My phone supports Google Latitude, so those of my friends who might enjoy more efficiency in stalking me are welcome to send me an email and I’ll hook them up.
If you’re just a stranger who wants to be creepily interested in my whereabouts, well, I’m flattered, _but_…
I got out to see Avatar last night (in 3D). All I have to say is “whoa”.
The storyline is pretty much “The Matrix meets FernGulley”, but oh, my sweet merciful muffin tins were the visual effects unbelievably good! Years ago I saw “Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within” – the first “ultra-realistic” CGI film and remembered [...]
A whole bunch of assorted things:
The last of the super-busy holiday weekends is behind me. Lia and I went to her office Christmas party on Friday where I was grilled mercilessly by her coworkers (Lia works in an office with 30+ women and 5- men, so a new relationship is a big deal). After that [...]
Ah, the holidays are the best time to have an office job. Everybody’s got candy, cookies, cheeseballs, popcorn and whatever that they’re trying to unload. It’s a scavenger’s paradise.
One of my coworkers makes his own spicy cheeseballs out of peppers that he grows and dries from his garden every year. Om nom nom!
In broken-Phil news, [...]
My unhappy Achilles heel is making me miserable. I am completely not having any fun limping around for the last week.
I won an external hard drive in my office’s holiday party raffle on Friday – a little 250GB WD jobbie. It’s not the massive 2TB RAID device I’m asking Santa for, but hey – backup media is backup media and it’s certainly quiet and unobtrusive enough next to the Mac.
Corporate had “comments” on my last expense report and sent me an email about it.
I took this badly and sent back a strongly-worded response to the effect of:
If you’re going to nasty-gram me because I don’t have the right mileage reimbursement rate, then I’m sorry, but you’re going to need to post the correct [...]
I did the official weighing of the beards this morning. I was competitive, coming in on a 3-way tie for 4th place among 30 men at a weight of 2.2g.
The winner and Supreme Bearding Champion came in at an impressive 2.8g – nearly 25% heavier.
I’ll have to step that up for next year. [...]
Having flowers delivered to your woman’s workplace is an excellent source of brownie points. She gets pretty flowers, she gets attention from all the other women in the office, she gets a reminder you’re thinking about her.
Flowers work, men. Flowers especially work if you manage to luck into sending a bouquet of her [...]
The CSU Board of Governors has voted to ban concealed weapons from campus. Whatever their reasoning (the article cites both general gun-naughtiness and the possibility of “accidental discharge” as motivating factors), I think this is a bad and/or silly move. I don’t intend to have a discussion on gun politics here, I just feel like [...]
