“My hypocrisy only goes so far”
I'm your huckleberry...Ants
There are ants in my keyboard. I don't know how, or why, but there are. I've taken it apart 4 times. There's nothing for the ants to eat in my keyboard, but they keep coming back. Now I have to go buy a new one, which is $50, because it's Apple. Ants cost me $50. That...
Bad Design Makes Me Cry
Yesterday I was asked to work on a redesign for our inter-office "Good Practices" manual. It's a fancy way of saying "Employee Handbook". It's ugly, boring and no one wants to read it but every new hire is required to. I worked on my design, which is simple, clean and...
Flu-Shmoo
This Swine Flu crap is making me laugh. Seriously. I've gotten, in the past 3 days, multiple emails from governement agencies (because we get internal emails here at work) telling people to really be careful about this. This is totally and completely blown out of...
Seriously?
I had decided to purchase the MLB.com "Gameday Audio Premium". It's $20 for the season. It includes the audio from all the radio stations, home and away, for all the games. It also includes the "Gameday" page with live box-scores, stats, pitch locations, etc. That...
LAN Party
So, next weekend, all the ladies in our church are going to a women's retreat until Saturday night. That means just one thing. LAN Party! I've got a good sized group of guys coming over Friday afternoon for some gaming and we don't plan on stopping until the girls get...
What’s in Your Bag
A friend from church asked me last week how I was staying sane with all that was going on. I didn't know how to reply at the time, but think at least part of the answer is in my messenger bag. Last November, for our anniversary, my wife got me a really really nice...
The Fun Never Stops
Just wanted to give everyone a quick update. I'm sure most of you remember that my father-in-law was in the hospital last year with a very complicated bowel resection surgery. I haven't really talked about it since, but it's been ongoing since April of 2008. It's now...
Coming Attractions
So. We've made it to April. Spring is turning into summer and we haven't seen a decent game release since Christmas. Now it's conference and trade show season and all the big boys are announcing their game releases for the rest of the year. GDC has already happened...
Fantasy Baseball
Well, we had our fantasy baseball league's draft last night. I got a number of the guys involved as well as my brother and my old man. We had a great draft and I think everyone ended up with some good players. The very first pick I made was for the entirety of the...
Routine
As a rule, I don't listen to the radio. Music radio, AM, FM, HD or XM. However, as a daily routine, I listen to the radio twice. Once, for a half-hour on my drive to work. I listen to Mike & Mike on ESPN Radio. It's easily my favorite thing on the radio,...
