Theft.
I’ve been robbed. More or less literally, though it wasn’t in person or anything like that. It seems that a fraudulent charge has been made on the check-card on my personal checking account. Fortunately, this is a separate account from … Continue reading

This morning, as I was peacefully taking a shower, what should I hear but the whoopin’ and hollerin’ of my lovely wife as she discovered that the drains from our house to the city sewer system had plugged up. When … Continue reading

Father’s Day
This year Father’s Day coincided with my daughter’s birthday. Though there was a small amount of conflict of resources, it was a most successful day for the both of us. We were both pretty well spoiled (primarily through the selfless … Continue reading

Local wildlife.
In a relatively amusing turn of events, a black bear was spotted running around my office building’s parking lot at work. It ran back and forth across the street in front of our building (between us and the airport) a … Continue reading

Firefox 0.9 out.
I just upgraded to Firefox 0.9. It is an outstanding browser, that beats Internet Explorer in just about every single way. This latest release of Firefox is fast, small, and capable. They have streamlined a number of its features, and … Continue reading
