As I sit here waiting for UPS to show up with my packages (all three of which are marked as “out for delivery”), I think this.. Why can’t we have real tracking information? Their existing tracking information should be able to tell which truck a package is in. Slap a GPS machine in each UPS […]

Steve Martin joke aside, two days ago, we got a bunch of new phone books delivered to the house. That’s no big deal, I’ve been seeing phone books at the house for as long as I can remember (and even one disasterous time Lynn and I delivered them, too!). Anyway, I left them there because […]

There’s a new David Gilmour album coming out in 2006. It’s going to be called “On an Island”. It’s been 21 years since Gilmour last released a solo album, and 11 since the last Pink Floyd studio album, so this is very welcome news. I don’t know anything more about it other than it’s title […]

I’ve been a user of the Firefox web browser for some time now. There’s been a lot written in the press about how Firefox is safer over IE, and I believe that to only marginally be true. Firefox is considered safer because it’s got a smaller market value, and there’s fewer attacks on it vs. […]

Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card Am I the only person who has never read this book? I had a few people at work chastise me for not having read it, one of them went to his office and brought me a copy. Now I need to find the time to read it. :)

Read this and weep. It’s scary how nonsensical the MPAA is. These people need to go away. I’m not advocating anarchy and no control, but if you read through all of what I link to above, it’s scary. Spend some time and read this. It made me so mad, I can’t say anything about it, […]

Anyone who knows me knows I love to wear baseball caps. Always have. Part of the problem is that I live in Texas, and if I wear one outside in the summer for more than a few times, they tend to get nasty. The immediate response is “get another one”. That’s fine, except.. To me […]
