So… I got a Mac. A Mac Mini to be specific. I officially know nothing about it except what Manny and Amy have been able to beat through my thick skull. The user experience was everything I expected it to be, given Apple’s reputation, and so far I like it. We’ll see what happens when I [...]
I’ve been kinda busy this Memorial Day weekend with the new liveblogging site that Manny and I are working on. To keep you entertained though, I offer the following: Phone Sex Pranks — The guy is a comedian who calls phone sex lines and pretends to be into weird stuff like Clippy, stereotypical Jewish mothers, and [...]
So… I’m not having very good luck with this game, but it’s kinda fun. A ten-armed brass idol, the Dashabooja, is your dealer. Expertly dispensing all 52 cards in a standard deck at once, the hypnotically graceful statue deals ten hands of poker at a time, and rewards you according to the [...]
So this morning I was supposed to have my first trial. It didn’t quite happen that way. I did all the prep. I was ready. The defendant was toast (maybe). Instead of taking the chance, though, she accepted a plea offer that had been on the table for months and months. I’m working on the assumption1 [...]

In case you were unclear, you should go to church: Saw that one somewhere near Dothan on Hwy 231. Before we left, we picked up a pound or so of giant gulf shrimp. Today I grilled some of them up: Last but not least, we saw a pretty expansive little Bonsai shop on the way back, so [...]
I saw a post over on Dizzy’s blog about a student who was claiming unemployment. In the comments, she intimated a few times that she was uncomfortable with the fact that this guy thought entitlement programs should be done away with but he was still making use of one of them. Various commenters insinuated that [...]
Mmmm. I’ve eaten a lot of seafood over the past few days. There is more yet to come. For now, how about you just go look at the pictures: I’ll be keeping the photoset somewhat up-to-date. And maybe posting occasionally.
Vacation this year comes complete with teh wireless intarwebs. Woo! Last night we did some drinking, played some games, and kicked of this season of Crab Rodeo. I did a pretty decent job last night, earning myself the nickname “Crab Whisperer”. In other news, I start interning at a prosecutor’s office a week from tomorrow. I [...]
In ancient times scientists believed that the heavens revolved around the earth. The geocentrists, as they were called, were in charge until around the 16th century when those crazy heliocentrists started to make some in-roads. There was hot debate, in those days, about what was at the universe’s center. The debate was a bit [...]
