Wink wink, nudge nudge
Very classy, Mr. President. Don\’t forget to cover your stomach during the National Anthem. Or if you\’d prefer something more low-brow, you could try clicking here. Sorry for the short gambit; this is the best the day will allow.

All Growed Up
I feel as though I\’ve cut my last tie to immaturity. That\’s right, this week marks the close of another chapter of my life. I finally paid off the last of my student loans. Obviously, this is of overall benefit to me. It\’s quite a bit like getting a significant pay raise, for one, since…

Hurts So Good
I biked into work today. It kinda hurt. But in a good way. You heard me right. I bought a bike. Specifically, I bought this bike, with the idea that its primary use will be for me to ride it to work, whenever the weather and my overall fitness level allows for it. So far,…

Best Month Ever
(And we haven\’t even finished the month yet.) No, this is not a post about VH1. That\’s Wade\’s gig. Or perhaps wadE\’s. What I\’m talking about is the increased site traffic we\’ve seen here of late. I don\’t think I mentioned it, but in fact last month was the largest traffic month we\’ve ever had.…

Hinky
Two things. One serious; one not. First off, this article on how to best gauge what is, and what isn\’t, a security threat. I\’m pretty much in lockstep with what the author is saying here, but I think my own personal feelings are best summed up in the first comment. Second, I just had the…

Grab Bag
I\’ve decided it\’s a good day for a couple of old favorites, and a few new links, hence we\’ll call it a Grab Bag of stuff. For some reason I had this song in mind this morning. It\’s the soundbyte that destroyed a Presidential campaign, according to Mr. Lileks, and a longtime favorite around these…

The Shipping Diaries
Our hero, as part of his daily routine (see graph below), ships off a handful of computers per day. Typically, he has his own boxes, but on some days has to order new ones from the computer company\’s repair depot as part of the warranty claim. What he\’d really like to know is how, on…

Pictograph
…where X is my passion for, and overall motivation towards my job, and Y is the passing of time on any particular day. Such spike as exists corresponds with when I finish my coffee for the morning.

\”I think it was Osama Bin Laden\’s [idea].\”
Karl Rove\’s quote there, folks. The war in Iraq was Bin Laden\’s idea. Seriously. How does he think he can get away with saying this? He also said he wished the war never existed, despite mounds of evidence to the contrary. Apparently the administration policy is to lie whenever it\’s convenient, and when presented with…

Three Games?
The Minnesota Wild will take the ice tonight down three games to one in their NHL playoffs series with the Anaheim Ducks. They will do so without their leading ice-time defenseman, Kim Johnsson, who was sucker-punched at the end of Tuesday\’s victory by noted bounty hunter Brad May. Click here for a picture of the…
