As this is a forum for me to complain about everything that is wrong about the world:
Today at lunch I saw a guy wearing a “Austin, Texas” t-shirt. Let’s go through some of the problems with this. Whether he lives in Austin or not, he is definitely ‘that guy’. There is under […]

Counting down

Not to the New Year; what kind of a loser do you take me for?? Besides, it’s not really New Year’s Eve without Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Year’s Eve! Since Dick Clark is finally on the verge of death, ABC is replacing him with the lovable tag team of Regis Philbin and Ashlee Simpson. […]

For x-mas this year, kat and I went to minnesota to visit her aunt’s family. This marks two years in a row where I haven’t been with the family over the holiday. Last year, kat and I passed on the x-mas thing altogether and went to vegas (now that’s a holiday!). It […]

I Uped My Hertz

Can let you both burn cds and look at the web at the same time
Doesn’t use SIMMs (remember those?)

(sorry, no Tender Fury link)
Jim forwarded me a post from Charr, about eavesdropping. I think this post is awesome because I too am an eavesdropper. I’m not beating around the bush about it either, I do it all the time. I can’t turn it off. I’m like that guy who needs […]
