We’re back from our trip to San Francisco! Actually, we’ve been back since Sunday, but I’ve been too tired to post — or do much of anything, so I took an extra day off from work today. Apple and I had some fun out in California, did some cool stuff and took a [...]

I upgraded the Oddball Photo Gallery over the weekend, and have noted that it keeps flaking out and throwing “storage failure” errors. I think I know how to correct this, but I can’t get to it anytime soon. In the meantime, if you get an error, just refresh the page.

Sorry…I seem to have taken a few days “off.” You’re meant to envision me making air quotes when you read the word “off,” because this weekend I was certainly anything but “off.” Unless you count “off my rocker,” which is where I just about ended up going after working 24 solid hours in [...]

The replacement spoiler I ordered for my GTO (after losing the original one in a careless accident) arrived this morning, and during the evening I got it installed. What a relief — it wasn’t any trouble at all, and the end result is that the car looks good as new. Can’t even tell [...]

I took a break this evening for long enough to briefly try three new game demos for my Xbox360 which I downloaded from Xbox Live. Figured I might as well post my impressions here for the “daily update.”
Burnout: Revenge
The latest game in the Burnout franchise is the first to arrive on the Xbox360, but [...]

…they’ll only slow ya down!
Okay, I just wanted to start tonight’s update with an inside joke. Can you blame me? Actually, perhaps you can; however, I don’t care. Smoke a key of that, Crockett.
Had some major hair-tearing this morning. My day got started with another one of those phone meetings where [...]

Randomness: It’s a Post Without a Point!™ Or, when you’ve got very little to say about a whole bunch of things.
A couple days ago I received a weird call from [a computerized voice] at J.D. Power & Associates, reminding me that if I received a survey from them about my new Pontiac, to please [...]

The Detroit News today is host to a review of Need for Speed: Most Wanted, the latest game in the NFS franchise, written by Darrin Hill. Since this was a game I enjoyed, I briefly skimmed through the article. The whole thing starts off on the wrong foot by the virtue [...]

At last, the sports gauge pack I ordered from JHP Vehicle Enhancements in Australia arrived this week, and this morning I got it installed. I had actually tried twice already this week to do the installation, but my efforts kept getting hampered by the need for either more daylight or some tool I didn’t [...]

By now you’ve most likely seen the news: gigantic protests in some of the country’s largest cities, orchestrated by illegal immigrants (and those who support them) in opposition to new immigration reform proposed in the U.S. Congress. Now there’s talk of a work walk-out and march in a city adjacent to where I live. [...]
