I came up with a great line in a meeting the other day. We were talking about bad news, of which I had dispensed a large amount that day. I decided then and there that I’m going to buy a box of Depends adult diapers and start bringing them to all my meetings. For severe […]

Boy do I want this shirt, and this one, and this one.
For the geeky Mac folks
For the geeky Mac folks out there, YellowDog Linux 2.2 is now available for download on their FTP site. Since I love this product, I would suggest you do what I do (because, of course, I know what’s best): Try it first, then buy it. They’re a great company to support, and everyone I’ve ever […]
Get In Line
I’m a nice guy. I really am. I like helping people. I like answering questions. But, I have my limits.

There are Microsoft Serfs, Linux Freaks, Anti-Microsoft Pirates, MacHeads, FreeSoftware Infidels, etc. They all have their misconceptions about their “enemies” and […]
Give it a break, already
I know I’ve been on a downer lately, so here’s something that, while not funny, is at least positive. How amazing is Mozilla? If you don’t know what it is, Mozilla is an open-source web browser that supports open web standards, runs well and has some very cool features that set it apart from the […]
Mike is my old boss.
Mike is my old boss. Mike climbs dangerous things and then shares his pictures with his sedentary friends. Go, Mike, go.
Do you read PhotoDude? He’s
Do you read PhotoDude? He’s a photographer down in Atlanta, and since September, has been writing what he calls his “War Blog”. I visited his site before September for his beautiful photography. Now the photos don’t get updated as often, but the opinions flow like water. His frequent collections of quotes are especially worth reading […]
