Been awhile since we’ve talked, huh? Yeah, I’m still alive. Things are going okay. I’ve had a bit of a span of self-realization lately. I won’t call it a “come to Jesus” as I’m still devoutly uninterested in religion. But yeah, other things have been murdering my focus on the blog, so I haven’t been [...]
All in all, I’d call it a pretty successful last 96 hours or so. I’ll rewind to Wednesday at the office, which was pretty quiet. I got a lot of stuff done, and occasionally looked out the windows at the blowing shitstorm that MN threw at us. Thursday was a busy one. Kate and I [...]
Today is the last day of the 30 Days of Glorious… Well, Something…, that I started back in October. Eventually, I’ll go back and do the fancy-schmancy cross-linking of the list to the entries. Today, however, is not that day. So what do I aspire to? First and foremost, I aspire to be a great [...]

I’ve wanted to buy him one, but have been waylaid by practicalities. Well, no more. Today is his [...]
Last night was a busy night on the wedding prep front. My first stop was mom’s place where I picked up a whole slew of childhood pics of me. Second stop was at my dad and stepmom’s place, for the same reason. I got a pretty solid stack of photos, and tonight I’ll have to [...]
Due to some weird clusterfuck at my hosting company, about half of my hosted websites went down sometime this weekend and didn’t come back until last night, about 18 hours after I raised alarm bells via the tech support form. I’m not back to 100% yet, but things are progressing nicely. So that’s good. So [...]
So I’m in a bit of a weird place surrounding the sentimentality of a bike. This summer, I acquired my father’s old 70′s era Peugeot. It’s been a bit bastardized with Shimano Exage derailleurs, and its years of garage life are showing where there’s spots of rust on the stem and top tube. Given the [...]
