Slither sploosh

November 11th 2008 in Journal

A new site design. I cheated a little and used an existing design that I modified for my purposes. I like the finished product and, while I may be changing formatting a little in the future, I’m sticking with it.
Now for some Chuck.
Mmm, hot blonde spy.

Footprints in the aether

November 11th 2008

Once again, I find myself following the path of the Honorable Reverend Jim. He’s been using this new fangled gadget called Ping.FM to update all his social networks at once. I liked it and started using it. I also found a handy-dandy Wordpress plugin, called pingpressfm, that’s supposed to update those same social networks when [...]

November 10th 2008

So, I’m driving back from lunch today and I see this billboard with the following, in huge, block type:
Every 28 minutes another NC teenager becomes pregnant

It’s too bad I only got one

October 7th 2008

Well, it’s done. Seems I wasn’t meant for just the sedation anesthesia. They ended up having to put me under general; something to do with needing help breathing. The doctor’s recommended I have a sleep study done to check for possible sleep apnea.
Apart from that, the wicked cotton mouth, and the ridiculous boot pictured above, [...]

Don’t look at me; I’m hideous

September 25th 2008

I promised before pictures, and here they are. The first one is without socks. If you know what to look for, it’s pretty obvious. The left foot is the problem one. You can see how there’s a bump at the head of the first metatarsal and the big toe slants inwards toward the second toe. [...]

Clean, to the bone

September 22nd 2008

No one would argue that the most important tool to a Marine is his rifle; this is drilled into us from day one of boot camp, when we are taught the Rifleman’s Creed. What movies don’t tell you, though, is that a Marine’s second most important set of tools are their feet; what good is [...]

Bill Gates not top philanthropist

September 11th 2008

You know, I bet you if you do the research, this guy probably donates more money than anyone on the planet:

Maybe, Harry Weiner is the bigger giver, though, who knows.

Yes, yes. I know it’s been a hellaciously long time since I last posted. Yes, yes. I know some of you have been wondering where the [...]
