Leaves for sale

Right before Thanksgiving I raked up about 18 bags full of leaves from our backyard.   Our curbside yard waste pickup happens on Thursday mornings.  We left town on Wednesday so I didn’t put the leaves out to sit until Friday when they’d finally get around to picking it all up.  Then I was sick last [...]

Read the Kid Purple review

There is a play or something called Kid Purple apparently.
You have to take an odd route to actually get to the review. If I link directly to it the website will ask for you to register an account, but if the link comes from google - it won’t.
So this is what you [...]

When can we get rid of tv commercials

When I was sick last week sitting at home by myself during the day I watched a couple of movies. One I watched was Red Dragon that I had saved with my DVR several weeks prior to viewing it. I thought it was probably on a channel that was not going to have [...]

Who will take over for me

I’ve been sick - miserable sick. I got some drugs today from the walk-in clinic. I still feel like my head might explode tonight.
I’ve had more shit come out of my nose just today than I have in the first 11 months of this year combined. Yet there is still more in [...]

Does this look like fun?

I stopped to take a picture this weekend riding my bike around down by the river. I’m getting studded tires on that one today and hope to head back over there tonight. Looks like fun doesn’t it? Get your bike ready and come with me, or you can borrow one of my [...]

A game of Civilization?

I’m trying to gather up a couple people for a game of Civilization IV by email.  The way it works is you take a turn, then email a file to whoever goes after you.  They take a turn and email the file on again.
If you aren’t familiar with Civilization - read a review of it.
If [...]

My first Greasemonkey script!

Greasemonkey is a firefox addon that allows users to write code that can modify (usually to improve) websites that you otherwise wouldn’t have control over. The actual website isn’t being modified, but just how your browser presents it to you. It has no effect on anyone else.
Install Greasemonkey
Then check out my first Greasemonkey script here:

WTF is going on here?

I grew up with more than my fair share of haunted-house type of stories. A lot of you have probably heard them, some of you may not have. I know some people were very interested in the stuff, some weren’t. I wish I still had the photograph of the mystery girl in [...]

What kept me awake last night?

Last night just after going to bed I noticed a couple bright flashes of light coming from outside our house.  I initially thought it was lightning and thought it was kinda weird but didn’t think much of it.  After a couple more flashes I started to think something was weird about it.  It didn’t seem [...]

I can do a flip on my bicycle!

I learned tonight that I can quite easily do a flip on my bicycle.  All I need is a small ditch that comes to a very sharp V shaped angle at the bottom.  But it needs a little snow cover so the sharp angle is not noticable.
I did that tonight on my way home from [...]
