Unfortunately I’m not talking about a Knight Rider-style front end—yet—but yesterday my dad and I were able to adjust the Formula’s hood so that it no longer rests on top of the front clip. Since I’ve owned the car, I’ve noticed that the hood sticks up about an eighth of an inch on the driver’s [...]

With our Christmas vacation at an end, my wife and I returned to Florida on Friday night. It had been a good trip, but we were both glad to be home. I was tired of suffering from mold-induced respiratory problems and not being able to breathe while sleeping. The air was mild—the weather here is [...]

At a friend’s urging—or would that be “against a friend’s stern warning”?—I checked out FanFiction.net. Why I do these things to myself, I’ll never know. But since Web Site Number Nine was taken offline indefinitely due to a “server move”, I have to satiate my burning desire for schlocky fanfic somehow, right? (Wait a minute—what [...]

Well, the old folks are at it again. In the news today:

A 92-year-old woman who wanted to take a written driving test crashed her vehicle into a Utah Department of Public Safety building, police said.
“When she was going to park the car, apparently she must have mistaken the gas for the brake and drove into [...]

In yesterday’s post, I mentioned that I’m forgoing the Xbox/laptop drag-along this Christmas, and relying only on the computers at my parents’ house for gaming entertainment. Since one of these computers is a three-year-old notebook and the other is an eight-year-old Pentium Pro, I decided that the only games I’m going to be playing [...]

Christmas is almost here. It seems like the holidays come and go with ever-increasing rapidity as each year goes by. For instance, I feel like we were just in Michigan for last year’s holiday festivities, opening gifts, taking pictures of my parents’ dog and of the snow-covered landscape outside our back door. [...]

Despite the deluge of complaints fellow gamers are raining down upon Ion Storm and Warren Spector (of System Shock fame) for fudging up the sequel to one of the best PC games in recent memory, I bought Deus Ex: Invisible War yesterday. (Thanks to my wife for this, since she bought the this and X2: [...]

Thought I’d revisit my earlier post entitled same, since it was this afternoon during which the joyous occasion of me finally getting paid took place. Remember that dummkopf who bounced a check for my design services? I sent him a bill, demanded a cashier’s check be supplied within 7 days, and waited. For [...]

I just got back to the office after picking up my Trans Am at the dealer, and what should I see but an e-mail from our CFO. It was a company-wide message about our new office space. To explain: The lease on our current office building is up at the end of March, and I’m [...]

Okay, so I got home tonight, cranked up the Formula and it stalled right away. It was in the garage all afternoon and it certainly wasn’t 40-50 degrees during the day, so the weather has nothing to do with the hard starting. It’s simply a factor of time. Time in which something is happening. I’m [...]
