So here was today’s plan: Wake up early. Gut and install new wiper blades. Renew car’s registration. Renew brake tag. Drive to Planet Houston, pick up servers, close office. Drive back to NOLA. Sounds easy, right? Well, here’s how it went: Woke up early. Installed new wiper blades. On I-35N, car freaked out. Kinda downshifted… Continue reading Zod returns to the Phantom Zone

“Better slip with foot than tongue”
Ah, such true words, Mr. Franklin. This past Sunday saw Bea, myself, and a group of friends playing croquet in City Park.

Donatello: Smells like a geek ran through here.
Yesterday was, well, nerdly. The bulk of the Late Night Krewe™ (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Big Easy Rollergirls), went on a Turtle-fueled movie binge. Here’s my day yesterday in a nutshell: Wake up, have a coffee, have a beer. Drive to Harahan (to Bea’s house). Play Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters while snacking… Continue reading Donatello: Smells like a geek ran through here.
