Tonight I decided to install our 6″ rainfall showerhead that I got on sale from Overstock.com. It came with a neck fitting that would make the showerhead actually go over my head, which is something that the previous showerhead could not claim. I removed the old showerhead, and was tightening the neck fitting on with […]

I went to Mapleton tonight because Sensei Quinn was going to be there. I got there early, so I decided to start doing a few Sochin. Sensei Quinn showed up, and proceeded to ask me about my kata goals because someone must’ve said something. So he asked if I wanted to work on Scohin for […]

I first came across this album as part of my ill-fated membership in the BMG Music Club when I was 16. I selected it because it contained the hit of the moment “One Headlight”, however it quickly grew to a place of honor in my CD collection. I listened to it all the way through […]

The story begins at work today… one of my former (and now current again) coworkers came by. Her husband is getting relocated to China and they’re moving, so they’re having a moving sale. She was letting everything go cheaply. So now I’m the proud owner of a used pool table and accessories. Tomorrow I begin […]

I hear that tonight I missed the coming of Sensei Quinn. He only comes around every several years because he is stationed (and trains) in Japan and I hate to miss any time training with him. I hear he really ran everyone through their paces… even claims to have been wiped out by the workout, […]

I finally made it around to printing my first photos on my HP PSC 1510. I’ve always roundly dismissed the “photo printer” capabilities of modern desktop printers. I assumed they would be inferior. I was very impressed by what my little printer from Ben’s Bargains and my wooted premium paper can do! This is very […]

Tasha and I have made it back safely from Chicago. We stayed in a Courtyard Mariott while we were up there, they had a impossibly friendly staff there. You don’t see that very much any more, and I thought it was very nice. My buddy Wilson and I got to bowl while the women went […]

I’ve read several articles on BoingBoing about this Mosquito soundwave thing that kids are using to perplex adults. Apparently, it is audible to youth (less than 25) and not really audible to those older than that. I had yet to find an article with a link to the actual sound to try it until tongiht. […]
