“Turn it off, man! Turn it off! It’s sucking my will to live!”
This day, that is. I must have come down with some kind of cold virus, because the slight fever, sore throat and total body aches I’ve been dealing with since late last night are usually the indicator of such. So far, [...]

My parents just stopped by (my dad flew in from Detroit this evening) and dropped off a couple additional birthday presents, including the Chronicles of Riddick PC game that I’ve been anxious to check out, and the last volume of the original Star Trek TV series that I didn’t have on DVD. Thanks guys!
I [...]

All right, I’m 25 today. The first thing I noticed is that the PHP script on the colophon sidebar has updated itself to reflect as much, so at least I know it’s working. Between last night and this morning I’ve mostly been making sure everything is squared away with my web server move, [...]

That’s what somebody around here must think, anyway. My mom and her friend arrived from Michigan this evening, [...]

In between all the work I had to do this weekend, something cool happened. Apple and I bought new bikes yesterday. The cost was a birthday present from my grandmother, and I used half of it to outfit Apple with some wheels as well, so we could go for rides together. Although [...]

Today is a much better day than yesterday, or any of the days earlier in the week. It seems that once I resigned myself to the need to spend the weekend working and stopped trying to complete everything by today, suddenly I could relax again. So even working on the weekend is better [...]

Half an hour left? What is this, a dumb contest of some kind? Well, I did say I was going to try to post on the site more often, as I recall. Not that I have anything all that critical to say. Today started as the worst day yet this week, [...]
