And the kid ain’t too shabby either :-) Unless it turns out to be one of those suddenly-it’s-70-degrees-on-Halloween sort of years, he’s gonna need some lil’ ninja shoes! ...
Not much funny about this one. Whitney’s fine, the baby’s fine, and the car (at first blush) looks repairable. Joey’s up with his dad in Louisville, so he’s good too. Whitney was pulling across North Broadway in front of our church, from the Buzz Cafe to the church, and ran the right front of the car into the left side of a northbound Lexus GX470 They bumped at about a 45 degree angle. ...

Fall is often the time I turn over a new leaf. Surmounting my annual September insanity, October and November are often times of rededication and renewal. Weird, I know, because for everything else in the Northern Hemisphere, these are times of dormancy and decay. So, yesterday, I did it again: For personal reasons, and after much consideration, I gave-up unbounded use of the internet at home. My wife is my accountability partner, guardian of the (changed) passwords to all accounts on our computer. It’s a pretty drastic step, but the last 10 years of so of my life have left me with little other choice. ...

This guy came and spoke at Georgetown College when I was taking religion classes there. Sad, sad story, if it’s true.

One of the key requirements is “not greedy of filthy lucre”. I understand the forgiveness angle, but certain actions should disqualify you for certain roles.

:-) Making things is fun. My father-in-law, Stu, is a former shop teacher. He likes making things, and probably likes teaching others how to make things even more. He’s made me a fabulous workbench, and decided it was high time I learned about power tools. Now, I’ve spent years watching Norm Abrams’s New Yankee Workhop, marveling at the things Norm can do with his keen eye, instincts, and…uh…$100k of power tools. ...
Cool - you should post a “measured drawring” :-) … Jeff Roberts - Oct 1, 2006 Cool - you should post a “measured drawring” :-) Makes me want to get out in the shop and make some sawdust!
Let’s see… word-processor: Check. spreadsheet: Check. Google’s edging closer to having an Online office suite Neat, go-anywhere technology.
Me: Man, I wish they’d create invisible fence for PEOPLE to keep them out of your dang yard! E: They have. Me: Really? E: It’s just so hard getting people to wear the collars!
I am so glad you didn’t say “office” instead of “y… Jeff Roberts - Oct 2, 2006 I am so glad you didn’t say “office” instead of “yard” :-)
Yep. It’s Columbus Day Celebrate the greatest conquest & associated genocide in recorded history? No thanks.

This was a waste of time: A premise that can’t sustain a feature-film, combined with Jim Carrey’s hammy performance had Whitney and I surfing the web during the DVD. Lone bright spot: David Duchovny is one VERY lucky man. Tea Leoni, as in “Spanglish,” was a lift to every scene she was in.
So I get an email from Wal-Mart with “This weeks deals” or whatever. Inside was a little pink doll. and I’m like, “AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! Maria would love that!” Yikes.
ugh. Whitney - Oct 3, 2006 ugh. This comment has been removed by a blog administrator. Nah, it’s a good thing. Much better than my neighbor who thinks his mission in life is to train his sons like attack dogs. “What are you cryin’ about? I don’t see no blood!” With a daughter there’s no constant fear that something you do might turn her into a sissy. So you can lavish all the love and affection on her you want and it’s OK. ...
Got to be really good friends with vimdiff today as I tried to kick-start the build for our “End of Lifed, never need anything else but a plugin” product. Yeah, well. We need it again, and she’s not so happy to build this time. We played with the build significantly for the last product, pseudo-integrating Ant, while leaving around lots of makefiles, an arcane language of rules, predicates and suffixes ...
