So I am at home tonight, Saturday, here in Houston. I lost my phone around 3 PM and didn’t find it until a few minutes ago. Stupid pockets. I hate them. They are the bane of my existence. If we could eliminate pockets we’d be a lot better off. Women with no pockets have the […]

Yes, I know I am really in a rut as far as updates go. I’ve been mostly busy with other computer related activities, but don’t think I haven’t been preparing cool stuff. For example, click here to see my side by side comparison of Pat’s and Geno’s cheesesteaks. These two businesses are here in Philadelphia […]

Can’t believe I’ve found this Star Trek toy on eBay. Had one when I was a wee lad and destructive tendencies didn’t bode well with its ability to survive my childhood. I’m watching this auction as if the fate of the free world depends on it. I’d originally been eyeing a Remco Space 1999 Stun […]

Click here for the Shields Family Reunion photos. Nice thumbnails and lots of descriptions will soon follow. 😉 Full report coming up later tonight (Monday). Sorry for the delay. Worky worky.

Okay, so I’ve been *really* bad about updating. I have updates that I wrote over the last 60 days that haven’t been posted. Expect those to appear (if they haven’t already). Me so busy. Miso soup tastes good. Me sew buttons back on when they fall off. Me solo. Okay, enough nonsense. On to the […]

It was Monday night. My phone rang. I picked it up. Me: ”Hello?” Phone: [long pause] ”That’s a weird way to answer the phone.” Me: ”Huh? That’s how I always answer the phone. Who is this?” Phone: ”Uhhh… who is this?” Me: ”I asked you first.” Phone: ”Ummm… I’m trying to get information.” Me: ”About […]

I’m leaning against the wall in the Grand Central Station subway track ramp. I am waiting for the number 4 to show up. Tonight I came to NY to see the trade center light towers and the sculpture “The Sphere” which used to reside in the courtyard between the towers. So freaky that it was […]

Been listening to a lot of Trent Reznor. Specifically All That Could Have Been and Halo 17 Disc 2. In this column you’ll find lyrics to The Wretched. I wish I could come up with stuff like this. Well, it’s either that or maybe it’s the comfort in fact that someone else is more ticked […]
