Ever wish you could be a fly on the wall? Well I have one. It’s sitting on my cubicle wall, just sitting there, staring at me. I know it’s not dead, I saw it fly there an hour ago. And occasionally it washes itself. But mostly it’s just sitting there, staring at me. It’s notContinue reading “what does it want from me?!”

Well the holiday weekend us almost upon us – us American’s, that is. I love 3-day weekends, I have to admit. Who doesn’t? And I have plans for this one.

So, Pete has this new thing, see, and it happens to be launching today – he says the site isn’t fully functional as of yet, but he was determined to go live – something about pants, and links not finished.

the definition of irony:
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been scoffing at all the news reports claiming “The price of gas is nearing $4.00 a gallon!” mostly because I’d already been paying well over $4.00/gallon for diesel.

a remapping we will go
So it’s been quiet here for a few days mostly because 1) I’ve been busy, and 2) I’ve been REALLY REALLY BUSY! Computers are such a love/hate issue. Last week, the people in charge of our networking system at work decided to switch things up a bit – justifying their paychecks maybe, I dunno. WhatContinue reading “a remapping we will go”
the truth ain’t out there
So, I happen to live directly across an inlet from a massive naval base – it’s where my Father worked all of my life, and where my brother-in-law works now. I grew up here, and with the exception of 10 years spent living and working in downtown Seattle, I’ve been in this town all myContinue reading “the truth ain’t out there”
