Howard Stern back on in Pittsburgh
Just got done listening to the press conference, but the upshot is that Howard is back on after getting yanked a few months back. He ranted about the FCC and bush, and talked about the 5 markets he’s back on in, as well as 4 new ones. Most all of them are in [...]

You know what sucks?
Hopping in the shower and realizing that sometime overnight your water heater decided to stop working.
Update: I have a new water heater, so all is well.

Ok, seriously…
There should be a fucking competency exam for the self-checkout line at the grocery store.

The red badge of geekiness
Thanks to David, I now have a GMail account! Now I can stop making random posts to our defunct climbing co-op page in the hopes that being a more active Blogger user would get me an invite. So far it seems pretty cool. I like the way that email threads are shown [...]
