quickly. These guys are in a league of their own – I’m aiming to contribute. The paradigm shift is large,… Continue reading SmallTalk here I come

I am not a huge fan of The Hulk but the special effects look great! Watch the trailer

This guy built a 28% scale mech for his kids. Very cool!
