I love being on vacation. It gives me so much extra time to…well, waste. And how better to waste your time than by playing games! I’ve gotten back into PC gaming after a bit of a respite (truth be told, I was getting a bit sick of the whole thing, what with ATI driver cock-ups [...]

Okay, I’ve chilled out. The asswipe who bounced my paycheck at least had the balls to return my phone call and explain what happened. Obviously I don’t know if he was lying through his teeth or what, but I have a feeling he was honest about it. I don’t feel as though this guy is [...]

You may recall the Oddball entry of a few days ago, in which I remarked with much pleasantness that I had finally been paid the $660 I was owed for a website and media kit I’d just designed. Well, I am now equally happy to report that the $660 corporate check I was written has [...]

And no, I have no earthly idea why I just titled today’s entry after the slogan for Mylanta. Anyway, if any of you have been wondering where I’ve been the last few days, I’ve been….away. Seriously, my wife and I have been on vacation. We took a drive up to Orlando and had a great [...]

In the three and a half years I’ve lived in south Florida, I’ve done my fair share of griping about the roads. While the traffic does suck during the season, the traffic is not really worth bitching about—because the traffic is caused by something else, and that something is the roads and all things related.

I’ve been getting some strange vibes from the guy, to the point where I was worried he wasn’t going to pay me for my efforts (at [...]

So this morning I’m supposed to meet with this magazine guy I’m freelancing some design work for. He had a minor change to a media kit I worked up, so I burned a new CD and agreed to drop by yesterday evening after work to drop it off. He calls me a couple hours [...]

Crazy busy! In an attempt to garner some quick cash for some vehicular repair jobs, I loaded myself down with freelance tasks. It hasn’t been too bad, but it’s certainly kept me busier than I anticipated. It’s funny how every client always comes to me in their eleventh hour and needs something in hours, [...]

This morning I found this in my e-mail, courtesy of a friend:

Now every time I see one of those waste-of-money Hummer H2 “testosterone injectors,” this is what I’m gonna think of!

I love cars, but I sure can be mechanically stupid. This is what scares me into not wanting to attempt larger operations on my Formula. Since I need to drive KITT to the DMV tomorrow to apply for a tag and registration, I decided to change the oil tonight before that gasoline in there does [...]
