Rants and musings, without care for substance.

Over the weekend I was described as “a binge drinking, promiscuous enabler.” Even there were no ugly people present, it reminded me of the t-shirt design to the right. The comment was made in good fun and I’m still chuckling about it a few days later. Does that mean that I enable promiscuity? Or are [...]
I made Hawaiian Chili today in the crock pot yesterday. Very very tasty. It was composed of ground pork, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, tomato juice, crushed pineapple, green bell peppers, onion, chili powder, parsley, sugar, and black pepper. The only downside is that my crock pot is a tad small; there was some overflow [...]
In the course of dealing with computers for more than a decade, I’ve seen just about everything. Most of these experiences have been with Windows users. I’ve removed viruses from people’s PCs and recovered their files. I’ve cleaned up systems that were so overridden with spyware to the point they were unusable. As part of [...]

It irritates me that I don’t have Veteran’s Day off. Technically it was yesterday, but it is being observed by the federal government today. In my mind today is a day to honor and respect those soldiers who have gone before us. Considering that my company provides solutions and support to a great number of [...]

Sometimes your body knows what you need better than you do. If you’re sleep deprived, you’ll fall asleep in the strangest of places despite all physical (standing up) or aural surroundings (during a rock concert).
After only getting a handful of hours sleep early Sunday morning, I crashed pretty hard late Sunday afternoon after picking up [...]
I was hungry this morning. Having cooked some spaghetti pies up the other night, I wasn’t feeling horribly creative this morning. I threw some leftover salsa/tomato-mix from California Tortilla into a batch of scrambled eggs. I thought the fresh mix of tomato and onion worked pretty well, compared to some processed salsa that I’ve used [...]

It’s been over ten years since I first heard Third Eye Blind on the side stage of HFStival 1997. Yesterday I had the opportunity to do so again at UMD College Park’s Ritchie Coliseum, this time while working on the show providing support to the Technical Director. As usual, I got a kick out of [...]

I was reading Maxim and saw that you can buy an Airbus that seats 900+ passengers for the low hundreds of millions of dollars. Talking to a buddy in the production services industry (read: a company that provides big ass speakers for concerts, among other things), we thought it would be cool to have a [...]

Spent the better part of last night at Holy Frijoles up in Hampden at the Octovember Baltimore Blogger Happy Hour. It was nice to meet people whom I’ve been reading for over a year. There were a few people that I didn’t get a chance to introduce myself to. That’s my only regret, which isn’t [...]

Every once in a while I’ll stumble upon something that I want to know more about. It could be the most remote thing that has absolutely nothing to do with what I’m doing or what I’m usually interested in. Then I have to stop what I’m doing and figure it out. It is akin to [...]
