  • Have a Seat! - March 30th, 2008
  • UPDATE 4/24/08: I’ve uploaded a new picture that may be more representative of the actual appearance of the sofa on most monitors.
     
    We ordered a new sofa today, and in 4-6 weeks, we’ll be sittin’ pretty on a new living room sofa that looks vaguely like the picture above (the colors aren’t quite right, but that’s [...]

  • A Week Early! - March 28th, 2008
  • For those interested, the new PC arrived yesterday — a week earlier than expected, and a day prior to Dell’s estimated shipping date. I’ll have to admit that was fairly impressive. Last night, we went out and picked up a couple of external 500GB drives.
    So far, the machine itself ain’t too shabby, either. I’ve managed [...]

  • Well, Lookie There! - March 25th, 2008
  • Seems I’ve made the front page of the Baltimore Examiner web site today with this article. If you’re looking at the print edition, it’s on page 5. Isn’t that special?

  • The Geren In The Dell? - March 20th, 2008
  • Hi, Ho! the derry-o, Geren bought a Dell?
    Last night (or was it early this morning), I ordered a new Dell Inspiron desktop computer. Yes, I really wanted an iMac. Yes, I said I’d never buy anything else from Dell. But, the reality is that I just can’t afford the Apple at this point (can’t truly [...]

  • Well, It Is St. Patrick’s Day … - March 17th, 2008
  • Two men were sitting next to each other at a bar.
    After a while, one guy looks at the other and says, ‘I can’t help but think, from listening to you, that you’re from Ireland ‘
    The other guy responds proudly, ‘Yes, that I am’
    The first guy says, ‘So am I. And where about from Ireland might [...]

  • Welcome To Corner Gas Online - March 5th, 2008
  • I regularly complain about the crap that US television networks throw at us, and that Americans accept as good television.
    Meanwhile CTV (those folks up north) turn out programming that is, well, not crap.
    Fortunately, if you have cable, you can probably get WGN out of Chicago. WGN carries a CTV show called Corner Gas. Check it [...]

  • Ludicrous - March 4th, 2008
  • Maryland is considering a law that would make it illegal to send text messages while driving. Is it me, or is it ludicrous that it isn’t already against the law?
    Frankly, just outlawing text messaging doesn’t go far enough. Every day, I see people reading books, using laptops — even eating bowls of cereal — all [...]
