I finally broke down and went to see a doctor. She thinks I have a giardia infestation and prescribed a few days of nitazoxanide pills. Awesome to think I have those little suckers leeching off my intestinal tract; I’m my own petri dish. Nitazoxanide is supposed to be effective at killing them, but there’s a […]

I’ve come to the conclusion I picked up some bacterial hitchhikers from Seattle. Maybe some cryptosporidium. Don’t eat the snow! I don’t know this for certain, but it’s put me out of commission today. I had to leave work early Friday because my stomach was churning and Thursday night I didn’t get much sleep because […]

Oh dear god almighty on a stick the first night of Krav Maga kicked my ass! I was dizzy and lightheaded after 30 minutes of warmup and pad work, had to sit out. “Coach, my partner is dead,” was the exact phrase my interium partner used — who I might add is under driving age […]

I don’t know what to think about Dean Karnazes latest thing, Endurance 50 — 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days. I know he’s ran 350 miles straight, but wow, he’s getting a bit more intense here. The man positively eats and shits nails.

The rest of the time in Seattle was awesome. Friday we headed down toward Aberdeen and hit the beach. On the way back we went through Bremerton and rode the ferry back to Seattle. I’ve never been on a ferry; come to think of it I haven’t ever been on anything larger than a bass […]

I reinstalled OS X today using the “Archive and Install” method. It basically moved my existing /Applications, /Developer, /Library, /system, /private directories to another place, installed a fresh copy of the OS, then restored my apps and accounts. Several things were broken afterwards like codecs, printer drivers, VPN, and some Adobe CS2 files. I was […]

Another stupid email from my apartment management, this time connecting freedoms of the United States to their services. Really, somebody is trying too hard to be clever. Hi Bryan, Let FREEDOM RING!!! Today we are celebrating our independence. We are grateful for the freedom we all experience as Americans. As a resident of our community […]

Last night I left my Oakley sunglasses on the bumper of my truck while I was working, then went out for dinner. Whoops. This morning I found them a few hundred feet away, they had been ran over by a car. Interestingly, the frames were scratched to hell but were intact. The lense and nosepiece […]

I don’t know what to do with myself knowing I’ve got a week off of work. I stupidly set to painting the vise mount before using it, which means I had to wait for it to dry. I picked up some pipe fittings and threaded rod today which I’m going to attempt to use for […]

I made the journey up to Killeen and went to several Army surplus stores. Most of them had a bigger selection of stuff than I remember in stores I had visited before. Lots and lots of new/used clothes too. Army combat uniform (ACUs), battle dress uniform (BDUs), chemical suits, parkas, winter jackets, synthetic underwear, wool […]
