The Bachelor
If there is any amount of justice in this world, Moana will win the Bachelor. I have many reasons for thinking this way, and I’ll keep them between Eliza and I. But it appears that this season’s Bachelor is the most sincere bachelor yet, and seems to have the right motives and the proper strategy.

I think I may have just injured myself
The only details I will make public is that I think I ate way too many peanuts this weekend.

The misuse of buzz words
I just couldn’t take it anymore. The misuse of buzz words got to me, so I jotted down my thoughts.

Sometimes I forget about the couch
I have a laptop, and yet sometimes I find myself forgetting the fact that I can be on the couch. No idea why.

An extremely useful meme?
Imagine if someone created a meme that ended up having some type of value? Meaning that it would end up benefiting someone, rather than just being fun for its participants and readers. Imagine a meme where everyone kept adding $2 (or 5, or 10) to a paypal account and at the end we’d have a

A wordpress.com ultimatum
If I can’t edit my theme on WordPress.com before March 1st. I’m leaving WordPress.com. Oh, and if they charge only a few dollars to allow me to do that, I’d probably consider paying.

Steelers need one more
I was hoping that the Steelers would end up playing the Panthers in the Super Bowl, but they are going to be playing the Seahawks for all the marbles two Sundays from now. I think they have a very good chance (better than 50% which is obvious) to beat the Seahawks. Get ready to wave

Tagged
Mike Rundle, my favorite CSS-linguist, has tagged me. Therefore I shall oblige. Oh, and Steve Smith tagged me too. Four Jobs I’ve Had In My Life Dishwasher, Cook, Tech Support Specialist, Webmaster Four Movies I Can Watch Over & Over No particular order here: Jurassic Park, Star Wars, Sideways, Lord of the Rings Places I

Thank God it’s Friday! Eliza and I have planned to go shopping tonight, something we’ve not been able to do in a while. Personally, I’m looking very much forward to it. She loves me, really – she does.

Don’t make stupid bets
I love learning from other’s mistakes. Typically I watch poker, perhaps not only for the entertainment of it, but it helps me to gauge how the professionals determine pot odds and act on those numbers. More often than not, you’re playing the player and not the cards. However, there are times when people make stupid

Hyperspace membership has expired
I realize that the Star Wars universe will end up living on through television, rereleased special edition DVD sets, cartoons, and probably some things I haven’t even thought of yet. But really, is there any reason to keep my Star Wars Hyperspace account? I always enjoyed having my Hyperspace account because it gave behind-the-scenes access,

A concerted effort to get back outdoors
When I was younger, you’d never find me indoors. My parents were constantly yelling my name to come in and eat, many times I was well out of earshot. For most of my childhood, the rule was to be in by dark, or at least in the yard. I rarely followed that rule, which cost

Getting up early, or staying up late?
I love being up early. I find myself, even if I’ve gone to bed late the night before, getting up as early as my body will allow. Morning coffee while reading my dailies simply does not feel the same at noon as it does at 7:00am. However, I’m also inclined to stay up fairly late

Building the 9rules Network
I’ve been asked to write about my thinking and programming processes while building the 9rules Network. I’ve begun my journey towards that goal. Episode 1 is up for your reading enjoyment.

To .Mac or not to .Mac, that is the question
Recent announcements notwithstanding, has anyone used .Mac that could perhaps let me know if they feel the service is worth the yearly fee? Further, if you are married, do you have one for your Wife, or do you simply allocate some of the space available with your own account to your spouse? I’m debating a

Its Macworld time
For any Mac geek today is almost a holy day. Here’s to hoping a few of the rumors are true and a few others are false.

Where am I?
Taking days off being in a nearly pneumonia induced coma can make you wonder what year it is. Well, like Paul Newman, I’m back.

Sniffling gets old after like the third time
My head feels like its full of pudding. My ears are blocked. My lungs are full of some type of liquid. Each and every joint on my body aches. My throat feels like I gargled molten hot lava. My nose is cherry red. My eyes are watering. I do not feel good.

This Uncle loves video chat
The latest edition to our family, Jessica Corinne, lives about 1,200 miles from Eliza and I. This is a real bummer because we wish to see her as soon as possible. Well, thanks to modern technology, we were able to see Jessica just hours after being born. This way, we’ll be involved with her
