So, you can’t see it, but I moved this site to a whole different web provider. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVED my old server company. They were UBER friendly to not-geeks like me. I’m keeping a different website over there because they’re awesome. They made it really easy to learn and do everything that [...]

Thanksgiving was pretty wonderful, thanks! How was yours? Roomie made his traditional and yummy green bean/potato/bacon goodness in a pot. I made the turkey breast, stuffing (eh, too mushy), baked sweet potatoes, pecan pie, cheesecake, and opened the can of cranberry stuff. That’s it. I set the table with the good china and silverware, we [...]

OK, here goes me being brave. Not many people get to see my photography. I took the larger version of this pic a couple of weeks ago from my cube at work. My office is 20 miles west of Chicago, 120 feet up in a high rise. Recently my view changed from industrial (on the other side of [...]

It was another rough week at work, even though I only worked three days. Sometimes taking time off isn’t worth the stress when you go back and have to catch up. I needed a good weekend, and I got one. Friday we had a very quick employee sale at work and I got a brand [...]

I discovered these guys through my newest musical crush Jonathan Coulton (that second link is where he serenades my current author crush Wil Wheaton who’s books are excellent but his annuated audiobooks are AWESOME). This was posted on their website this morning. Happy Monday

I spent the majority of my Christmas cash on the way home today. I LOVE spending other people’s money . I’m fortunate to be in a job where I help a lot of people and around the holidays, they occasionally reward me. This year I got 3 different gift cards that I could use at [...]

It’s been a really long week. I’m off the sleeping drug that was causing the depression, but the result of that is about 3 -4 hours of sleep a night. I was going to try and stick it out and let my body adjust for longer, but being this exhausted is affecting every aspect of [...]

The project at work is mostly done. I spent the last 7 days straight manipulating an enormous amount of data and got through it, so far, with only 2 small, fixable, mostly harmless mistakes. Literally, there were 350,000 cells on each of multiple worksheets, and in the end, I only screwed up 2 things. That [...]
