What a busy weekend! Morah and I had originally planned to head up to Sandpoint, but by Friday, it was clear that the weather was going to be pretty drab all weekend long. We didn’t want to be stuck indoors all day, so we decided to just stay around Spokane. On Saturday, we met up…

On October fourteenth, Morah and I will be celebrating our first year of marriage by spending the weekend in Portland. Our plan is to arrive Friday afternoon and leave Tuesday morning, which gives us roughly three and a half days to check out the city. There are a few places that we’ll definitely be visiting,…

I know I said I wasn’t going to post today, but I can’t pass this one up. I was going through my site statistics this morning and found some really bizarre searches that led people to my site. Many of them are variations on “a life less ordinary”, but some of them left me scratching…

They said that ISPs should be able to charge higher fees for certain internet traffic. Worst of all, their press release dresses it up as though they’ve made some sort of wonderful suggestion. To…

I’ve used PCs for so long that I can’t remember the first time. My dad had an IBM PC XT, and I can remember playing games from Big Blue Disk. I remember watching him use XTreeGold (how many of my readers remember XTree?). I remember DOS commands, which are still useful, and even fun (mostly…
