http://alientrap.org/nexuiz/A while back the discussion came up about playing some FPS type games online from time to time. I had suggested Unreal Tournament (for various reasons), but started looking online for something free and good. I played quite a few of ’em until I finally settled on suggesting Nexuiz to everyone. Why a freebe FPS? …
So how do you keep track of the wines you sample? And see that list when you’re at the wine store (Ahem – Liquor store really)? Meredith and I were talking about not knowing for sure what wines we’ve had, so I started something new – after we’re done with the bottle, I snap a …
There’s a new full sized trailer for Speed Racer out. Still haven’t decided if I’m gonna see it in theaters or not, though I looks like part of the on screen action is gonna require illegal substances to fully appreciate! 🙂
http://www.apple.com/trailers/disney/walle/hd/Pixar posted a new trailer for Wall*E, which finally shows some of the meat in the movie. OH MY GOD. Opening day, I’ll be there 🙂

File That One Under “Done” Well, earlier today I thought I’d manage to post that I completed 4 of my “in house” projects. At the last minute, it didn’t happen release happened on two out of four sites. The other two had last minute failures (oddly enough, in exactly the same module. Bummer.) The first …
There’s been a ton of different takes on the Muppets Mahnamanah skit – this one is… different 🙂
Penny Arcade put up a quick tribute to Gygax – both funny and appropriate at the same time:
Oh holy hell. Fine, I give up – time for a new temporary obsession, script writing wise. That ending I wrote for another script that I mentioned before? I keep getting little snippets of how the rest of it would be laid out. In fact, so much over the last two days, it’s 75% written …

The Smoking Treatment Well, I did that whole stop smoking treatment thing. Damn that was kick ass. Three shots (one in the arm, one behind each ear. Ouch on the ears ones.) I gave up my Pepsi and my smokes. Talk about a walk in the park. It’s damned easy to quit. Of course, they …
I’m not a particularly large fan of Sarah Silverman. However, this particular bit damned near made me fall out of my chair laughing!
OK, so much for working on the script – instead, I spent a large portion of the day at the farm, helping move a bunch of my (ex) father in law’s stuff from when he shut down his dr’s office and move to working for someone else instead. I don’t know why I don’t spend …
http://www.gocomics.com/lio/Lio is an interesting comic that’s gaining larger distribution over the last year – I’ve been following it off and on. It’s fairly dark humor presented in a very interesting style – there’s no dialog, but the visuals always conveys the story well. And often damned funny – the one included here is a great …

Health Insurance I’ve struggled with qutting smoking. I’ve tried quitting I don’t know how many times, and it’s actually rather impotant to me. But I always fail. I’m really not good with failure. I tend to fail at failing with grace 😉 So, I’m breaking down and doing this the “Modern Medicine” way – you …
Big Dog Motorcycles So I get a call from my friend Brandon who’s stuck out on a jobsite without any help. He wanted to know if I’d snag him a couple of sandwiches from QT and bring ’em to him. He was busy busting up concrete to dig a 6 foot deep hole to fix …
Woohoo! Yep the new keyboard has arrived. Awsome. If you don’t think somethign as trivial as a keyboard is important, well… it is to me :-) The only think not “right” about it – the F and J keys have ridges on them, rather than the original Model M style of having a more deeply …
Ain’t got no regrets And I ain’t losin’ track Of which way I’m going Ain’t gonna double back — Lou Gramm, Midnight Blue Yep, as you might expect on New Years, this is a chronicle of the major events in my life from 2007. I’m not sure if I’ve ever had a year that was …

http://ctymid.myminicity.com/OK, just click on the damned thing already 😉 What it is… it’s a weird little city builder where you get more population everytime someone visits the link. You can visit once per day, and it adds more population each time, so um, yeah, visit it often 😉 You can also set up your own. …
The Date Well, never got back on here and wrote how my first date in ages went. Well, it went ok – had a nice lunch, chatted for quite a while, and generally just went ok. Haven’t heard from her since :-) Seriously! So I guess it didn’t got THAT good 😉 I’ve talked to …
Money Ok, the money situation is getting just plain rediculous. I talked to the customer in Kenosha today, and he doesn’t know why I haven’t been paid. I sold another website today, but it will be time before I get paid from that. Working off and on for Dad on some large projects, but, it …
It lives… I love it when one of my personal projects goes well :-) In this case, Heather’s 12″ powerbook had died a while after my 17″ powerbook had died. After much cursing, a little blood (which had to be cleaned off the logic board – blood is conductive even when dried due to the …
Griefing Wensday night I went over to Brandon’s house, and we set about screwing with low level WoW players on the Alliance side (I’m horde, obviously). We’re killing guards, and seeing if we can coax any players into going into PvP mode (since it’s a non-PvP server, you gotta get someone to try and go …
Another Month, Another Job Done Well, Kenosha was interesting as hell. Typically, I only work like 8 hours a day while I’m outta town. I spent years at Creek getting fucked on my out of town pay, working long hours and getting nothing for it. And so I take it somewhat easy out of town. …

I’m on my way home from Kenosha, wi. Too bad I’m at a complete stop about 120 miles from Kansas city. Everything is a sheet of ice, and someone had a pretty serious spill aparently – emergency crews are just now getting here – I’ve been setting here for about 30 minutes. Man its probably …
Tuesday, November 28, 2006 Welcome my friend, welcome to the blog (with apologies to Pink Floyd) Ah, welcome to my blog. Set down, relax a bit, have a cuppa tea or beverage of choice. Comfy? Good. Because I gotta warn ya’ – I talk a lot. I mean in copious volumes. This isn’t my first …
A Timebomb For Thanksgiving My work on Thanksgiving ended up a hell of a lot more interesting than I planned. I ended up working from 10 AM to 9 AM the next day, with a break for dinner. Ouch. Seems that the network had a bit of a timebomb waiting in it, and it picked …
Surprises… So I get in Kenosha a bit early, and got a couple of hours of sleep (I was too jazzed while I was driving to do my usual sleep at the rest stops type thing). Got to the plant, and we began discussing the scope of work. Um, hm. I may be here for …
Hitting the Road Drivin’, drivin’, drivin’, Got my troubles on hold Just drivin’ down that highway My fossil fuel’s good as gold I’m lookin for that long lost road No sign of man, no sign of life — Sammy Hagar, “Privacy” Ah, it’s that time already. I tend to look forward to hitting the road, …
Thanksgiving in Kenosha, WI It’s time to hit the road again, headed for Kenosha, WI. Yep, I’ll be working on Thanksgiving. Part of the project I have up there requires that I take parts of the plant offline for about an hour at a time. There’s 6 mill / plant sections, and each one needs …
