Want to know that you’re thinking more and more about Linux? When you’re in a Microsoft Windows XP command prompt and you use “ls -l” without thinking about it instead of “dir”. ;)

A question about Jesus

byJoe Siegler
Posted on February 19, 2004December 14, 2022

I’ve been reading the Purpose Driven life recently, and something I read last night made me think. One of the basic tenants of Christianity is that Jesus died on the cross for our/my sins. I’m not here to debunk that or even attempt. I personally believe that, but what I’m wondering is this.. What about […]

I don’t even mind him going to the Yankees. That’s not the worst part. The worst part is that we’re giving any money at all to the Yankees. They Yankees don’t GET money, they PAY money! Click here to see the salary breakdown. It’s sad. I don’t really want to say a whole lot more […]

New Stuff on the blog

I’ve made a few changes on the blog this evening. First off I noticed that the Weatherpixie site is back up – I thought it was gone, so I removed it. Turns out it’s still there, so I restored the weatherpixie code. I also changed my “pixie” as I found one that has a cat […]

w00t! Happy day. I got my pre-ordered individual game Texas Rangers tickets handed to me today. These aren’t my season tickets, but ones I bought aside from my season ticket plan. I now have something to put on my desk and stare at and envision the baseball field alive with play now. :) OK, that’s […]

Well, on Monday afternoon, my wife and I bought a new truck. We got a 2004 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab Sport Model. It’s my fifth car I’ve ever owned, and my first truck. As I write this, I’ve had it less than 24 hours, and I have to say, it’s very cool, and has tons […]

Everyone else is talking about this, I might as well weigh in on the subject, too. OK, as I’m sure everyone noticed on Sunday evening, Janet Jackson had her right breast exposed on national television. It was quite frankly, the only thing worthwhile about the entire halftime show.
