Kevin Gilbert

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

A fabulous musician whose life was too short.  A good friend of mine introduced me to his music back in Kevin’s “Toy Matinee” days. 
People tell me he sounds a lot like Steely Dan.  I never liked Steely Dan.

It does amaze me though how long dead musicians can still release albums.  I’m kind of [...]

Goodbye InterGraph

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

This evening marked the last hours for my trusty 21" CRT InterGraph monitor.  The picture finally went out on this 75 lb beast of a monitor.  It’s only… um… 15 years old?  Now I’m stuck with this crappy 22" LCD monitor.  UGH!  How do people deal with these things.  What will I do with all [...]

Towel Day (May 25th)

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitch hiker can have. Partly it has great practical value - you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, [...]

Walking a fish

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

Have you ever walked an overexcited Beagle? Try it sometime. It’s very similar to fishing only you don’t have to wait around for the fish to bite. You don’t need a pole or bait. You don’t have to clean any fish. And, it feels just like you always have a [...]

Jamaica…

Monday, May 19th, 2008

My significant other and I just got back from a week long vacation in Jamaica.  What a hoot.  If you’ve never been, GO!  I’d never been before and I’d never been to an “all inclusive” resort before either.  This trip was a first for both and it was a wonderful experience.
After many days and nights [...]

Rednecks Gone Wild

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

At some point, friends of mine decided to see what propane, oxygen and a short fuse would do if all combined in exactly the right proportions inside a clothes dryer.  Kind of a science experiment of sorts.

If you listen closely, you can almost hear someone say… “Hey Bubba [...]

Chocolate

Monday, March 26th, 2007

I’ve decided that chocolate is by far one of the most personally fascinating foods I’ve encountered.  The weight of this statement should not be underestimated.  I tend to enjoy a large number of foods as often as possible.  I actually had a job once where long after my interest in the job had waned I found comfort [...]

So far… So good… Hooray for WordPress

Thursday, March 1st, 2007

Well, it’s 90% of the way there. So far I really like this WordPress software. The technical documents are light at best with no real index of functions so if you like it out of the box, then Great! Otherwise be prepared to spend an hour or two looking for some obscure reference either on-line [...]
