    A(n in)significant lull

    Published July 25th, 2008

    July around here has been pretty quiet. Damn quiet. I don’t have much to write about of late. Still single with not much going on in that front - though not for lack of trying. Still doing the same old stuff at work. About the only interesting thing is trying to learn CakePHP. MySQL has […]

    On Concentration

    Published July 17th, 2008

    So the British Open - excuse me, The Open Championship - is happening right now. It’s Tiger-free, which I’m sure most players are glad for. However, it may not have mattered, the weather conditions are positively brutal. Royal Birkdale - the course - isn’t considered a difficult one (compared to some on the British Open […]

    32 Sci-Fi Novels I Should Read

    Published July 2nd, 2008

    At least, according to a list I came across today. It’s not the worst list in the world - but of course I do have a couple complaints.
    1) Foundation (Foundation Novels) - Isaac Asimov
    Haven’t read it. Heard of it of course. Is on my “read before I die” list. That’s a long list - way […]

    All Black Politicians are the Same

    Published June 25th, 2008

    At least, according to Ralph Nader. Why people have ever listened to this guy, I have no freaking clue. They should stop encouraging him. Why anyone would vote for him is beyond me. Nader said:
    “I haven’t heard him have a strong crackdown on economic exploitation in the ghettos. Payday loans, predatory lending, asbestos, lead. What’s […]

    Well There’s a Can of Worms

    Published June 24th, 2008

    Everyone’s favorite religious wacko, James Dobson, has pretty much invalidated many of his own moral arguments. And it seems he’s too short-sighted to even realize it.
    It seems that Mr. Dobson has taken umbrage with some comments made in a speech by Barack Obama. He went on his radio show and did his best to tear […]

    Yeah, I Blew It

    Published June 16th, 2008

    So yeah, true to form and what should have been totally obvious to me from the start - I should not have scheduled the MySQL Developer I exam for Friday the goddamn thirteenth. The first omen was when they called me earlier in the week to tell me that my testing center no longer existed, […]

    Let the Veepstakes Begin!

    Published June 4th, 2008

    Why have I not posted much on politics of late? Because it’s been excruciatingly boring. McCain is busy being old and not running against anyone. Obama has been busy marking time until Hillary finally gives up. And Hillary has been somehow, for some reason, trying to convince anyone she hasn’t been out of the race […]

    Friday Flagellation

    Published May 30th, 2008

    *sigh*
    Yeah. I’m back in the doldrums again. I mean that very specifically - I am in a stagnant pool in my life. Again.
    First let’s roll back to my last “real” post about the haunting in San Francisco. On a random whim, and after much debate, I said “screw it” and called Kyra, fully expecting her […]

    City of Lost Souls

    Published May 12th, 2008

    San Francisco has become a haunted cityfor me. I think I’ve been scarred forever by it. Not really the city’s fault though.
    No matter how many times I come here, no matter how much time passes - there’s simply too much that reminds me of Kyra. And something deep inside me screams in anguish that whenever […]

    Shhh - Don’t Tell Anyone You’re Biased…

    Published May 9th, 2008

    Our media is tainted. Really - and we don’t even know it. Well, maybe we do, but the media sources will never admit it. They’ll even go so far as to fire someone for expressing support for a candidate. But it doesn’t make sense - the media is made up of people, like you and […]
