Happy Halloween!

Filed under: General — site admin @ 2:00 pm

A Happy Halloween to all! I plan to spend the evening at home passing out candy to kids, kickin’ it by the fireplace, maybe chillin’ with some Crown on the rocks, and watchin’ some movies. This is the first year my kid isn’t goin’ out to ToT, so it’s pretty weird. Gettin’ old sucks. :)

I’m pretty sure this guy didn’t wanna enter this particular wet t-shirt contest :)

Global Warming My Ass…

Filed under: General — site admin @ 12:44 am

What is the deal with Global Warming? People seem to think that there is something we can do about it. Ever think about how it may be simply the cycle of evolution? That GW isn’t necessarily something that the human race can control? Yeah, sure, cut the fluorocarbons, reduce smokestack emissions, etc, but it’s gonna happen regardless. Just like we had an ice age, surely we’ll have an upswing…seems we’ve been doing just that for a looong time.

Why does everything have to be a control factor, or a political statement? What the hell?

Open Source Kicks ASS!!

Filed under: Geek — site admin @ 12:37 am

Open source software just kicks ass. I am LOVIN’ WordPress, Apache, phpBB2, perl, php, etc, etc, etc…
It just doesn’t get any cooler. I paid for ApacheConf, but it’s well worth the $55! Great product for sure.

Been workin’ my ass off on this site too. I have a LOT to learn about blogging…feels like I’ve been livin’ in a cave…lots of new shit to figure out and learn on the fly, but I love a good challenge. I’ve spent quite a bit of time f’n around with different blogging software, and WordPress seems to be the best of all breeds, though being a geek REALLY helps with this stuff. Not quite as “simplified” as other blogging soft like bblog and serendipity. I liked the others too, but the support WordPress has received from the community, and the look/feel are just too cool. I love this shit!

The BEST Chili Ever…

Filed under: General — site admin @ 6:19 pm

Man, I make the best f’n chili on the planet. I entered it into a contest at work and took 3rd…THIRD for fux sake!! I lost to some shit that tasted like it came from Wendy’s. What the hell is wrong with people’s taste buds? That shit is GROSS!! My chili is thick, rich, dark, FULL of flavor and aroma, character…fuck, this sounds like an ad for coffee :) Anyhow, the winning chili was sweet, runny, and “eh” in flavor. The 2nd place chili was a vegan chili (HERESY!!), but it was spicy and full of flavor, had a very unique character.

Oh well, I won a $25 gift certificate to Borders Books & Music. Gotta love that!! Had to rant a bit.

Bicyclists in the rain…

Filed under: General — site admin @ 12:01 am

What the HELL is with bicyclists in Portland? I mean, I’m sure not ALL bicyclists are blithering idiots who are only concerned with the 6″ buffer of air around their wet bag of shit for a body, but some just don’t get it. I’m on the way home from work the other day, 5:45pm, raining like mad, and some fucking RETARD on a bike decides he/she is going to pedal and coast in the middle of 3 lanes of traffic…8 mph. EIGHT FUCKING MILES PER HOUR during rush hour, in the pouring rain. I’ve got news for you morons. The next time some asshole pulls that shit and doesn’t get the fuck off the road, someone’s gonna be a wet, red smear with shiny sparkly flecks of freshly crushed bicycle all through it.

Think about it, asshole. Is that shitty “I don’t give a fuck, I’m on a bike!” attitude going to get you far while in a fucking body cast? Not likely. Don’t be an idiot. You can’t break the fucking law (obstructing traffic) and not expect consequences. In your case, you’ll get a ticket while recovering for the next year in traction.

Asshole.

Fuck it’s late, it’s raining again, and my fucking grill isn’t covered. :) Son of a bitch…

Kerry better take this shit home…

Damnit, I’m so sick of the bullshit around our elections. Lawsuits after lawsuit. Now Rethuglicans are suing to give the absentee ballots an extra MONTH to trickle in!! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON??!?!?

Well, time to get started…

Filed under: General — site admin @ 7:43 pm

Another blog software to test. Yay. Trendy. Hopefully this is as cool as some of the others I’ve been trying. Serendipity is pretty cool, bBlog blows serious ass, and myBloggie seemed…eh…

Anyhow, this is WordPress, of course. Looks a bit more intense to do plugins, but holy shit there are a lot of templates and plugins. It looks really promising, so hopefully this will be the last blog software I try.
