Observations, rants, and musings by Joe Siegler.
As you can see by reading this, I’ve had a major overhaul to my blog. While I was happy with the old look I had, there recently was a contest by Six Apart (the people who make the blog software) for folks to make new design layouts for the software. This contest is over, and […]
I get a lot of spam. In 2005, I got just under half a million pieces of it myself at my work email account. So I would like to think I am familiar with it. Each morning I download my 500 or so pieces of the stuff that have built up since the time I […]
Last night my wife posted an entry on her blog detailing everything she did in a day of taking care of Samantha. It’s rather a lot of stuff, and from my perspective appeared to be designed to show off the fact that taking care of a baby/toddler keeps you from having any kind of set […]
You know one of the casualties of the National Hockey League lockout was their exposure on ESPN.

Last night I couldn’t sleep. I had finished reading a book, and wasn’t ready to hit the pillow yet, so I flipped on the TV. I was’t expecting to be up long, so I didn’t watch any of the recorded things on my TiVo. So I flipped. I landed on the History Channel. There’s lots […]
You know with the real flood of email I get (about half a million pieces in 2005 alone), every once in awhile something happens that make me laugh about it. The other day I was looking through my spam, and saw this. It just struck me funny. Spammers use bots to insert names and phrases […]
It seems that no matter what I do, my iPod earbuds always end up looking like this. Anyone have any decent ideas on how to stop this from happening? Do I need to get something else other than the earbuds, which sometimes have a hard time staying in my ears anyway (and sound fairly flat, […]
