Okay, this is about as un-rant-ish as I think I’m capable of getting. I received this picture in my e-mail recently, and it just melted my black little heart. I’ll let the story tell itself:

Stuff I really can’t figure out a pigeonhole for.
Saying Good-bye to Jerry
This past Wednesday was our literal Funeral for a Friend, as we bid our final farewells. The funeral itself was, in my opinion, the best possible sort: brief and focused. I’m not a fan of ceremony for ceremony’s sake. A few of us spoke of Jerry, how we’ll remember him and what [...]
Jumping on the “Avatar” Bandwagon with Both Feet
So, from what I hear there’s an explosion of videos on YouTube detailing how to paint yourself blue, and to otherwise try to look like a Na’vi character. I figured that’s lame: on one hand, you ever tried washing all that shit off when you’re done? Don’t even tell me you plan to [...]
On Finding Gifts for Geeks
So, Xmas is past but if you had any hard core geeks on your gift list last year I’m betting it was a royal chore finding something “suitable” for them. Tell me, honestly: where do you think that gizmo is now?
My friends, I’m here to make your next foray into geek giftdom an experience [...]
Okay, guess you just have to laugh
The whole Tiger debacle has been what it is. Some people are upset, some pretend they knew it all along, some don’t give a rat’s ass, and some decide to make a funny. That’s what the fine folks over at My Dog Ate My Blog did when they posted Wood’s Wood Warrants 8 [...]

Mostly, I’d say no. Yeah, I saw some sweet prices on a [...]
Ode to a Golf Ball
In My Hand I Hold A Ball,
White And Dimpled, Rather Small.
Oh, How Bland It Does Appear,
This Harmless Looking Little Sphere.
By Its Size I Could Not Guess,
The Awesome Strength It Does Possess.
But Since I Fell Beneath Its Spell,
I’ve Wandered Through The Fires Of Hell.
My Life Has Not Been Quite The Same,
Since I Chose To Play This [...]
Four Cats
The Four Cats
Four men were bragging about how smart their cats were.
The first man was an Engineer.
The second man was an Accountant.
The third man was a Chemist.
The fourth man was a Government Employee.
To show off, the Engineer called his cat, “T-square, do your stuff.”
T-square pranced over to the desk, took out some paper and pen [...]
Is this thing on?
So here is the not-really-obligatory first blog post. I’m not going to get into a lot of blather about me–not yet, at any rate. I’m still wrapped up in the throes of getting this thing on line, getting it integrated into my other web pages, and geeky stuff like that. Once the dust settles I [...]
