New tunes
New albums out recently from both Fatboy Slim (Palookaville) and The Chemical Brothers (Push the Button). Also out at the same time is a complete remix album of PTB called Flip the Switch. Out of the two, I like the Chemical Bros’ new offering a whole lot more. Huge beats, Q-Tip shows [...]

Nothing says romance…
...like taking your sweetie to see a GWAR show. It’s not 100% that we’ll be going tonight, but I can’t think of anything more romantic than having us both doused with faux pigs blood by Sexecutioner.

Merger mania
Not really a new trend, but still one that I find disturbing. Hot on the heels of SBC’s merger with AT&T comes news today that Verizon is going to snap up MCI. They needed to do something to prove that they were a player, and although some people thought they might go after [...]

Hate hate hate
My general distaste for phone companies has been well-documented here, but now I have a new target for my ire…. Qwest!
The DSL connection at the house kinda stinks. On a good day, I can muster about 100Kb/s download speeds, which isn’t much better than the days of 56K modems. This lack o’ bandwidth [...]

Me = old
Today I turn 31. Hooray for me!
I had a good weekend, although I didn’t go to Heuco with the kids. The weather forecast looked a little crappy, and I had some stuff to do around here, including a little pre-birthday dinner with friends. Turns out it rained but was climbable both days, [...]

Misc bits
My sister (who came out to visit a week ago) has started to write up her trip report.

Part II
Hopefully in Part III she’ll talk about her totally hot kings full of aces that she crushed everyone with at the casino, as well as my Dropping The Hammer By Raising Pre-flop With 7-2 Offsuit (and [...]

Little Furry Things
Yesterday during lunch I ran to the pet store to get more food and litter for the cats. Right when I walked in there was a dispute going on up at the front counter. A young pimply guy was in an argument with the woman at the register. Apparently he wanted to [...]
