The Real Geek Squad

Sunday, July 31, 2005

Most of you have heard of Best Buy’s so-called “Geek Squad.” You know, the guys who drive around in stupid looking black and white VW Beatles, wearing outfits no honest geek would be caught dead wearing. They need a change. I worked in front-line tech support for a year. Know what the single biggest problem [...]

Endsummer Update

Monday, July 25, 2005

Wow, it’s already less than a month until I go back to school. Shortest summer *ever*. It rather sucks that the extension wasn’t approved. Not just because that means only two more paychecks, but I won’t get paid to essentially hang out with my kids for another two weeks, especially the bike camp. C’est la [...]

Happy Birthday!

Saturday, July 16, 2005

Sixty years ago today, the world’s first atomic bomb exploded in New Mexico to see if the durned things actually worked. In the spirit of the First Amendment, here’s a link to Wikipedia’s article on nuclear weapon design.

Idiocy of the Copyright

Wednesday, July 13, 2005

Schroedinger’s cat is not dead.
The above gag will not work if (a) you use Internet Explorer, or (b) you don’t grok quantum mechanics even a little. If it’s (a) that borks you, then Get A Real Browser™.

Suckyness

Friday, July 8, 2005

So, went out with the bike camp today for a long-haul ride. It started out kinda phunky, as my shorts leg kept catching my downtube shifters, thus shifting me when I didn’t want to, like when I was trying to accelerate away from a red light, it ended up shifting into my big chainring, thus [...]

Work

Wednesday, July 6, 2005

I never knew working with Teen Camp™ could be this fun. I mean, these kids are awesome. I never thought I’d be ever caught dead saying this, much less alive and kickin’. They enjoy coming to camp, and they have fun. And they listen. And they’re not complete asstards. A variety of things.
Much better, however [...]

New CMS!

Sunday, July 3, 2005

Alright, I moved my site over to Wordpress, and am giving it a shot. Blog:CMS was just too… yucky for me to take anymore. It’s still accessible right here if you really care at all. I’ll see where this Wordpress takes me. Until then, TTFN.
NOTE FROM 2007: None of these links worked, as I’ve long [...]
