Here I Go Again

Here I go again. I used to be a Republican. I used to listen to Rush Limbaugh. I read his first two books. I thought Bill Clinton was a bad dude (and I still he is in some ways). This was all in high school and for a couple years afterwards, maybe until 1995 or […]

Nucular Strategery

“There’s an old saying in Tennessee – I know it’s in Texas – probably in Tennessee – that says, fool me once, shame on – shame on you. Fool me – you can’t get fooled again.” Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2002 Wow. How did this guy get elected? Every day I watch a news conference […]

Get Used To It

301.0 – Yup, that’s a pound and a half yesterday. At this rate, I’ll be at 299 tomorrow or Saturday!!! And, in case you’re already tired of this weight loss saga, get used to it. You’re gonna hear about it pretty much every day until I’m down to 220 (gunning for 200, but 220 would […]

My 7.5 Days Of Music…

They threw in stuff I’ve never heard before and then proceeded to beat me silly with it. Great downtempo chillout coding music for the musically adventurous. And yes, […]

No More Whining

I’m feeling better today. No more whining today. I’m playing with using Tcl around Movable Type and it’s a lot of fun.

Craptastic

Craptastic says it all. Never take hypertension medicine without eating. Never take a diuretic without eating. I felt like crap all day: swimmy head, jitters, stomach ache; and I just kept going. I got things done and didn’t bitch about it. I even went bowling. I bowled like crap, but I bowled. My head still […]

Schillinger Goes to Maggiano’s

If you’re thinking about going to Maggiano’s, don’t, unless you like being crammed into a postage stamp-sized table two feet away from people crammed around other postage stamp-sized tables. You’re more likely to hear the four tables around you than the person sitting right next to you. The food was good, but the service was […]

The Switch Is On

Grandma and Linux

An Interview With a Grandmother is an interesting look at Linux for the Home User. I don’t see it as a win for Linux, per se, because HomeBase is such a specialized product that wouldn’t work for us geeks anymore than Solaris would work for my grandmother. I think it’s more a rousing recommendation of […]
