Favorite news headline for the week:
"Man slips while relieving himself, falls into river, dies"

There's really no need to read the story after a headline like that.

I imagine if the Hitchhiker's Guide has anything to say about rivers, it would be the following: Most rivers are tolerably friendly when you respect them, but they *really* hate being pissed in, and will frequently find...

OK, I'm a geek, and this post proves that definitively.

I have an extra 2.5" hard drive from when I upgraded my Powerbook. I bought a cheap ass case for it that, while functional, came with neither screws, nor screw holes that actually lined up. Basically, it was a cheap piece of crap. I do however have a Belkin USB HUB that's designed to sit...

I went to hopey's 666 party last night and got to meet some of the SG Seattle crew. Good people would be the short summary. samling has the list of partygoers that I won't bother to duplicate, along with a good summary of the first impression I make on most people.

Yeah, Folk Life rocks

I at least was able to communicate to a higher up that his understanding is nowhere near reality. He sat in the last half hour of that meeting with a look of shock on his face sitting limp in his chair.

OK, I'm annoyed to realize that photos I upload to SG are only viewable to SG members, not my non-member friends who read this blog, so I need to host my photos elsewhere

I'm slighly disgruntled.

I shaved off my goatee today. I think it's been a year since I last did that, but at the time, grew it back almost immediately. I think I'll stay clean shaven for a while this time.

Tomorrow, I'm planning to make the trek down to Mt Hood. I haven't ridden a snowboard now for at least two months, and the withdrawal symptoms have if...
