Observations, rants, and musings by Joe Siegler.
Today is the launch of Apple’s iPhone. It’s funny, two guys from my office today are heading over to a store not too far from our office to try and get one later this afternoon. There’s iPhone stories all over the web today. But this one irked me. Check this: Movie stars, who are accustomed […]
This will probably amuse the guy who made the image, and perhaps one other person in the world, but I don’t care. It made me laugh. If you don’t get it, don’t worry about it. :)
My company has had a pinball machine in its offices for about a decade. It’s a really great machine called “Scared Stiff“. The theme is based around the character “Elvira: Mistress of the Dark”. As with most pinball machines, you can’t really get them anymore. Shame that they’re becoming such a rare thing. Anyways, since […]
You ever get so tired that your eyes hurt, and your body is aching, and your mind says “Look fool, go to sleep”, as your brain registers that it’s 2:30AM? But you’re not in the least tired? That’s where I am now. I should be asleep, but I just can’t bring myself to do it. […]

This is some research I did on the 10 actors who have played The Doctor on the TV show “Doctor Who” in regards to ‘length of service’. I needed a place to put this, so my blog is it. Note: Since David Tennant is the current doctor, these stats cover the 2007 series that is […]
Saturday is the day my wife works, and Daddy gets to take care of Samantha. As that’s gone on awhile now, I’ve gotten better at it, and I find true enjoyment at spending time with my daughter, and watching her grow up right in front of me. Still, I do enjoy nap time. :) So […]
You’d never actually want to do that, but that’s what someone is doing to Jimi Hendrix. The best way to honor one of our best all time guitarists is to name some sort of energy drink after him, isn’t it? I mean why not dig up his corpse, and set what’s left on fire? Wouldn’t […]
