Got pulled over last night for speeding. Oops. Time to slow down for a little while. I can’t have multiple tickets building up and making my insurance soar. Eh, I don’t get to work that much faster driving 85mph vs 70-75mph anyway. I guess there’s that whole safety thing too… but I *really* like driving [...]

I stayed up way too late last night and today got off to a slower start than I had planned. I still managed to get out and get shopping done for my mom. I think she’ll be happy. While wandering around Quincy Market there was a very small petting zoo that was set up. Naturally, [...]

I haven’t posted any pictures in a little while, so here’s some. The first is from my ride home last night. While it’s not surprising that states in the US waste a lot of money on useless stuff, it appears that the state of Mass actually pays someone to tell people smack-you-in-the-face-it’s-so-crystal-fuckin’-clear obvious information. **PIX2** [...]

I’d rather complain about people instead. Rule #1 – if you’re in any way unable to clear the snow from the top of your car/SUV, then that vehicle is too large for you and you shouldn’t be allowed to drive it. It’s that simple. There’s no reason you should be allowed to drive around making [...]

I installed a 300Gig HD in my computer last night, replacing the 120G drive that was in there before it. I picked up two USB HD enclosures and put the 120G in one and replaced my former USB HD enclosure with one of the new ones (the fan had died a while ago and I [...]

I’m back from Kansas with not much to report. It was a good time and hopefully will be productive for work reasons. I ended up getting to bed late on Friday night (I didn’t get home until 12:30) and slept in on Saturday. I took it pretty easy on Saturday and head to Kevin’s party [...]

I’ve been in Kansas since Tuesday night. So far, Lawrence has been really nice. It’s very liberal and everyone’s been super nice here. When I finally arrived and got to the airport, I went to the car rental place and found out something that neither I nor the travel agent that booked the car was [...]

Tomorrow I fly out for Kansas. I land in Kansas City, pick up my rental car and then head south about an hour from the airport. I’ll be working from Wednesday morning until Friday afternoon, when I’ll drive back to the airport and drop off the car. Hopefully everything goes smoothly. I’m going to work [...]

Ok, it just feels like Monday because I had two days off and now I’m at work. I expect it to be rather slow, but you never know with these things. I’m hoping there’ll be quite a bit of nap time today. I brought some books and my mp3 player, which should keep me more [...]

So my brother got bailed out and he had a somewhat different story than what the police were saying. His account is that he was in an accident (a friend was driving and there was another person there) and once the state police showed up, they were giving them a hard time and while my [...]
