Palomar Observatory
The day got started with a hearty breakfast of bacon and eggs for most of us. Bill decided he just needed bacon and a Diet Coke. After breakfast Rick, Bill, Sang, Dave, and I headed to the Mount Palomar Observatory to check it out. Brandon decided to stay back and hold [...]

Say that in your most mousey voice
Last night I had dinner with my friend Beth. Afterwards we both had some papers to write so we were hanging out at her place. She disappeared in to the kitchen for a few seconds when I heard an “ouch.” Then a “oh shit.” I [...]

The first 3 arrive, then 4, then 5 and 6 . . .
Rick, Brandon, and I met up a Brandon’s, finished loading up Rick’s Yukon, and we were off to the mountains. The drive out was uneventful. Except for one tiny lapse of concentration by our driver, Rick, which *could* have sent [...]

What was this person thinking?

I have to thank my friend Greg for snapping these photos. The owner of this *new* Toyota Corolla has adorned it with bling bling chrome and pink rims. Then (or maybe before) the person decided that it needed something new and special . . . .

Amusing amusement at the amusement park
Serge got some free tickets from some chick that were only good for a couple weekends, this weekend being the last. The regular price would have been about $60.00 per adult, which is insane. For the most part there were no lines, probably because of the cool weather. [...]

iPod as mirror ? ? ?

Thursday, February 16th, 2006

Answer: Yes!
Yesterday I made myself feel like MacGyver by using my iPod as a mirror. I was in the process of working on a large immovable computer and RAID that were not in racks. I need to turn off the RAID box but could not see the back of it at all. [...]

Well not ME, those other guys, Greg and Mike

The IT Crowd . . .

Monday, February 13th, 2006

Funny British sitcom, especially if you work in Information Technology
One of my co-workers pointed out The IT Crowd to me the other day. It’s a sitcom about an IT department, I have watched the first 3 episodes and I love it. They got it right. Well, except for the technical jargon isn’t [...]

Kevin & Bean make fun of Brokeback Mountain

Kevin plays this little audio clip when ever there is mention of Brokeback Mountian. I for one find it hiliarious. If you listen to them you might also know that it seems everyone at the show is tired of this little audio clip except for Kevin. [...]
