My Life has Disappeared

I love letting other people see what tracks I listen to and I love being able to find artists similar to what's on my playlist, that is why I love last.fm. Even though I don't use my MacBook for liste...
You're Tearing Us Apart
Hillary really is losing it. By it I mean her mind, the small amount of respect many people have left for her, the country, her future in politics, etc. Obama won North Carolina last night by a wide m...
I might be moving this weekend
Dmondark in #habari did me a huge favor and ported the wordpress audio player plugin. That was essentially my last major hurdle I had to overcome in order to switch to Habari. I already have an instal...
The Bucks Stop Here
All throughout the Mid-West the words baseball and Buck are synonymous. For almost 50 years Jack Buck broadcasted for the St. Louis Cardinals. He was a class act and could be heard, on a clear night,...
Santos and Obama
I've been noticing a lot of similarities between Congressman Matt Santos from TV's The West Wing and Senator Barack Obama and have been wanting to write about it. The similarities between the two cand...
Common Sense, Where Art Thou?
At what point in your life do you develop common sense because it sure isn't in middle school. Three things happened today, each with a different kid, that made me come to this conclusion and oddly en...
A Depressing Season
I have a feeling this is going to be a disappointing season for the St. Louis Cardinals. The new General Manager did very little, and I mean very little to strengthen the team for next season. In fact...
The DMV
Yes, it's time for a rant about the Department of Motor Vehicles and how inefficient the process of getting new plates for a car is. Come with me on a journey to the bureaucratic maze that is the DMV...
XM Radio
I have to say one of my favorite features of my new car is XM satellite radio. I always wondered who would pay for radio. The quality is not that great, it's radio so you hear the same stuff over and...
Ideology and Interests
I was watching an old George Carlin comedy special on HBO Comedy tonight and I began thinking about someone I used to work with when I worked at Domino's in high school and college. I worked with this...
Trivia Night
Last night I participated in a Trivia Night that a family friend was promoting. The cause was for cancer research. Amanda spends countless hours each year raising money for research and last night was...
Going on a Safari
More and more I find myself browsing the net using Safari. I used to loathe Safari, and on Windows I still do, but it's starting to grow on me a bit on the MacBook. On several Windows systems I found...

Do You Have the Time?
After being watch-less for about a year I finally decided to get the battery replaced on my watch. I didn't want to make the trip to the mall. I detest that place. It's full of annoying cell-phone peo...

Happy New Year!
Just wanted to wish everyone a happy new year. May 2008 be a great year for everyone. I've not made any resolutions this year, yet. We'll see. New Years Eve was fun. My old college roommate Charlie wa...
Gifts Galore
Well, Christmas has come and gone. It was a good one. I was given seasons 4-7 of The West Wing. I love this show so much. It's such a smart, funny, well-acted show. I also got a bunch of Best Buy gift...
Traffic Spike
These past few days I've had a huge influx of traffic. The reason behind it is someone stumbled upon an article I posted back in 2005 and liked it and thus it was shared with thousands upon thousands...
