I was hanging out tonight with Reaper, and we decided to get some ice cream (from Ritter’s, the best ice cream store on Earth). On our way back to Reaper’s Subaru WRX STi, some dude stopped us and started asking Reaper various questions about the vehicle. After a few standard questions about horsepower and gas [...]

I keep meaning to post something more substantial, but have been too busy working till bedtime every day this week…and what with having been insane enough to work two additional hours last night between 1 and 3 a.m., all I’ve really got the strength for at the moment is this. Enjoy some random silliness.

Data [...]

I was in my basement earlier — playing games on my Win98 box and listening to the radio. The station I was tuned to was a local college station that sometimes plays Puffy on the air (side note: if you think you’d be a horrible radio DJ, don’t worry — you’ll probably be no worse [...]

I just got back from my second day of Daily Bike Rides for Health™. The weather is great today. It’s a little humid, but not too hot — and the clouds kept it cool. Enough of this, and I might actually develop a tan (while I was up north, my friends joked [...]

Greetings, and welcome back to Oddball Update. Not that you went anywhere; after all, it was I who vacated the premises for two weeks, but now I have returned. Apple and I went on a bit of a vacation to Michigan, where most of my family and friends live. It was a [...]

According to the local paper, today was the first day of school in south Lee county. Umm, I may be a little late to the party here, but…IT’S AUGUST 8TH FOR GOD’S SAKE! I suppose the public schools think that they can magically eliminate the problems caused by delinquent kids, criminally negligent parents [...]

CustomPC reports today that not only is the AMD purchase of ATi “a takeover rather than a merger,” they are dropping the ATi brand name altogether. It seems that eventually you’ll be seeing AMD Radeons on store shelves. How weird will that be? (Oh well, I still won’t be buying any more [...]

I thought I had finally found Florida’s own Red Holman Pontiac. That is, a Pontiac dealer that I could actually trust not to screw me when I needed a new car. That dealer was McNamara Pontiac in Orlando. Unfortunately, I learned today that the 60-year-old, family-owned McNamara dealership just sold out to [...]

As I mentioned the other day, I gave blood at the Red Cross for the first time a couple of days ago. While I was there — as a sort of reward for giving blood — each donor filled out an envelope to get a free ticket to some event. There were several events listed [...]

As if all the recent zaniness surrounding Hassel the Hoff wasn’t already enough, last night’s episode of “America’s Got Talent” featured a young woman doing a striptease to the Knight Rider theme, complete with a KITT replica onstage. (Of course, this was done to appeal to one of the judges, who is none other [...]
