End of Silence

I officially and somewhat belatedly accept defeat in my attempt to participate in Holidailies this year. I’ve fallen too far behind to try to catch up at this point. Perhaps next year.
My project list continues to grow. I’ve got two websites and a pet film-related project slated for this site bearing down on me in [...]

My work holiday party was last night. It was pretty cool, my fifth one with this company. As I was driving the babysitter home after the party, we almost got hit by some pigfucker in an SUV. We were about 25-50 feet from from the the light at Burleson and Oltorf coming from the south [...]

There have been many days since the election when I wonder if I’m in the right place or not. Perhaps it’s from lack of sleep trying to meet a work deadline last night, but that feeling seems particularly strong after listening to/reading news over the last 24 hours.
For your consideration:

I was innocently checking out BBC News’s Day in Pictures when I came across this. The caption reads:
“Makoto Igarashi, inventor of the ‘lap pillow’, a top selling Japanese product, demonstrates his creation in Tokyo.”
A little searching reveals a few posts about the lap pillow before it was released. Apparently, it’s a follow-up to the boyfriend [...]

Time for a little geek-out. If you haven’t tried Google’s new Suggest feature, you should. It’s pretty cool in that it does a search as you type. It’s already made the rounds on Slashdot and other geek sites. Somebody went through and tried each letter in the alphabet to get the alphabet according to [...]

Ok, so I said I wouldn’t slip up and then the weekend goes by without a peep. I’m like Tim Meadows as Ike Turner humiliating Kevin Nealon on Weekend Update.
Illness still hangs over our house. The Boy seems to have recovered back to his bouncing off the walls self. There’s nothing sadder than a sick [...]

I posted a few months ago about my dismay that airport police at ABIA are now conducting random searches of vehicles driving up to the terminal. In the very same post, I linked Bruce Schneier’s site. He’s a well-known security expert who gives very good explantions of why random searches are ultimately ineffective.
Fast forward to [...]

Ok. I missed a day. I’m truly sorry. It’ll never happen again. Can you forgive me? No, wait. Don’t turn your back on me. I thought we had something… something special. And now you just want to throw it all away? Please. Stay. I’ll change.
I do have a good excuse. I’ve been under the weather [...]

No, not that kind of hick, Bill Hicks. I’m currently in the midst of a Bill Hicks marathon. I just finished reading American Scream: The Bill Hicks Story. I followed that up with a viewing of Bill Hicks Live - Satirist, Social Critic, Stand-Up Comedian, the new DVD from Ryko.
I think I was vaguely aware [...]
