The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, on Comedy Central, is one of the funniest shows on TV today. It is a sharp, biting satire of mainstream media (MSM) and modern day American politics. I can only imagine what it’s like if you’re not current on world events and you watch only this show instead of [...]

Had another great roleplaying/gaming weekend down in Austin with Naji & Marcia, Jon, and Vic. As always I had a blast. We continued in Naji’s GURPS 4E campaign, and managed to get a few games in of Formula De, Carcassone, Bang! and Survive.
The game designer in me loves Carcassone. Incredibly simplistic mechanics (you lay a [...]

Good lord. One stupid e-mail can cause a world of pain. The e-mail I sent yesterday to our product leads and my fellow tech leads about the web mail being shut down caused a ruckus. If I’d just waited 10 more minutes I would have seen that it was to protect us from the virus [...]

We’ve had an internet filter at work for a long time. It blocks questionable content, and monitors where and how much you go. Go to anything inappropriate that’s not blocked and you get warned. Similarly, spend all day hitting hundreds of web sites and don’t get your work done, get warned.

It’s a shame this hadn’t been a great four or five year run sci-fi series, THEN a movie. I’ve watched [...]

Well, Brian said he saw a blog entry coming, so I feel obligated.
My whole point of this overly long post is we had a pep rally at work today for “Wright is right”. I went, but didn’t wear my sticker, didn’t chant or cheer. I hate being told what to think. I respect [...]

Yeah!!! Connecticut civil unions began over the weekend. I realize I’ve been very negative on fundamentalist activity here for a while and I need to try to be positive once in a while. Life isn’t all doom and gloom. So I’m glad to report the GLBT community is making some progress. Photo courtesy [...]

Well, this weekend started with a Texans United/No Nonsense in November house party at Chris & James house to listen to the conference call with Glen Maxey, head of NNIN as well as to raise funds and talk about the amendment (oh, and have a good time in general!). While Glen certainly isn’t the world’s [...]
