A Poll: Am I a Big Nerd?

So what do y’all think? Am I a big nerd?
Please just answer in the comments.

Better Internets

For a couple of months now, we’ve struggled with our internet service. If I was browsing more media-heavy sites (just browsing!) or using Google Reader (guess it updates a lot) then Yut’s game would lag. Or video would stutter. So, for example I would have to schedule my photo uploads. All [...]

Making the Super Bowl Interesting

Oh this is just one of the funnest things I’ve read this week (and definitely the funnest article about the Super Bowl that I’ve read, although that’s not saying much):
Art museum director Super Bowl trash talk: It’s on.
The art directors of the Indianapolis Museum of Art and the New Orleans Museum of Art have a [...]

A Little Crazy Morning

I stayed home this morning from work cos I wasn’t feeling too well — nauseous headache amongst some other small things, not really too terrible, but I couldn’t face staring at bright monitors and having to be friendly to people. I’d taken my Excedrin and was lying in bed when I start hearing yelling. [...]

Oops I Did It Again

We installed Civ. Well it’s Civilization IV — I think when I previously mentioned playing too much Civ, it was Civ III. Not that we haven’t had Civ IV but the madness can only continue for so long! We were furloughed ’til past the New Year and one day I said, “Y’know, [...]

Weather Wimp Indignation

OMG, it’s so cold! I’m sitting at a desk, wearing a wool sweater, cords, scarf, hat, and coat!
It’s so cold that some of the buildings at work don’t have heat because parts of the steam system had to be shut down because of overwork (or something like that). The infrastructure can’t [...]

On a Jet Plane

I’m on an airplane, getting free internet. Pretty cool, eh? It’s a Virgin America/Google deal — now through January 15, free wifi on flights. And it’s at least as good as my sister’s DSL service!

Changes! Again!

I’m changing my theme. It feels like once ever year or two I just feel like I want something different. But then I have to tweak it, which is a bit of work since I don’t know what I’m doing really. I think I might tone down the colors a bit, and [...]

What I Did (Part of) This Weekend

Like a school essay “What I did this summer,” only covering a much shorter period of time. And okay, not very essay-like. Regardless, it starts like this:

In case you haven’t guessed, I played a lot of …

Not only that, I’ve started downloading things for my Sims. (Cos that’s just what I needed, [...]

Giant Spider

There is a giant spider outside our door. It made its web between the banister and the ceiling and it is freaky! Super freaky!

To avoid this spider we are walking the other direction to the further stairs. He’s just catching bugs, not bothering anyone, but jeeeeezus… from top to bottom, legs to [...]
