New Nickels
My wife and I have been a big fan of the State Quarter program that the US government put into place in 1999 (we finally get my state’s quarter this year – TEXAS!). Anyway, there was that dollar coin introduced in 2000, which again failed to make much of a splash – I don’t think […]
March “Madness”
Joe SieglerMarch is such a tease of a month. It’s the month before the greatest sport in the world (Yeah, it has problems, but what doesn’t) gets rolling. That is, of course, baseball. However, the most annoying part is all the godawful “March Madness” crap that we have to wade through in the meantime. In a […]
Metric Confusion
I was sitting here tonight, and this thought just popped into my head. For a country that deals in figures like gallons and miles, why is it that our soda cans are in ounces, but our big plastic soda bottles are in litres? Excuse me, but I don’t think our country ever adopted the metric […]
Linux creeps in
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
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 […]
Political correctness runs amok again
In another move by perpetually annoying group of twonks named PETA, they.. aw hell, just read the news story below. In honor of these morons, I’ll be sure and have a steak tonight.
This is just annoying
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 […]
The Bus to Nowhere
I was riding the shuttle bus to the American Airlines Center to attend a Dallas Stars game. As I was riding the bus, I glanced over at the part of hte bus wher they have free bus schedules for you. Then I noticed something strange about these particular schedules. It didn’t appear that this particular […]
I have baseball tickets!
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 […]
