October!

So here we go, off on the right foot and everything – it’s the first post of a brand new month.  One down, thirty to go, right?  I’m not sure how much faith I have in my ability to do a daily posting.  The goal is really to get myself in to the habit of … More October!

Phone Phear.

I couldn’t tell you what exactly it is about phones that freak me out, but there is something. It takes a great deal of physical and mental effort on my part to work up the ability to make a phone call. Answering the phones isn’t a huge deal – more often than not it’s a … More Phone Phear.

Google Experimenting.

I’ve always been curious about how quickly the minions of Google index websites and such. It seems like they’re on the ball about it so I created a couple of test pages using some friends names – ones whose names yield virtually no search results when I looked earlier today.

Geekgasm.

I may have been down and out because of my back the past couple of days but I did manage to do something productive. Well the relative merits of how productive it actually was could be debated, but for my purposes it was productive indeed. The chair in the house that gave my back the … More Geekgasm.

Papa needs a new back.

After fracturing my back and hip when I was younger I always knew later in life it would lead to problems.

The other day my back … More Papa needs a new back.
