2008: Year End Review

The year is coming to an end, and friends and family keep sending me letters saying what’s been up with them this year.  Just tonight I received an email from a friend and they said they had opted to go electronic this year for their letter.  That sounded like a pretty good idea.  I’ve never [...]

Picture of the Day

Well, I didn’t get to go out very much today, so I decided to bring a picture from the past up for your amusement.  This picture was taken by a former roommate of mine, Brandon.  I was around 19 at the time.  I can’t really remember why, but around that time in my life, it [...]

Backup Strategy

Over the past weeks/months I’ve become more interested in making sure my systems are properly backed up.  Recently I mentioned I wanted to detail my setup in a post.  It’s been awhile since I’ve suffered a significant hardware failure (knock on wood) so part of me thinks I’m “due” for one.  Here is my basic [...]

Jeremy asks: If you were asked to launch a major political movement, what would the platform look like? As I said to Jeremy in an IM after reading his comment, “good grief Jeremy.”   I’ll make an attempt at tackling the question though. I think the 10th amendment to the U.S. Constitution needs to be read [...]

Various updates to About [...]
