Heroes has fallen into a standard trap that has made many a sci-fi show [LNK: "jump the shark."] Time travel. Time travel ruins pretty much any show that tries to play with it (except [LNK: Doctor Who] , but he doesn't use...

I have replaced almost every fixture in the place (lights and some plumbing). Today's big adventures: Buy a dining room table, replace the ceiling fan in the kitchen, replace the hall hanging light, replace the switch in the closet, and frame and hang some photographs in the...

Some people measure years from January 1rst to January 1rst of the next year, but not me. My schedule of measuring a year is a little bit more juvenile. My measure of a year is still tied to a school year. My...

I have to say I am a little proud. Delaware doesn't always do a lot of stuff I really like. Wind power I can sortta get behind. [LNK: CNN Link] [LNK: Delaware Online] [LNK: Bluewater wind - the...

As people who know me know me already realize, before I "release" a photo for consumption it spends some time in Photoshop™. The odd thing is what people have been asked about. They do not comment that...

I have been slowly losing weight - but slow and steady is the way to win the race (for the limited set of really long races where speed doesn't matter). Like many aspects of life I have a set...

As all of the guides tell me not to talk too much about work on a blog I will not tell you which one - only it is a hip, cool, and new on the scene (relatively) one. What do I do? Well, using my programing and sysadmin acumen I aide...

A certain store at the mall had a sale on Sunday.

They did fix the problem. They do want me on a better server. I, however, just don't have the discretionary income to upgrade. It isn't the one time fees that will kill me - it is the monthly. I am not a hosting company and...

The hosting company really wants me on more modern hardware (which I have NO problem with) but they want me to pay a lot more to get it (which I do have a problem with). I am renting the hardware from them. Well, with... Mon, 15 Oct 2007 19:40:49 EST
