Observations, rants, and musings by Joe Siegler.
If you’re reading this, you’ve noticed my new blog look. This is something I worked up some time ago, but never actually launched, but today decided to go with it. I haven’t totally finished it, some of the sub pages still aren’t finished, but I’m still working on that. So if you see some broken […]
At work I have one of those flip calendars where each day is a new saying. Well, the one I have at work is “The Best of George Carlin”. Today’s calendar entry was pretty funny, I thought I’d share it. “There is something refreshingly ironic about people lying on the beach contracting skin cancer, in […]
Here’s another entry from the “Would you please just GO AWAY” department. A group in Minnesota is protesting the Minnesota Twins’ plan to give away GI Joe doll to kids. I’m so blind with irritation over this, I don’t even know where to begin my rant. People like this just need to GO AWAY. It’s […]

Radio sucks. I don’t like it. I prefer to listen to my own CD’s. I’d have an iPod, but for the amount of music I have, I’d need the biggest one, and I can’t afford that. What I’m about to write here further puts me in the “radio sucks” camp. When I do listen to […]
It’s been renewed. Thank god. I don’t want to merit the value of the various Star Trek series. I have loved all of them (even the Animated series). I like Enterprise. I loved DS9 (my favorite Trek series). I know others don’t. Fine. I don’t care – I love them, and I like watching them. […]
Six Apart issued v3.0 of their Movable Type blog software today. They’re charging now. Everyone freaks the hell out cuz they have to pay now. Oh Waaaah.
