I returned from Virginia yesterday and am almost over my cold. Descending in the plane wasn’t painful, but my head felt like it had a lot of pressure built up on it. I went through almost an entire roll of toilet paper to blow my nose. It and my lips were so chapped it was […]

I had an incredibly horrible Nyquil trip last night. It was so weird I don’t know if I can describe it. Pretty much every 15 minutes I woke up having to blow my nose. I didn’t really sleep, every time I’d close my eyes I’d have all these recursive visuals of boxes and bars. I […]

Google Maps apparently just got updated with new satellite imagery. There’s now higher resolution of Europe, I can now find our colocation facility in Amsterdam. My old apartment complex in Tulsa is now there, no longer a clump of trees. Looking at that picture now brings back all sorts of memories living there. The whacky […]

Speaking of MySpace being profitable, here’s an article talking about it turning into a profit center. Of particular interest to me is this line, “After the Internet bubble burst, he even built a site that let people download computer cursors in the form of waving flags; the trick was that they also downloaded software that […]

Odd, I think this was the first time I ever googled for “binary fury”. Apparently it’s the name of some industrial group, complete with binaryfury.com and a myspace site. I thought I was being quick and clever when I came up with the name long ago. I forget the original reasoning or thought process behind […]

Digg. I’ve been reading Digg for a couple of weeks now and the new-ness has started to wear off. It has a decent amount of links to interesting things that I wouldn’t otherwise see on my daily Fark visits. I avoid sites like Slashdot because of the inane chatter there, but I’ve come to realize […]

If you own or will soon own a MacBook Pro, stay far, far away from Corsair ValueSelct RAM. Every day or so my MBP will spontaneously reboot. It doesn’t seem to be related to heat or load, I’ve had it reboot on me while it’s sitting on my lap generating a nice 122 degrees F, […]

I’m getting really annoyed by the fact that I haven’t done anything remotely interesting lately. My routine is well, very routine and it feels like the weekends are just waiting for the weekdays to arrive again. I need to start planning my Burning Man and Rainier trips. I haven’t put much thought yet into how […]

I rented “The Aristocrats” today and watched it. That is the raunchiest material I’ve heard in a while, I loved it. My jaw is still sore from laughing so hard all afternoon. By far my favorites were Bob Saget and Billy The Mime. Most of the others seemed like they were just arbitrarily throwing together […]

The bike shop had a sale today and I couldn’t resist buying a set of Look Keo Sprint pedals at a deep discount. I was using Shimano SPD pedals on my road bike, and they were frustrating if not dangerous things. 3/4s of the time when I tried to step into them in a hurry, […]
