Hide and Go Seek For Adults

Professor Lawrence M. Krauss of Case Western Reserve University was Monday night's guest on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory. I caught a bit of the show while I was driving home. He proposed the following calculation and said something I thought was even more brilliant than the calculation... Sign in to see full entry.

Okay I Have Resisted Long Enough

Microsoft is evil. I haven't wanted to acknowledge it. I have defended them to my mac-using buddies. BUT charging a customer $245 per call just to talk to them on the phone is a jack. If a customer has purchased a product they should receive support for it until they are no longer using it. Period.... Sign in to see full entry.

Another Ghanian Suspect

Woman with African features supposedly from Brooklyn. Another non-specific email address at yahoo.com. More overly-complimentary pleasantries. Seeking men ages 30-121. It just has a familiar feel to it. So I told her/him/it no thanks. Oh yeah, and this one says that regardless of whether I want to... Sign in to see full entry.

A Little Monday Morning Longhorn Football Blogging

Once Again The Longhorns Saw Red SEVEN and O TEXAS 52 TEXAS TECH 17 I haven't said anything since the Ohio State game. But so far we are undefeated. After tripping up the Buckeyes, my buddy Doug said I was gloating. Far be it from me to dispute my friend's wisdom. So far this season we've got seven... Sign in to see full entry.

ENOUGH II: Replacing Rattletrap Parts

The CD/RW drive has been making old-moving-part noises for a few months now and not ejecting the disc to the point that I was having to reboot the machine. So yesterday morning I replaced it with a DVD/RW drive...yet another brand new part that I have had sitting around here for several months. I am... Sign in to see full entry.

ENOUGH!

I had to install a new hard drive yesterday morning. I did not get to sleep until probably 7am. The drive on this computer was four years old. It was the original drive that was installed in the case when I had the now defunct company build this computer back in August 2001. It was making a lot of... Sign in to see full entry.

Children: Amazing Survivalists

It's a wonder any of us ever make it to our teens, let alone to adulthood. I had this thought about three weeks ago when I was walking down the Congress Avenue bridge and observed my friend's 9 year old daughter zip through the crowd out of sight in about 1.3 seconds. It's not like she was even... Sign in to see full entry.
