All of the evils that plague humanity? Or ferrets? The two may not be as far apart as you think.
Thursday: We loaded up the car with lunch and a very large turkey breast, then drove several hours to get to Sandy’s house. It was a long way to go, but we sort [...]

Thanksgiving started very early on Tuesday with going through some unexpected construction at Sky Harbor. At least I got a parking spot close to the bus stop. Then, when I was going through security, I must’ve done something to set off the TSA guy’s alarms, because he asked me to walk backwards, then [...]

Flying is such fun. I hope nothing like this happens when I get up way too early on Tuesday and get on a plane to Chicago.
I’ll be in Michigan for the next few days. Updates will probably not happen during that time as I’ll have less connectivity and will only have my laptop.

Sleeping while in a boring meeting is probably a great thing. However, if you’re going to try that, don’t try the haircut in this picture. It won’t work.
The weekend was really not all that interesting. Laundry, groceries, cleaning, blah blah. I’ve been playing through “Too Human” and am 80% of the [...]

Last week, we heard that there was no coffee on the 7th floor. That really annoyed everyone there, so we made a pot of coffee from our stash of coffee beans and distributed it. At least that didn’t happen this week. Garrett said, “I’m working from home today. My girlfriend’s truck [...]

Thursday at work involved a lot of being annoyed with the RPM build process. And very early Friday morning, I have to move a bunch of services from one machine to another.
Not much else to report, actually. Some ASU students seem to have grossly misunderstood the concept of the First Amendment, though.

Where this came from originally, I forget. But it makes me wonder why we haven’t seen more LOLcats in various mainstream media.
Wednesday had the usual Rock Band at Steve’s. We’re trying to get through a bunch of the challenges, though the “Infinite 80s Marathon (37 songs)” may not be doable. That’s just [...]

Guinea pigs can’t drive 55. So don’t harsh their mellow, brother.
Hm. Tuesday was relatively ordinary at work. I brought lunch, but some other people decided to go out to lunch. One guy’s moving, so he’ll spend Wednesday schlepping boxes into or out of a truck instead of being in the office.
Trivia: [...]

Monday wasn’t really all that exciting. Well, I started Glasshouse by Charles Stross, which has been interesting so far. Robin, the protagonist, is a 27th-century human who’s volunteered for an experiment where he has to live like a 20th-century human for 3 years. He’s not prepared for the rigors of 20th-century life, [...]

It’s been way too long since we’ve had a Fuzzball pic up here.
Sunday: Not much to say, really. The Cardinals attempted to lose and managed to win (yay!) but I only caught bits and pieces of the game. I wasn’t watching the game because they’ve recently updated FCE Ultra, and they managed [...]
