this is my 1st post from my new treo!

This kind of sucks in a way. If I ever were to get a story set in this world created, they’d call me a copycat! They even called it the exact same thing!
Here’s the deal: on my blog Creativity Palette, I dump my ideas for games, stories, whatever. One world idea I’ve built out, even […]

So I decided to copy Ian and get yet another new cell phone. Same model, but carriers in America lock down phones to be good for only one carrier. So stupid, but that’s a whole other post to go into sometime. So, I’m waiting for my Treo 700p from Sprint to arrive so I can […]

I love it. It would be hysterical if it weren’t so Orwellianly frightening. Bush now says the strategy has never been “stay the course”. Umm, it took me about five seconds to search Google News for “Bush stay the course” (I even changed the date range to be several days back before the articles about […]

I’ve had an MBNA credit card since college and been very happy with them. Years ago I had a Nations Bank bank account, until they were assimilated by the Bank of America collective and the service turned to shit (I was charged to use the teller more than once or twice a month). Well, BoA […]

I went to Half-Price Books yesterday. LOVE that store! B&N is nice of course, but you can’t beat picking up half a dozen big sci-fi paperbacks for twenty bucks. I’ve been needing some big, crunchy epic sci-fi stories full of robots, space ships, AIs, FTL travel, etc. I can sink my reading teeth into for […]

Good article on Wired about the supposed “New Atheists” including Richard Dawkins & Sam Harris, two published atheists who I respect (and need to read their works! One of Harris’ is on my ‘to read’ shelf.).
Their stance is that it is no longer acceptable for atheists and agnostics to sit by the side and say […]

Yesterday I ran in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. First of all, I want to say thank you to all my friends and family who sponsored me and donated to such a great cause.
It’s funny. I’ve always thought the charity run/walks were kind of silly. Why not just donate the money directly […]

Ian and I tried camping this weekend. No, not the “camping” like we do with our friends once a year (in a cabin…with A/C…and bathrooms…and a kitchen…) Camping…for REALS! We rented gear for a very reasonable price for the weekend including tent, sleeping bags and pads, and stove from REI. We stayed at Lake […]
