Dave Barry’s recap of 2003 was a good read this morning.
I have lots of info to impart, with one big football item, and one big Return of the King item, but I have to get working on a project for school, so I will have to come back to that info later.

Every now and again, I prefer to let people know what I’m playing on the video game side of things, which unfortunately has been turned away from the PC arena as of late, mostly because of money (I just couldn’t afford to play Galaxies anymore, not with the tooth work I have coming around the [...]

I just got back from taking my 7th/8th grade youth out to go cosmic bowling, and let me tell you that it was a total and complete blast.
There weren’t as many as I had been led to believe were coming, which was pretty good, but we still managed to end up with about 25 or [...]

Bit of a weak Friday Five this week, if you ask me, but here goes.
1. List your five favorite beverages.
I’m not going to limit myself to commercial drinks - I will say hot wassail (depends on the recipe), Diet Coke, Mountain Dew, any kind of iced tea, and lastly ice water (because three trillion fish [...]

1. What was your most memorable present you received as a child? Good or bad.
The first Christmas present I remember receiving as a child was a Pac-Man sleeping bag (one of those cheap, cloth bags that you give children for “camping out” in the house). The most memorable would have been the Nintendo I [...]

This has since been taken down, but it’s about the most humorous thing I’ve read in a while that’s come out of a government office.

I planned on doing this yesterday morning (to coincide with the publish of TMQ, as always). I planned on then doing so yesterday evening, but I ended up getting sucked into a (very nice) reception here at church after the preschool Christmas program - which I have taped and will likely be posting somewhere [...]

Had some pain problem with biting on a filling on Monday (the filling had been placed one week prior), and so I went to the dentist on Tuesday to have it looked at. He found what he called a slight high spot on the filling, but he also mentioned that, since the filling was [...]

First off, I have to get these links off my browser that I’ve had queued up for three days:
Quite possibly the one stupid gadget I must have at some point in my life, if only for the sheer entertainment factor it would involve: a cell-phone jammer with a 10-meter radius.

Well, between this past weekend and today, the first of the preparations for my solid state DDR pad have begun to take place. I picked up a second soft pad (so I can strip out the contact panel and use it as a control interpreter), and I have picked up my order of polycarbonate [...]

Well, the situation I have been waiting for has just recently come to a head, and I’m not entirely sure what’s going to happen with it. There’s going to be a big announcement, and a big meeting, and I suppose I will see what happens with the whole situation after that point. If [...]
