Good Coffee – NOT Starbucks
I like coffee. Ever since the one year I spent in College, I kind of got hooked on the stuff. I was going to Temple University, and when I would get off the Subway in North Philly, I’d get what I called “A Cup of Mud” from this Roach Coach that was right outside the […]
Aren’t they adorable?
I can’t help it – I think my cats are damn cute – and when I take pictures like this of them, I am suckered in even more. :)
Customers
If you work in customer support, I’ve got a couple of links you need to check out – you’ll love them. I guarantee it. :) Steve’s Think Tank Blog Entry Customerssuck.com – A Classic! I got a major laugh out of these. The first one is new to me today. The second one I’ve known […]
Winamp, Musicmatch Jukebox, & Me
There’s a new version of the Winamp media player out, and I really REALLY am into this new version – so much so that I wrote my history with Winamp, MusicMatch Jukebox, and how iTunes got me to go back to Winamp (sort of). :) When Winamp first came out, I really liked the program […]

Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game Book Review
Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game by Michael Lewis I finished this book in December of 2003. I’ve had it on my pile of books to read since the start of the 2003 season. I take too long to read books – probably because my pile to read is massive! :) Anyway… This […]
This Foxtrot is me
It’s me alright – my wife can tell you. Just this past Sunday I used almost half a bottle of Tabasco sauce in one omlette. :)
Helping a friend
Ever do something that makes you wonder why you offered to do it right after offering to do it? Last night, one of my wife’s coworkers called her at home and said that his car was non operational, and wanted to know if he could get a ride into work in the morning. Lynn declined, […]
Arod
Anyone who knows me knows that I’m a big baseball fan. I also (almost blindly) support my baseball team. I was as shocked as most people when Arod came here to Texas a few years ago. However, with the current bruhaha (sp?) regarding Arod being traded to the Red Sox…
