So, the Navy shot down an errant spy satellite today. The story they gave was concern over the toxicity of the fuel… and the media seemed to lap that up. Why is it that nobody has mentioned the fact that this satellite probably has millions of dollars worth of classified technology on it that other nations [...]
I called Amjal Safi, the Enterprise Manager, back today. His response to my claim that there’s no “detailing fee” in the agreement was “It also doesn’t say you can take your dog in the car.” Excuse me? Among some other things it doesn’t say I can do: Eat food. Sing along to the radio. Sing along to the [...]
Today my car stopped starting. Given my vast mechanical knowledge, I’m 5% certain that it is the battery. Or maybe a fuse, but probably the battery. Tomorrow I’m going to see if jumping it will help. If that’s not the problem, I think it’s time to get rid of it. I mean, honestly, I’ve been [...]
XKCD is always pretty funny.
Not my baby, of course. I took a little drive to Illinois yesterday (hence the lack of posting) but I did take a whole lot of pictures. She’s such a tiny little thing. Observe: Click for more pictures of Reese Scout also got to meet some ferrets, which was pretty funny.

So, after a false alarm earlier in the week, I inched one step closer to world domination this afternoon and became an uncle. No pictures as of yet, but I should be headed to Illinois this weekend to see mommy Kecia and baby Reese. If I get any pics between now and then, I’ll have them [...]
So I finally replaced my somewhat ancient cell phone with the blackberry I linked in the last post. So far, I’m really liking it. A lot. I cannot even imagine not having a real, full keyboard. I’ve also started using mu AIM screenname toomuchpete on the phone, so feel free to add that back onto your buddy [...]
So… the New Year’s Resolution came to a screeching halt yesterday when I just plum forgot to post. Oops. I guess it had to happen eventually, no? Anyway… my phone has finally reached the point that it cannot go a single day of use without being charged and I’m sick of it… so I’ll be getting [...]
So the anti-war nuts in Berkeley have been spending their time (do they have jobs?) protesting a Marine Corps recruiting station. Their city council voted on a resolution to voice their displeasure for the post and said “If recruiters choose to stay, they do so as uninvited and unwelcome intruders.”1 Typically, when I hear something like [...]
