I realized today, but not for the first time, that I’m a bit of a nerd. Why? Well… I had this urge to be back on a good ol’ command like (like DOS or Linux) and then realized that there’s probably a Windows version of the Unix text editor Vi. I also installed a version of [...]

I would like to give a WARM Cheerfully Cynical welcome to the friendly men and women from Bose McKinney & Evans the Indianapolis Law Firm that Kiwanis International has on retainer. Now, it’d certainly be making a big assumption to say that the folks from BM&E are here because Kiwanis sent them, but in looking [...]

I’m still getting used to having internet, it’s a little odd. The computer doesn’t seem very useful if you don’t have it connected to the internet. Strange how that works. Anyway… not much to speak of as this weekend goes… hung out a bit, did some shopping, played mini-golf out at the park, stopped by [...]

So the FedEx man arrived today with our DSL modem. This was a good thing. We promptly shredded all of the packaging, tossed the installation CD and instructions in the middle of the room and ran off with the hardware to install it. After all, who needs the damn instructions anyway? Now, that’s the perfect [...]

Updating has been rough given the fact that I’m without internet access at the summer apartment for a while, and I’m really not able to spend a whole lot of time (read: almost none) updating the site from work. Nevertheless, things are going quite well here. Work is shaping up and starting to fall into place. [...]

The semester is over with, and for the first time in quite a few years I really feel like I’m standing on the edge of a brand new future. That sounds really cheesy and stupid, and it may be, but that’s how I feel. - My finals are done, the semester is over. In a few [...]

Let it be widely known that I have not become a morning person yet. This is just information for your own benefit. In between exams, I was browsing the news and scouring for things to post over on Fanblogs, but I ran across a really interesting article by Paul Graham about “hackers” (not people illegally breaking [...]

I mentioned starting a College Football News weblog back in April (here and here) and after getting in touch with a few folks to help post news, Fanblogs.com is up and running. Kevin has done a ton of work with the general setup and such (which has been good, considering it’s finals week here for [...]

As if this hypocritical, race-mongering, anti-semitic SOB didn’t have his hands in enough pots, now he’s calling on Alabama to hire a minority. I’m not sure what annoys me more about this situation. You have the fact that Jesse Jackson feels like he has to get himself into this particular spot-light because he’s not stirred up [...]

As we were waiting for President Witt’s hairbrained decision, we were watching CNN (of course!) and there was news about a high school in Georgia that held its first integrated prom LAST YEAR (yes, 2002) and the big news maker this year is that they’re going back to segregated proms this year (Story here). Well, [...]
