I have my car out for the summer and it has a new battery, so it starts which is always a plus, since push starting a 5 liter engine is a bitch and a half (see previous entry for elaboration on this). I also have my pistol back, which makes… Continue reading
I think I just got about as close as physically possible to lightning. Of course I was indoors and it was outside, but never mind that. I’m just sitting here minding my own business grading UBT’s and there is this marvelous flash and crack – not the normal delayed crack,… Continue reading
Grading UBT’s is such a long boring process. The more interesting they are the more time I waste just reading them, and the less interesting they are well… then they’re just boring. Its a nice little catch 22. Damn all the CSE students getting 4.0’s, why can’t a 3.0 just… Continue reading

I recognize that the iPod was more or less the original HDD MP3 and other music player, and I realize that it’s design is wonderfully compact. Given this, I still don’t really like it. Why… 1. I don’t find that ‘wheel’ comfortable to use, and I like some sort of… Continue reading
1. Stupid people – and by this, I do not mean people who aren’t as knowledgeable in a specific field as me, I mean people who just don’t get it and probably never will. 2. SUV’s driven by people who never intend to go off road, haul or tow anything…. Continue reading
