Tell ‘Em, Kermit.

Kermit Ruffins has a song called New Orleans is… in which he ticks off a metric assload of things that help make this city what it is.
I love this song. It’s a toast to the town.
Kermit, I’d like to add another item.
Yesterday, Fiorella’s opened back up.
I have waited, literally for months now, for these guys [...]

Verizon, Bluetooth, and the Treo 650

I’m using my laptop right now, surfing the web through my work cell phone.
Since both the Treo 650 and the 12″ PowerBook use Bluetooth, I can connect them quickly, easily, and wirelessly.
This is good and all, but I now want to be able to get online at broader-band speeds on my laptop using my phone.
Unfotunately, [...]

What a Difference a Year Makes.

This time last year, I was gearing up and heading to Birmingham.
It was also snowing.
This year? Well, a bit different.
I’m not going into it. No jinxing, no blogging, nothing.
So, I’m off to Chateau Willcore™ for dinner with the family.
2006 will be a good year for me, dammit.
There is a new interest, I will have quit [...]

SQUIRREL!

This is for anyone who knows Andre and Leigh’s dogs, Freya and Joey (aka Vinz Klortho™) :

Too Much is Never Enough

I had so much to drink yesterday / last night that I blacked out.
And when I got home, I apparently thought it would be fun to play the “Let’s try to vomit on everything” game.
I almost won.

Exactly Like You

I’m going to play this song at Andre and Leigh’s wedding, it’s just too perfect.
Leigh even said that maybe they can use this for their (first?) dance song. Wow.
This song makes me happy. Puts me in a good mood.

My life, in cartoon form.

Penny Arcade has once again perfectly captured my (and many other geeks) frustration in dealing with end users.
Especially those you are related to.

I do so love the Penny Arcade.

You’re welcome.

Roop thanked me today at Molly’s.
Outside of the people in my company, nobody has yet thanked me for doing my job.
Not that they necessarily know the extent of what rests on my shoulders.
I am the lone System Administrator for a Marine Underwriting firm here in NOLA.
What is that? Well, it’s a little tricky.
To simplify it, [...]

So much for VP McGarry

Jon Spencer died today.
So Long, Leo.
