Sarah Palin - Sweet Jesus! (cougar!)

Friday, August 29th, 2008

So… John McCain announced his vice presidential pick today. Sarah Palin. Good GOD! She’s a cougar, confirm/deny?
I’ve decided to get stickers printed up that say ‘McCain/Cougar 08′
Whether you’re a liberal or a conservative, you’ll enjoy that. You read it here first, so if you see them floating around somewhere else, they stole my idea!
Yeah… so […]

C’mon Charter, you’re killing me!

Sunday, June 15th, 2008

So, I’m attempting to actually get caught up on some work today, after literally sleeping all day yesterday (see a few paragraphs down) and I’m noticing that my internet is just insanely slow. Laggy. Slow. Choppy. Stunted. Intermittent. All of the above. So, here’s what I see after doing some tests:
C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools>tracert 64.192.86.1
Tracing […]

I hate [insert 2~5 letter IT/networking/development acronym here]

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

I.T. - we’re overpaid and underused… that is until something breaks. Truly, we are ghosts… no one knows what we do… until the Internet stops working.
I don’t miss spending nights on the office floor waiting for mail recovery, database recovery, etc…
It’s nice to have a stable system that fails-over…
That is, until I inadvertently break it […]

Powers not expressly given to the Congress by the Constitution, are inherently denied to the Congress.

Friday, May 9th, 2008

Know what’s disgusting? People who are still under the assumption that the 9/11 attacks were somehow linked to Saddam Hussein and the war in Iraq (if you really want to call it a “war”). The current administration has admitted dozens of times that it was misinformed (or gave misinformation) and that a direct link was […]

Nostalgia…

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

Good review over at God Hates Reno of a new book: Historic Photos of Reno. Check it out. Makes me wish I were 100 years old. Speaking of 100 years old… shouldn’t we be seeing a 7.0 earthquake sometime soon? I felt a small quick one tonight. I’m guessing it was in the mid […]

IRS, more like IRSuck

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

IRSuck holds two meanings in this case:
1)I Are Suck because I didn’t pay my quarterly taxes, so I got an $84 fee added to my taxes.
2)The IRS sucks. I just wrote my check for $3063 to the glorious, and, in my opinion, unconstitutional Internal Revenue Service.
Good luck guys! Don’t spend it all in one place… […]

Sovereign stillness whispers trust in me

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

Dave & Sherissa are getting married soon.
Haley & Chris are getting married + having a baby soon.
Shelly has had two kiddos, and is essentially married.
Lindsay McCabe has a kiddo and is married (confirm/deny?).
Ben & Justyne are essentially married.
Mike & Victoria are essentially married.
They all seem fairly happy, at least content. You’re all lame! I say […]

Outsourcing to India is destroying our economy…

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

I got a cold-call a little while ago on the business number from an Indian man named “Rick Anderson” trying to sell me his outsourcing services for web development, SEO, and such… I could tell he was Indian
1) by the thick accent, and lack of proper pronunciation of common English words,
2) by the ‘Unknown” number […]

Dang

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

Wow… sometimes I just get really bummed out. Right now is one of those moments. I bet you can’t guess why?
In other news I’m pushing Ireland back… way back… like June or July. Justin is coming back April 25th, and unfortunately I don’t think I have the two weeks to take off prior to that […]

Some honest truth about my industry…

Monday, March 31st, 2008

I don’t remember where I read this… but it was some point in the last 10 days. Someone stated something along these lines:
“Crappy web developers will send you a template Word document, asking for basic information about your site. Quality developers will ask to set up a meeting in order to sit down and discuss […]
