This may be rather meta, but this is the end of the National Blog Posting Month.  The goal was to post each day for the month of November, and with this post I have done so!  Woo, consistency! I wish this post came with some deep insight or interesting fact, but unfortunately I had a […]

It seems that the government has ordered 2,200 Playstation 3’s to build a giant supercomputer.  It seems that Sony’s individual sale of two 3.2 Ghz Cell processors can wrack up a price tag of about $8,000 while two PS3’s with equivalent processors costs about $600.  I like this for many reasons: the government is being […]

After spending the morning (and most of the afternoon) sleeping in, it was time for D&D yet again.  It was a good session tonight, with equal parts roleplaying and combat.  It was punctuated by a Taco Bell run, which was the first time in awhile that I’ve had Mexican. The weekend is wearing on quite […]

Today was a juxtaposition of our normal routine, I got to sleep in while Tasha had to go to work.  Being the dutiful husband that I am, I got up and gave the dog a bath, cleaned both bathrooms, took out the soda cans, and entered in three months of grocery receipts into our tracking […]

It’s strange how trends are cyclical.  After having my laptop for so long, I never thought that I’d find myself at Best Buy shopping for a 5-port wired Ethernet switch. As I’ve investigated my Windows 7 Media Center installation further, I have received advice from far and wide that a wired network is the way […]

Today was a very long day at the office.  Most of my coworkers are on vacation for the holiday, so the rest of us are left to work on fun and interesting tasks.  Paul and I were debugging a particularly thorny issue today, thankfully we got the lion’s share of it taken care of today […]

After a very lazy Sunday morning, I headed to the gym with Paul for a casual karate workout.  We did some stretching, basics, the combination of the month from the Arvada dojo, and then some kata.  I took him through Heian Shodan and Heian Nidan a few times so he could continue learning them, then […]

Tonight I have a house full of people for D&D!  Sorry for the lame one-liner post, but I’ve gotta get to the adventure!
