South of the Border

Seriously. Look at this place.

You can’t drive south on 95 and not stop here. It’s the stupidist, most unimaginably cheesiest tourist trap in existence. It’s been over 20 years since I’ve been here, and my memories of it have all but faded. I remember it as being like maybe one or [...]

Florida, Day 1

We began our trip to Florida saturday morning. We decided to take 4 days for the trip, first stopping off to visit Anne and Jim in Maryland. I’m glad we did. Call it a combination of a slight cold and maybe a little car sickness: Evangeline opened up and doused me with [...]

Mastering the Delicate Art of Eating

We started Evangeline on solids at about 5 months, and it took about 3 weeks for her to really understand what was going on.

Now that she’s got the hang of it, feedin’ time is about the best time of the day.

Ok, um, that’s not food..

Christmas Tree 2007 Get!

This year we took a trip to a local Christmas tree farm and cut our own tree. This is a new tradition for us, and one that I really like doing. Any activity that involves me walking around with a saw and cutting stuff down, and not going to jail, is a good [...]

iTunes in windows breaks, and I like it!

I think Foppy [...]

43 Presidents, 10 Minutes

Remember 50 States, 10 minutes?
Now try all the presidents in 10 minutes.
I got 30 out of 43. Notable presidents I missed were Madison, Monroe, Wilson and McKinley. Who the f*ck is Millard Fillmore?
Also, stupid Google ads at the bottom of the page gave me Warren Harding, so technically my score should be 29.

Why the U.S Patent system sucks

Someone patented “breakpoints”. (patent: 20030208745).  That’s about the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard.  It’s almost as stupid as the linked list patent.  How can they let someone patent this stuff?  It’s like patenting pants.  Please tell me that someone hasn’t patented pants yet.
Actually, lately I’ve had this really good idea for a patent.  [...]

Boom!

This weekend Mark took me trap shooting. Trap shooting is the one with shotguns and moving clay targets where you say “Pull” a lot.

(I’m dead center, left)
Before I continue, I should point out that I’m not a “gun person”. In general, guns make me nervous, and people that own guns make me even [...]

50 states, 10 minutes

Alright this one totally killed me. Once you click this link, you have 10 minutes to list all 50 states (don’t cheat, really try it). I was able to get 47 in like 4 minutes, and then for 5 minutes I just sat there and panicked. At 1 minute left, karen gave [...]
