  • The Mail is Yours, But the Package Isn’t

    I just got a package that was shipped using Priority Mail from the USPS. On the side of the box, it says, “This packaging is the property of the U.S. Postal Service and is provided solely for use in sending Priority Mail. Misuse may be a violation of federal law. Federal law, huh? That got…

  • North Korean Missile Crisis

    Is that an appropriate title? I suppose it depends on your point of view as to whether or not North Korea should be allowed to test their missiles. Many countries around the world say no; our own president calls the missile tests a “problem.” Yet Kim Jong Il claims that he should be allowed to…

  • The Perfect Storm

    Last night we went downtown to see Spokane’s fireworks show. Overall, it was pretty good. It lasted forever, though. It was easily fifteen minutes long (perhaps longer). In my opinion, fireworks shows shouldn’t be longer than about ten minutes, unless they’re really well choreographed. It’s just hard to keep the audience’s attention when you keep…

  • New Digs

    Check out my new cube! Yes, it’s very similar to my old cube, but this one is much better for a number of reasons. My favourite thing about the new cube is that, since I’m in the back corner of the room, I won’t have people walking behind me all the time.

  • Breaking Things Up A bit

    I don’t like having back-to-back Friday Funday posts, but it seems like something that happens all too often these days. In order to prevent having three Friday Funday posts with nothing in between them, I’m writing this post about… Well, it’s about nothing, really. So, how’s it going? This hideous beast is parked outside. I…

  • Engaged Encounter

    While I’m sure that most readers of this blog are aware that I am getting married in October, many may be surprised to learn that we (that is, my fiancée and I) will be having a Catholic ceremony. As such, there are a number of hoops that the church forces you to jump through before…

  • Movie Questions

    1) What film made you angry, either while watching it or in thinking about it afterward? The Matrix 2. At first, I only kind of disliked it, but then we started talking about it and I ended up hating it so much, that I never bothered to see the third. Which is really a shame,…

  • Happy Towel Day!

    Today is Towel Day! I have my towel with me, do you? I also edited a Wikipedia entry for the first time today. I corrected a spelling error. Hooray for me. -)

  • Time For A Change

    It’s that time again. Time for me to switch domain hosts and servers. I have initiated a domain transfer so that I can (finally) be 100% hosted by GoDaddy. In the next couple of weeks, I will be switching from my current server to a new one. This all means that my site will probably…

  • The Surreal Life

    I woke up at about three o’clock this morning because I had to go to the bathroom. When I got out of bed, I noticed a flashing light coming from outside. At first I thought it was lightning, but the flashing was too consistent. I parted the blinds and peeked out. One of those “Wide…
