Its that time of the year again. Time for the annual Crowd Favorite trip to the ballpark. Tonight it was the Brewers that were in town to hand the Rockies a last minute loss. Boo! Oh well. I got free beer, pizza and hotdogs. As far as I’m concerned the game was great! Also managed [...]

To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering, one must not love; but then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer, to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love; to be happy then is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy; therefore [...]

Its kind of becoming a personal tradition to take a cappy iPhone panorama before the game whenever we get tickets to an Avalanche game. So, that said: Hopefully last night was a good sign of the season to come. A young and energetic team with a goalie that can stand his own. I don’t expect [...]

I like it. The wife likes it. The dogs LOVE it. So why don’t we do more of it? Hm. At least I get a good pic or two when we do go.

I’m sorry, this is pretty much a rant. To all the sites that think video tutorials are a good thing: please rethink this. When people need a tutorial they need something they can follow along with step by step. Often times I want to come back and just read one part of it again. Or, [...]

The wife and I decided that we should finally follow through on getting matching wedding rings since we finally found a designer that we both really like. The designer is John Hardy and the rings are fantastic. Its significantly larger and heavier than my old one, but with much much more character. Much better than [...]

After much futzing, fidgeting, and neglecting of other things I’ve finally got this site converted to WordPress. It was just a logical thing to do for many reasons (one of which that I’m in it so damn much I know how to hack the crap out of it. The other main one being: let someone [...]

Man, how long has it been? Too long. I really should pull myself away and write some more. Its just that I’ve been spending so much time inside WordPress lately I haven’t had much time to spend on my own framework which I was hoping to port this blog to. That might have gotten more [...]

I haven’t been playing a lot of video games lately, the last one that I got through was Portal and I left Half Life 2 and Bioshock each halfway through, but this one’s gonna change that. I need to play a little bit before it hits so I don’t come off as some lil’ bitch [...]

Can anyone tell me details about Canadian Immigration laws? Depending on what happens in November I might need those. Update: Guess I’m gonna have to do this myself. Eh? (see that? I can be a good Canadadian). http://www.canadavisa.com/.

Sorry, I couldn’t resist that joke. The DNC spared no expense when it comes to security. There’s police and sheriff deputies from all over. They’re easily the most prominent aspect of the convention (besides the road closures). Riot gear from top to bottom. Man and horse alike with face shields and body armor. Armored vehicles, [...]

2.5 days of rain. And water seeping into the basement. Ugh. Fortunately the only damage was to CD/DVD boxes that had been stored away more than 2 years ago since everything is now in iTunes. We threw away more than 300 CD cases and a few DVD Cases. Fortunately the old VHS cases were OK. [...]

I was a bit late to the Twitter party (I’m WookeeBoy, if you’re interested). I see the value, and the fun, but am finding that part of it makes me feel a bit awkward. I’ve got followers. Not many. Some are friends. Others are, well, I don’t know. Its kind of weird. Some Tweet a [...]

Biking to work for the last week and a half has really shown me just how out of shape I am. Compound that with pulling weeds for most of the day today and I’m one sore puppy… and a sorry excuse for an active human being. Ouch.

Just when you least expect it life changes. And quickly at that. Long story short. A cold call from a recruiter on last Wednesday leads to me signing a work contract with a new employer the following Wednesday. Wow! I’ve never heard of that happening before, let alone with a company that has me this [...]

Yep. Work has been time consuming. I’ve been reading more (currently reading up "World War Z"). I’ve been focusing more on photography and boning up on my lighting skills. Been programming plenty, just all at work. Life is good, but this poor, poor, excuse for a blog is dying a horrible death. He didn’t totally [...]

Harumph. Seems like the 25-35% failure rate of XBoxes may not be far off the mark. No sooner does Microsoft extent the warranty against the 3 flashing red lights, aka: Red Ring of Death, my replacement XBox 360 goes down like a 3 dollar hooker. Do I seem bitter?

I haven’t felt like I’ve really had a handle on anything at work or at home for quite a while. I feel like I’m just trying to make it from day to day without losing my head. Literally, I sometimes feel like I’ve lost it. Not that its a bad thing. I’m really busy at [...]

I got one of my presents early since we had to go pick it out. A Tippmann A-5 with 20oz. tank and goggles. FUN!

No, not tonsil hockey. We bought a 14 game package to the Colorado Avalanche and so far have been to 2 winning games. Unfortunately the first one was preseason so it was refreshing to see this latest win against the Canuck-leheads after a couple of ties against Dallas and Minnesota. I took the little Nikon [...]

You’re probably thinking I’m on crack. How about a little back-story. I recently had a near catastrophic hard drive failure on the drive that housed all my music. I feared the worst for a while but after a stroke of luck I was able to recover most of the drive. I don’t think I lost [...]

I’m guessing I must have had some spare positive karma lying around because I just had an influx of free stuff that still has me just wondering what I did to deserve it.

This recipe can be considered heart attack on a plate. Its simplicity defies its taste and deadliness. This one is a calorie demon! But its good.
