“My hypocrisy only goes so far”
I'm your huckleberry...Fiber to my curb
Throwing caution (and non-installable cable) to the wind, I signed up for AT&T's new fiber U-Verse service this week. As you may remember from last time, a tree had fallen on my potential for cable internet and the estimate to get everything in the neighborhood...
Big update
So, where were we? Oh yeah, life. Post-storm life has just been moving at an insane clip. The week following the storm, after cleaning up and clearing debris, I spent the remainder of the time packing for our move to the new house. Yes, after all that, we still had to...
Why I’m not voting
They both suck. Bailouts suck. I'm pissed off at the whole mess. Obama's top contributors: Goldman Sachs $691,930 University of California $611,207 Citigroup Inc $448,599 JPMorgan Chase & Co $442,919 McCain's Top Contributors: Merrill Lynch $298,413 Citigroup Inc...
We’re Alive
Well, it was a hell of a storm, but we made it through. I'm borrowing an internet connection so I'll make this quick. Our apartment suffered only minor damage but lost power, phone, and cable Friday night. Phone came back up first on Monday. Power on Wednesday and...
Ike
Just wanted to let everyone know that we'll be hunkering down for Hurricane Ike. They're evacuating some of the surrounding areas and most of Galveston, the island to our south. We're close enough to Houston city limits that we aren't in the mandatory evacuation area...
The Problem with Themes
Seriously, I can't find one that I like. It's rather pathetic. I flip-flop more on themes than presidential candidates do on issues. What I want really isn't that complicated, I just need to actually do it. What I'd like is a nice combination of Hemmingway and Jason...
New Theme
Smashing put up a new theme this morning and I kinda liked it. There's still some tweaks to be made (like why the damn XBL picture is lining up funny), but I think it could work. More on the house in the coming days, including photos. Very busy, be back in a jiff....
Fridge Update
Since he stormed off in a huff after our last encounter, we haven't heard anything from the guy who ruined our fridge. So, giving him the benefit of the doubt, I had given him until the end of this week to "make things right" as he said he would. Since it's Friday and...
Acid: Day 2
So the douchebag calls me. "Hey buddy" he says, "We're all finished up here, I cleaned up the floor and I think that fridge will be ok, I wiped most of it up, I think it just needs a good cleaning. Maybe I'll go get you guys some stainless steel polish." I didn't...
Acid
So, last night, the demo guy assures us that he's almost done and that he'll come back and finish up in the morning. Not a big deal, that sounds ok to me, but I go over to check on the job anyways, mostly because I'm the curious sort. Turns out that instead of using a...
