Never buy a laptop from a hardware store.
Well, wasn’t last night’s post just full of cheerfulness? Must have had a bad case of the uglies going on to come up with something like that.
It’s a better day today though. I get to beat on someone else’s laptop. I always enjoy doing this especially when I get blanket permission from the victim owner [...]

The Geek Wins in the End
It happened again
It happened just like it always happens and I’ve finally had to admit defeat. I’ve finally come to the conclusion that resistance is indeed futile and there’s no sense any longer in fighting it. I’m simply at that point in life where battling my own nature is a useless endeavor. I mean hell…I’m [...]
New Things
There a various times in a person’s life when things happen. Not just the everyday things but things outside what one might consider the normal state of events. These things can be bad, good or just out of the ordinary which are neither bad nor good. And no matter how we may view these things, [...]
Saved by a Puppy
Due to a fat finger in my part while doing the usual PC house cleaning the other day that I’ve been doing for more years than I can possibly remember…
…I busted my Windows–but good!
Figures.
As of this moment I’m typing up this post with built-in the WordPress editor via Firefox 3.0.7 running in the latest version [...]
