An Unexpected Wii

07May07

I’ve been interested in owning a Nintendo Wii for quite awhile, especially now that we have one at work and I get a chance every so often to play it. Since the weather was crappy this weekend, about the only thing Lindsey and I did on Saturday was do a little shopping, grabbed some […]

Congrats To SpaceX!

20Mar07

SpaceX launched their second rocket today and made it to space! A lot of us around the office were watching yesterday but the launch was canceled, and I simply forgot to look again this afternoon as I was busy at work. We have a vested interest as SpaceX’s founder is the brother […]

Interwebs Upgraded! I’m Finally All Web 2.AJAX

23Dec06

It was time to start separating my “professional” content from the personal stuff and give me a better place for /etc, so here’s the new blog. It’s got all of the buzzwords too, like flickr, AJAX, and even del.icio.us. I doubt I’ll get around to designing my own theme or […]

Snacks On A Plane?!!?

11Aug06

After many obsessive discussions with my co-workers earlier this year about Snakes On A Plane, I decided to purchase the snacksonaplane.net domain in April. Recent events finally gave me a good reason to use it to create a Snacks On A Plane?!!? poster. Note: the f-bomb is used.

Snakes On A Plane

28Jul06

A couple of days ago, I realized that I’ll be putting Snakes On A Plane on tomorrow– I’m flying on Friday to Seattle to spend about a week there for some exploring and relaxation in the Pacific Northwest. Of course my laptop is going with me, which has Python installed,. I’ll be taking […]

16Jul06

I’ve been making minor changes here and there to this site lately, and in general trying to figure-out where all of my visitors come from (about 1,600 unique visitors per day). During the process I’ve noticed my entries which are the most organically popular happen to be my reviews and experiences with various products.
I […]

Geektastic TV: The Research Channel

09May06

While I do not posess a lot of the dead giveaway traits of a typical geek (I’m not into fantasy stuff like Lord of The Rings at all, have never played DnD, I can talk to the opposite sex without staring at my feet, etc), there are certainly some traits I do have. I […]

How To Get Free Weekend T-Mobile Wi-Fi Access

03Apr06

I took the new laptop to Starbucks this weekend to do a bit of homework, and much to my surprise I was able to get on the intaratron for free as I’m an existing T-Mobile customer. Apparently they have a limited time offer for existing T-Mobile customers to get free Wi-Fi at any T-Mobile […]

New Laptop Ordered

12Mar06

I’ve been rolling the decision over in my head about a new laptop for quite awhile. Originally I really wanted to wait awhile longer and move to a MacBook Pro once it had a revision or two under it’s belt as I’d /really/ love to have a Unix powered workstation, but after researching and […]

MIT Hacks: Super Mario Brothers

17Dec05

Ahh, how I wish I were geeky/elite enough for MIT sometimes– I love reading/seeing all of the pranks that happen there. The latest one turned a hall into a level of Super Mario Brothers.
