I would just like to share that I just received a new desk chair from our buliding services guys and it feels wonderful.
Actual back support is highly underrated.

From John Gruber’s Daring Fireball blog:
The iPod Juggernaut
A very insightful look at the portable music player market and Apple’s stranglehold thereof. He’s right on all points, of course: as an iPod owner and user and general Apple evangelist in my geek life, I’ve heard many of the arguments against the iPod, and this pretty [...]

From Daring Fireball:
There’s a line in The Usual Suspects where Kevin Spacey’s character Verbal Kint says, “The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.â€
The greatest trick Microsoft has gotten away with is convincing the public that the Wintel PC platform is open.
Great defense to the number-one [...]

Now you too can dress like The Steve!
The best part is the link in the lower-right-hand corner:
Click here to sue, please.
Classic. But in the meantime, if you want to go around clothed like the most understatedly fashionable CEO in the business world, you be my guest.

If you have ever worked with a corporate mindset, been interested in marketing, or are even just a geek in general, you owe it to yourself to check out this link.
Found via digg.
I will say for the record that this is exactly what I expect when we get around to shopping for Windows Vista, seeing as [...]

Work is good.
It’s not exactly what I thought it would be based on the job description, but i would say that no one should take that as a bad thing. It’s definitely more work than I thought it was going to be at first blush, but keeping me busy is usually something that people need [...]

Yeah, so I’ve got one.
Achernar Dni’s Gamer card
People who have any kind of access to Xbox Live who read this regularly are required by some sort of obscure law to add me to their friends list immediately. I will respond rather quickly, since I’m trying to build my friends list at this point.
The obvious [...]

About that job I’ve been talking about?
Yeah, I got it.
Tuesday, 20 December, 2005 – 01:05
Well, I’ve certainly had my intuition challenged with this job I’ve been interviewing for.
The second interview, as I mentioned before, was all right - not the best I could have offered, but that was mostly determined by the subject material and my ability to defend myself in front of two complete strangers.
So I called in [...]

Every man should make it his mission in life to have a little daughter.
My little girl just came over to me as I was completing my previous entry, and my mood has lightened considerably. She seems to have a knack for that; coming to give me that little hug or to be smiling and [...]

Hey! It snowed overnight!
And there’s still some on the ground!
That ought to make my morning commute fantastic.

Well, I didn’t just come back from the hospital, but have indeed been there a few times so far this afternoon and now finally have the time to sit down and make sure that people who should know do know.
Caleb Isaac was born this afternoon (I was so excited and unbalanced that I don’t remember [...]

Just a quickie to let people know what’s going on.
I know I haven’t said anything in quite some time, so I figured there might be one or two people who had wondered if I had disappeared or anything more serious.
I didn’t get the job with the International Center, which was a big time bummer, but [...]

I did have a job interview last Thursday at the International Center of the LC-MS, and I personally thought it went quite well.
At the moment, I’m simply waiting for a response. I have been told that they have other candidates coming in this week to interview for the same position, and that I can [...]

We’re up here (actually, down here, because it’s in a basement) in Information Services, waiting for the streaming video to arrive concerning the selection of the new president of the seminary. Right now, all we can see is a podium, which is not all that uninteresting in and of itself, but we’re all too [...]

Well, I finally went and found a way to export all my old LiveJournal entries and shoehorn them into WordPress. Unfortunately, it’s going to take quite a lot of time to go through and edit them all and make sure that they are working in the WP system and not messed up.
On a cursory [...]

Check it out on Slashdot.
Check it out on Ars Technica.
Check it out on BoingBoing.
The greatest threat to consumer freedom in recent American history, the so-called “broadcast flag,” has been soundly defeated in a court of law. Your rights to watch and record whatever television programs you wish has been protected, rather than savagely and [...]

So I go to log into the Penny-Arcade forums, and I find the board closed, and this message staring me in the face:
Ok here is the deal, some one (or a rouge mod) has atleast junior admin status here on the boards. I have to be up in early in the morning and I don’t [...]

…however, it seems they had some kind of a hardware failure and they’re currently trying to recover from it, so I can’t look at any of my pictures, nor can I upload new ones, nor can I go ahead and pay for a charter membership.
Too bad.
I suppose I’m just going to have to study for [...]

Well, I had completely planned on finishing my redesign, and then I (and my wife) ended up getting sick last night, and it’s safe to say that I’ll now be catching up on schoolwork for a little bit instead of working on the redesign.
The new header graphic that I’ve replaced the original Kubrick one with [...]

from MacRumors:
According to an anonymous report, Apple and ATI have been in talks about either creating or purchasing a Game Development unit.
The purpose of such a division would presumably be to create compelling games for the Mac platform to help attract more PC users to switch to the Mac platform.
Such a move would not be [...]

Price is a little steep, but I’d be all over it if I had money.
Or a yard.
*blink*
Actually, now that I think about it, I’d totally buy this just so I could say I had a robotic lawnmower.
