I'm nearly caught up. Nearly.

So I've been gone for nearly a week. What'd I miss?

My PowerMac G5 has almost sold. If anyone is willing to offer $1250 and beat the other buyer in getting the money to me, I might almost consider selling it to them! Todd Dominey is selling a somewhat less-equipped G5 for $1600.

Keith is no fan of Georgie W: Discuss as you wish.

So Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter, has died of a stingray tine to the heart. So be it - live by the sword, die by the sword they say. His wife, I heard, hadn't yet heard the news because she was backpacking somewhere remote. I didn't have a problem when Steve Irwin took his newborn […]

Are kids these days - high school kids - so different from when I was in school 10-12 years ago? Apparently they were. Yesterday, having called a penalty on a kid on the golf team I assistant coach, I was both flipped off and sworn at. Then the kid failed to accept the penalty. After […]

You have three boxes. One is red, one is yellow, one is green. You also have six unique rocks. How many ways can you put the six rocks in the three boxes if you must put two rocks in each box? Explain how you arrive at your answer.

I got a long overdue haircut today. Apparently, 1" is a good length for my hair, and I finally managed to convince the guy to cut it short enough. Finally. Yes, I have a big forehead, but these magical things called "hats" tend to cover that up.

Sometimes, I feel a pulse in my eye. It's annoying (and usually my left eye). If I rub it or push on my eye (gently, lid closed), the "pulse" feeling will go away for awhile, but it usually returns. I get this "pulse" feeling every five or six months, and usually only for a day […]

As I drove past some dude getting arrested today on the side of the road (handcuffs and everything - no mere speeding ticket), I wondered whether the irony of being arrested on "Independence Day" would make the guy smile. P.S. I'm fully aware that "irony" isn't the best word here, but it's close and starts […]

Woohoo! I am king for a week once again. Carey and the Little One are going to Ohio today through Friday. To celebrate, I went to the grocery store and bought candy (for my TV/movie viewing), lots of beef (mmmm, grilled burgers every day), and ice cream (late night TV/movie viewing).

A king is having a feast. His intelligence officer comes up to him 30 days before the feast and tells the king that 1 of his 1,000 bottles of wine had been poisoned by his enemies. The poison kills immediately after 29.9 days, but has no other effects beforehand. The king has only 10 wine […]

I learned a new word today thanks to John Gruber: potboiler. It's defined as "a book, painting, or recording produced merely to make the writer or artist a living by catering to popular taste."

Though I didn't specifically, Ben Roethlisberger's injury is a great example of "I told you so," even if nobody is willing to actually say it. I had a scooter in Florida and I often told people "the first time I drove past a pole at 40+ MPH" I put a rush on my helmet order. […]

I've just signed up at cork'd because I'd like to, some day, learn something about wines and begin enjoying them. I did grow up in North East, PA, which competes with just about anywhere in the world for being the largest wine producer per capita. Or something like that… Anyway, if someone out there actually […]
