On Random Road Musings
When did gas prices climb back over 2.50 a gallon? Seems like two or three weeks ago when they were flirting with going under 2.00. And seen on the road today, a decal on the back of a car–Naff Auto Sales. An unfortunate name, that–Naff.
On Upgrading
After a minor hiccup, we’re now running on the latest and greatest iteration of the WordPress software, version 2.0.2. Definitely different on the back end. On the front end, though, there should be no significant changes. Except for the five minutes where the webpage showed no content at all, hence the “minor hiccup.” 🙂
On Describing My Life With Song Titles
Shamelessly stolen from Keith DeCandido: Choose a band/artist and answer only in titles of their songs:John Lennon, just the solo work, just to be challenging. 😉 Are you male or female:“Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy).” Describe yourself:“Give Me Some Truth.” How do some people feel about you:“Watching the Wheels.” How do you feel about yourself:“Crippled Inside.”Continue reading “On Describing My Life With Song Titles”
On Being Behind the Curve
At times I feel out of place in Raleigh. Why, you might ask? Because I just don’t sodding care about college basketball, that’s why. There are three top-notch college basketball programs right here, within a twenty minute’s drive, if I cared, and yet, I don’t. College basketball does nothing for me, sorry. Indeed, I didn’tContinue reading “On Being Behind the Curve”
On Reading
Some random questions, taken from a mailing list. How often do you read?I read something every day. As oftentimes as not in bed before nodding off to sleep. Some things are best read in small chunks, like a book I’m working on presently–Garrett P. Serviss’s Edison’s Conquest of Mars, which was written as a newspaperContinue reading “On Reading”

On a Bizarre Walking Behavior
News of the bizarre! Scientists have discovered a family in Turkey in which the five children walk on all fours because they’re unable to stand upright. They speculate that the children may have suffered a genetic disorder–their parents are noted as being closely related–and they’ve reverted to an instinctual form of human mobility. Rather thanContinue reading “On a Bizarre Walking Behavior”
On New Worlds to Conquer
I’ve downloaded the new patch for Age of Empires III. While I’m not sure what the patch fixes, I do know what the patch adds–a new map called Hispaniola. Yes, now we can fight for control of the New World in Haiti! It’s quite a fun map to play. It’s an island, with a largeContinue reading “On New Worlds to Conquer”
On Recent Reading
What have I been reading? I’ve been on a Revolutionary War kick of late. Or at least, of that era. Currently atop the desk–Redcoats and Rebels, by Christopher Hibbert, which offers a British perspective on the conflict. Also recently read, General Howe’s Dog, by Caroline Tiger, about, besides General Howe’s Dog (obviously), the battle ofContinue reading “On Recent Reading”
