Today is the Molly’s at the Market Annual St. Patty’s Day Parade. In preparation, a big ole group of us will be riding around the city in limos, wearing tuxes and dresses, to go bar-hopping with a police escort. As for me, I’m donning a pair of green Chucks, a black kilt, tuxedo shirt, green… Continue reading WHARRGARBL

Oklahoma: Saving us from ourselves
I could write up this whole elegant diatribe on blah blah blah, but I’m tired and plagiarism is much easier and faster. So without further ado, I give you this summary and select comments from a story posted on Slashdot: “Notable evolutionary biologist, author, and speaker Richard Dawkins was recently invited to speak on the… Continue reading Oklahoma: Saving us from ourselves
Testing 1,2,3. Sibilance, Sibilance.
I need to get back on this horse. I got called out (not by name) by Pistolette, and need to take action. I actually updated my wordpress installation (oooh, shiny!) and installed a new plugin, so it will x-post to my old LJ account – I notice that some of you post on the LJ… Continue reading Testing 1,2,3.

2009 Marching Orders
I know things have been sparse here, but I’ve been busy. Anyway, before I go off on a tangent, I would like to invite you to The 2009 March of the St. Anthony Ramblers Drinks and breakfast at 9, march at 10. We are again fortunate to have Panorama Brass Band tour with us throughout… Continue reading 2009 Marching Orders
Reposting and Recycling
Thanks to a friend’s post, I learned this morning that SDT is working on a recycling program. It would appear that they require 500 signups per area/zipcode in order to enable service in the area, so sign up and pass it on! You can learn more and/or sign up at sdtwds.com/recycle/ – on the right… Continue reading Reposting and Recycling
The <2008> Tag is now deprecated.*
My 2008 resolution to read a bunch of books was a miserable, fiery failure. To my credit, I did destroy my knee (the drugs did not allow me to read), buy a house, get a dog, work _alot_, play kickball, and buy a Wii. I did really enjoy the books I managed to read, I… Continue reading The <2008> Tag is now deprecated.*
What a difference 150 years makes.
I ran across this quote this morning, and thought I’d share. I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in anyway the social and political equality of the white and black races – that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters… Continue reading What a difference 150 years makes.
I An Be Wiitahded
Bea’s Mom couldn’t have known the full extent of what she was doing when she bought a Wii. Classic case of good intentions gone awry. I spent a good part of the evening tonight doing two things: reading Neil Stephenson’s Anathem while compiling software packages in the background, and playing the following on the Wii:… Continue reading I An Be Wiitahded
Adventures in Friendly-Fire
Last night was another fun campaign of Left 4 Dead with M.Roman (Demotros), W.Curry (Squillis), and Curry’s brother (BaczandeR). We ran through the Death Toll campaign in just under and hour and a half, and luckily everyone had a voice setup going, so we could talk throughout. This morning I even went so far as… Continue reading Adventures in Friendly-Fire
Department of Redundancy Department
I got a call (well, a text, really) this morning, prompting me to hurriedly run out of my house and head to the office. My linux server, the workhorse, the reliable one, was apparently offline. Suck. I get there, and while it is powered up, it is absolutely unresponsive. Might as well had been off.… Continue reading Department of Redundancy Department
