The Internets Just Want A Tombstone - Live and Learn Edition

We grilled pizzas for dinner tonight. Let me just say that grilling pizzas requires the ability to deftly control the temperature of the grill. Not such an easy thing to do with charcoal. We had four sections of Pillsbury pizza crust to work with. The first was an abject failure; charred beyond all recognition...

The Internets Do Work In Advertising - Gots To Get Paid Edition

I'm currently on a conference call where people are yelling at each other regarding music licensing. Awesome. Note that if you're not logged into the site you'll see some Google AdSense ads here and there. Click on them. But only if you're interested in Sandwiches apparently. Writing...

The Internets Are Alarmed - Off The Hook Edition

My alarm system has successfully knocked out any and all phone connections from my house. It made a call to the alarm company (false alert) on Saturday and the system has been dead since then. Strangely enough, I still had intermittent DSL sync until late last night. I went to the phone box outside the...

The Internets Expect Price Cuts - Hard Drive of 1996 Edition

I have a really long rant about the new 'Elite' version of the Xbox 360 that launched last night , but it's boring and I don't really feel like typing the whole thing out. The gist of the arguments are: The new Xbox is $480 (!). When everyone is bashing Sony for the high price of the...

The Internets Have A Problem - Addiction Edition

Actually went to a movie theater last night to go see The 300 . Good stuff although it wasn't quite like I expected. The 'Historical Fantasy' genre is interesting and, in my opinion, ripe for development. Not that I know jack about film development, it's just nice to see something new...

The Internets Are Not Made of Thousands of Tiny Mirrors - Contest! Edition

I ate McDonalds for lunch today. It was quite good but I don't know if I can live with the shame. The magical chemicals in their 'buffalo' sauce sure are tasty. The Girl is hanging out with people who are not me tonight. I can't decide between going to see The 300 or just sitting on my...

The Internets Medium Rare - No Teeth Please Edition

Our admin runs an interesting Final Four pool every year. Sixteen people throw in $10 each and randomly pick one team from each region. My picks: Texas A&M CC (15), Arkansas (12), Illinois (12) & Tennessee (5). This is why I don't gamble. Expense checks are always kind of awesome. They're...

The Internets Can Put It Anywhere - SPARTA Edition

It has become apparent to me of late that these things just don't write themselves. Through sheer force of will I have attempted to make it happen, but it is just not to be. The triple threat of a new position at work, pending nuptials and selling my home has really infringed on my Internet surfing...

The Internets Like Made Up Holidays - Margin of Error Edition

Work is so boring that it hurts right now. Nothing much is going on with my new account and the old account is pretty much all wrapped up. Pretty much. The client seems to be devising new and interesting ways to revise the plans in small, yet fantastically labor intensive ways. The Girl sold her house...

The Internets Are On The Bubble - Dance Dance Edition

Will you judge me if I purchase Dance Dance Revolution for my 360? I can't quite bring myself to purchase it ($80 is a bit steep for a video game of marginal interest). Still, the prospect of The Girl actually playing a video game (and flailing around like a mental patient.) is somewhat attractive...
