100% AI-free half-assed writing hand crafted by Kevin Lawver about programming, life, cooking and random nonsense.
I’m thinking of changing the name of my site from the current: “Lawver.net: Spacemen Fighting With Pointed Sticks”, which I think is still funny, to “Lawver.net: So Ten Minutes Ago”. I spend so much time at work and with family that I’m about ten minutes behind the rest of the world when it comes to writing about the news, sports, etc on this site. I think it fits…
Maybe I’ll redesign around that. It will be hard to part with my spaceman, but I think I’ll manage.
I’ve never been, but even all the way back in 1993, I wanted to. I’ve never been quite unbusy or crazy enough to make it, but you can see why I’d want to go. Doesn’t Burning Man look like fun?
Senor Brown has gone design happy. I think this is the what, fourth new design since Saturday? I know the feeling. I’m starting to feel the urge to rebuild this site, and see what I can do keeping the same HTML and just changing the Style Sheet.
My jaw really hurts. I got through some Lo Mein and egg drop soup, but since I didn’t eat for almost 12 hours in the middle of the day, I’m still hungry (ok, also the fact that I’m almost ALWAYS hungry).
I should go to bed, but I’m waiting (in vain) for the Motrin to kick in. While waiting, I’ll let y’all in on what I hinted at over the weekend. They finally announced it to the work world, so I’ll announce it here: I got a big promotion last week. The best part is that I didn’t see it coming. I am now a senior software engineer. How crazy is that?
The feeling is coming back now (lo, four hours after being numbed) and it hurts. If I didn’t have a meeting in an hour, I would so be home whining to Max and Jen now.
This weekend, I cleaved a corner off one of my molars. Thankfully, it didn’t hurt much, and I didn’t even notice it had happened until I noticed a really sharp edge on the tooth with my tongue. I spent all weekend trying to avoid the sharp tooth and rubbing my tongue raw in my sleep.
I called the dentist this morning and thanks to a cancellation, got in this morning. After X-Rays and probing, I now have to have a root canal. Today, he took the nerves out, and gave me a temporary filling. He numbed me extremely well. I can’t feel the left side of my face from chin to sideburns, half my tongue, or anything on the left side of my mouth. It was great while I was in the chair. I didn’t feel a thing.
Next week: a root canal. I can’t wait.
Big stuff is happening at work, but I can’t say anything until it’s announced in the morning. Needless to say, I’m excited. So excited, in fact, that I may have to go buy myself a present. Like that reconditioned Visor I was looking at or a PS2. It’s THAT exciting. I’ll tell more tomorrow after the word gets out at work.
How cute is this? The Dooce gets hitched… great pictures.
I don’t know what whoever sent this is smoking, but I’m sure it’s not good for their long-term mental health:
Hello,
If you are a Time Traveler from Dimension D1263GT10, year 2008 or Dimension D2044GT5, year 2432 and or in possession of the Dimensional Warp Generator wrist watch, the Carbon Copy Replica model #524350 series or similar technology I need your help! My entire life and health has been messed with by evil beings! I simply need the safest method of transferring my consciousness or returning to my younger self with my current mind/memory. I need an advanced time traveler to work with who can help me, I’d would prefer someone with access to teleportation as well as a variety different types of time travel. I will also need temporal displacement. This is not a joke! I am serious! Please send a separate email to me at: Robbyyy1@aol.com if you can help! Thanks

I know I said I would never edit myself, but this is really an addendum, and I’m not changing the content of the post. I’ve been getting a lot of traffic from search engines for search terms related to this piece of spam, which I’ve now gotten about a million times. It’s spam!!! If you don’t get that, you should time-travel back to school and actually study this time. It’s amusing yes, but it’s still spam which costs people money to transport and store.

According to Google, I am the two most relevant results for “perfect guacamole recipe”. Who knew? I hope whoever searched for it thinks so too.
Again, this is really late, but if you haven’t figured it out yet, The Mirror Project‘s most recent page is a great way to find new bloggy reading material. Yes, I know you all already know this, but I’m slow and take a while to catch on the what’s new and hip.
