My Mac
After looking at Leopard, watching the videos, looking at the features, and taking a trip to the Apple Store for some hands-on experience, I bought a MacBook. I really enjoyed playing around at the Ap...
The Love of a Three-Day Weekend
This weekend I have a three-day weekend. Is there no better feeling than knowing you have an extra day in your weekend? I think not. (ok, well, maybe a few things). I have Friday off this week and am...
Gmail and IMAP
Ever since I got my first Gmail account a couple years ago, I wished it had IMAP support. As many probably know, Gmail has recently enabled IMAP on accounts. My account still doesn't have it enabled,...

I Need a New Host
For reasons I won't discuss here I am searching for a new host. I don't need crazy amount of space and/or bandwidth that many budget hosts oversell. I would like around 10gb space and 25-50 gb of band...
A Lifetime Goal
There are several things I would like to accomplish before I die. This post isn't about those. This is about a goal I wish to accomplish before someone else dies. I have a huge sense of St. Louis prid...

Long Day
This is going to be a really long day, I can tell. It's not because I have a lot of students, because I only have four. It's because I'm tired, which I wasn't until I got into the classroom. Why am I...
Whatever Happened to Discipline?
I am really beginning to wonder what happened to discipline. Every day I deal with kids who don't care. That's not unusual. Kids don't want to work, they want to play. I was like that too, but I alway...
Homecoming
This past Saturday I went to Homecoming at my old high school, Fort Zumwalt South. It was a great game. The Bulldogs have a great team this year and have improved their record to 6-0. They played Fran...
The Rat Pack in St. Louis
I know this is odd for someone my age, but I am a huge fan of The Rat Pack, especially Frank Sinatra. Sadly, they did their stage show before my time and I've only seen it in a DVD I have (where they...
Ann Coulter Still Won't Shut Up
Ann Coulter is still flapping her big mouth. Like I said before, she needs to shut the hell up. She's not attacking Edwards or 9/11 widows this time, instead she's saying that all women should lose th...
My Masters Degree
I don't plan on starting any time soon. I won't start until I can afford to start, which means once I get a full-time teaching position with a school. I've been thinking of what I want to get my degre...

Breaking News! Leave My Show Alone
I really hate how whenever they need to interrupt programming for a news break or weather warning they always wait until the commercials are over. God forbid they lose out on their advertising revenue...
Welcome Back
I knew I couldn’t stay away for long. It was only a matter of time before I came back to you. What am I talking about? Ubuntu on my laptop. After spending a couple weeks back on WIndows XP on my lapto...
The Office
The Office had its season premiere last night. At the end of last season we see Jim ask out Pam. The moment everyone who watches has been waiting for. The beginning of this season we see that they are...
The New TV Season
The new TV season has begun. There aren't many new shows I'm looking forward to, but there are many returning favorites. How I Met Your Mother is a really good show. I really enjoyed last season and a...
WordPress 2.3 is a Joke
Well, let me rephrase. Tagging in WP 2.3 is a joke. Tagging was pulled out of 2.2 because it wasn't ready for prime time. Well, after using 2.3 release candidate, it still is far from prime time. In f...
