Ricky Gervais

Posted: January 27, 2011 in Short

How does Ricky Gervais continue to acting and comedy gigs? Does anyone think that he’s actually funny?

8 hour sleep

Posted: June 30, 2009 in Baby, Short

I know it’s not going to be the norm, but Zachary slept 8 1/4 hours straight last night (2 hours more than he’s ever slept before). It would be nice if he does this more often!

10% my ass…

Posted: May 26, 2009 in Movies/TV/Music, Short

I’ve rated 1346 movies on Netflix… you know how many suggestions they have for me? None… not a single one. I’m not really complaining about it… just just a little strange is all.

Note to self: Remove wedding band before welding, otherwise you may end up with slag bits welded to your ring.

Media Whore

Posted: January 27, 2009 in Computing, General, Movies/TV/Music, Short

I’m such a media whore: 17,464 tracks, 105GB, 50.6 days worth of music in my iTunes library (and I probably have another handful of CDs that I never ripped up in the attic). 5.6 days worth of TV shows (90GB) too.

Investing in our past

Posted: January 24, 2009 in Computing, Short

I suddenly had the urge to own an SE/30 and began perusing eBay (there are quite a few working vintage Macs available there). Luckily I decided this wasn’t a good idea. It would just end up in a box next to my Atari 2600.

Creating a large sparse image

Posted: December 19, 2008 in Computing, Short

It takes about 116 hours to create a 150GB encrypted sparse disk image over the network. I don’t recommend attempting it.

10 years later

Posted: December 14, 2008 in General, Short

Today I left feedback for my camera auction (loving that Finepix F30), and out of curiosity I wanted to see my first piece of feedback. I had to go back more than 10 years to find it. Aug 29, 1998, a month before eBay went public.

Comcast

Comcast’s cable internet sucks balls… very slowly and unreliably.
