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.

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

I’m sitting here at the Mac. I would be at the PC right now but a hacked version of a ‘certain software’ installed on my PC allows my significant other to print out professional looking documents for less than the $2000 price tag of a full version.
It’s kind of lame really. She prints 5 times [...]

LaCie Ethernet Disk and Firefly Media Server

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I purchased a LaCie Ethernet Disk Mini Drive.  In short it’s a 500GB Gigabit Ethernet NAS device with a built in media server.  It uses Linux as its internal OS and Firefly Media Server to share media files. (music files show up in iTunes under shared libraries and [...]

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.
