Connection Woes
Alex Trebek: The answer is: “Unknown Socket Error”
Sean Connery: You mother didn’t have any suck it errors, Trebek!
AT: That’s ”’Socket” error, not “Suck it”
SC: Aaah, you’re one of those nancy-pants network fairys, aren’t ya?!
AT: [sighs] Mr. Connery, if you don’t know the answer I’ll have to move on.
SC: Perhaps you should talk to [...]

The Matrix Reloaded
I went to the 10 p.m. showing of Reloaded last night. Here’s my observations from the night:
The movie started at 10, and when I called the theatre the day before, they told me that they would start letting people in the theatre at around 9:30. I figured getting there at 9:15 would suffice, [...]

Eeeew! (or, you know you’re getting old when…)
I thought I was pretty hip to the whole body modification scene. I have quite a few piercings myself, and the random tattoo or two, but then I saw this and was taken aback by it. Seems to take slicing/scarification and push it a step or two further.

Sebastian
Congratulations to Brian and Jen on their lovely new son, Sebastian!
He looks just like his dad, doesn’t he?
More pics here.

Holy Moley!
About two years ago I had gone in to have a mole removed off of the front of my right hip. There wasn’t anything in particular that was wrong with it that it needed to be removed, but it was rather large, and in a spot that was more likely to get irritated since [...]

Mother’s Day, indeed!
Looks like Jen will be a new mom herself very soon. Best of luck to her and Brian! I’m sure it’s gonna be an adorable little tyke, probably complete with sideburns.
Update
Sebastian (named after Sebastian Loeb, I’m sure) was born just a short while ago. 6lbs and some odd ozs. Congrats to [...]

Guerrilla Marketing
Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. I got my first BlogShares advertisement last night. Someone gifted me 5 shares of a worthless stock last night, and the accompanying email said “I like the way you do business. South Dakota thanks you.” Of course I had to go look and [...]

If I had a hammer…
I work in a small building that looks like a dentist’s office because, well, there’s at least two dentists’ offices in it, as well as the little software company that I’m now working for. Over the last 2 weeks or so, the roof has been in the process of being reshingled, which has been [...]

Ouch.
Three times now, I’ve bought something in BlogShares to the tune of a couple of thousand dollars, and then the next morning I see it’s worthless. Literally worthless. Sucks to have to continually make up that ground. I was up to about $130K yesterday, and now I’m back down to $80K or [...]

From the NYT: Hummer H2 owners complain about fuel efficiency. Um, duh??
